"God gives the free will for people to change from bad to good and vice versa - whatever they choose to do...It’s up to humanity to decide what they want and which direction to turn. It’s just up to them to change. And with all the power of the leaders, they should do something faster than this. So, we just pray for the best. That’s that, okay? If half the population of the planet becomes vegetarian, that would be already fantastic news."

New Shaolin Temple to be Set in Early 20th Century

-- New Shaolin Temple --
New Shaolin Temple that Shaolin, Henan Movie & TV and EMP are producing is being written by Yuen Kam Lun. The movie is set in the Republican period in early 1900s, when the land was divided and ruled by rivalling feudal warlords, and the people were living in hard times [possibly just after the Manchurian government was toppled or death of General Yuan Shikai]. The story revolves around the monks from Shaolin Temple extending their help to the populace and even sacrificing their lives.

The production is currently in talks with Jet Li and Andy Lau to star in the film, with the former invited to play a senior monk. Production begins no earlier than end of the year. Chinese Business View
