Duan Yu and Shaolin

[Yang Guo]

Shaolin is a very well respected for its martial arts.

Duan Yu, a scholar with absolutely no interest in martial arts. Being a resident of DaLi, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of other Buddhist temples along the way that had enlightened Buddhist monks as well.

Why did Duan Yu like going to Shaolin instead when he doesn't even care about martial arts?

[Ken Cheng]

Deun Yu visited Shaolin twice during DGSD, and on both occassions, it was on someone else's business rather than his own. The first time he went to Shaolin, he was just escorting Wong Yu Yin, who was looking for Mo Yung F'uk. The second time, he was there with his adopted father Deun Jing Tsun to attend the Heroes' Conference. On neither occasion did he go to Shaolin with the intention of meeting with its monks or reading from its library.
