A lot of Chinese martial arts films were based on Chinese martial arts novels. And these novels created a world of putting history, calligraphy, and martial arts into one.

When you watch my films, you're feeling my heart.

Personally, I prefer contemporary films, but the market calls for more period choices, especially since China opened up a cinema market in Hong Kong. There's a lot of restriction for contemporary films simply because of subject matter.

I act according to the requirements of the character, and if I try to play the role, then I play it truthfully. In my daily life, I'm a laid-back, peaceful guy. I'm just doing my job to act.

For years, I looked to Bruce Lee as a mentor as being a Chinese and Asian man living in this country.

I have always been a great fan of Peter Chan and many other great directors who specialize in anything outside of action.
