An Exchange: Ch’en and Kyo
(Continued)
Ch’en:
“ ‘I’m not the sort to feel remorse. In the business of murder the difficult thing isn’t to kill – the thing is not to go to pieces: to be stronger than…what happens inside one at the moment’ ” (153).
The murder of Chiang Kai-shek remains at the center of debate. Murder and death are analyzed validated, and absolved. “My life is not in the past, it is before me” (Ch’en, 154). Dreams, memories, and guilt are overruled by “certainty” and conviction: the vital elements when deciding, defining, and determining one’s destiny.
