What a literary character does in ten minutes might be a reflection of ten years’ experience.
A clear reflection of the author intention when writing the character of ye wenjie.

if you can acomplish this, then your intention is the more richer for it

Each stroke of the sword, each koloss felled, each breath earned is a victory! It is a person protected for a moment longer, a life extended, an enemy frustrated!”

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
