I am rich with the wonders of the world. When you think of it, they are nothing but a few running creeks and lush mountains — nothing to be awed over. Out of everything I have, the only thing worth something is my sincere heart. You want it? Take it.

Lord Kunlan (Guardian, priest)

This is one of my favourite statements of love.

The Red River is an important geographical feature in Chinese mythology. The river is said to flow from Kunlan, a legendary mountain said to be home to both deities and humans who have achieved immortality. 

One god said to reside there is Yu Shi - the Lord of Rain who earned his title by ending a terrible drought. Nowadays there are many rivers in China that share the name Red River, as they were once believed to be this mythical river.
