“Who's sick? If I want to die, I'll just die; it's too tiresome to be sick. - Lotus”
Su Tong, Raise the Red Lantern: Three Novellas

“Quella sera, non fossero stati tanto i forestieri ad abbattere i passerotti, quanto piuttosto questi ultimi, uccelli magici volati da un luogo sconosciuto, a prendere d'assalto le loro anime vagabonde.”
Su Tong, I due volti del mondo

“Sono morto come è morta lei, ma non so ancora perchè d'improvviso lei abbia voluto morire se lei viveva così bene, per questo mentre morivo non riuscivo a chiudere gli occhi, il vecchio Tang me li ha sfregati con forza come se stesse affilando un coltello, ma non c'è riuscito nemmeno lui a chiuderli.
Dicono che tutti quelli che muoiono ingiustamente tengono gli occhi spalancati per poter continuare ad occuparsi dei loro cari.”
Su Tong
