Quotes Ching Wan: Don't you sometimes feel sad for us martial artists? If we're incompetent, then we can easily get killed. But if we're good, then either we challenge other masters or we ourselves keep getting challenged and can never have peace.

Ching Wan: I don't regret the life I've chosen. Do you?
Hashimoto: Neither do I.
