...Despite this turmoil?or perhaps because of it?Yan Ming thrived at Shaolin. As one of the few youngsters in residence, he enjoyed the often undivided instruction of the older monks, who schooled him in the improbably paired disciplines of Chan (Zen) Buddhism and kung fu, for which the temple was famous. Daily exercises sharpened both his physical and mental control: 30-minute handstands were followed by meditation; bare-handed wood chopping was a prelude to chanting sutras.

In one notable scene she makes lesbian-then-macho love (with a strap-on appendage) to heroine Loletta Lee, a 29-year-old actress who had sexed her way through much of the same fare. She was instantly noticed: half demonic, half nymph-gazing-through-the-eyes-of-the-worldly-whore. Wong Jing, at that time Hong Kong's most successful filmmaker, proclaimed that Shu Qi would one day be famous...
