Quotes by Bai Xianyong (?)

“Va, Aquing, c’est ton tour de voler de tes propres ailes.. C’est dans le sang que vous l’avez, gosses sauvages nés sur cette île, cette force brute que l’on trouve dans les typhons et les tremblements de terre qui secouent notre sol. Vous êtes de jeunes oiseaux tombés du nid, qui, comme les hirondelles de mer qui franchissent les océans, ne savent qu’aller de l’avant, pour aboutir où ? Vous-mêmes ne le savez...”
― Bai Xianyong, Crystal Boys
