Actually, coming from an Asian Society, CYF isn't seen as a perosn who seeks retribution or a super gunman. Most Chinese see CYF as the epitome of Chinese brotherhood and loyalty to one another. He does not place greed or self above his fellow brothers(may they be Triads, Cops,etc) and will always be there when they need him. So i say if he is a saint, then he should be the of Bortherhood. Watch the Better Tomorrow and the other chinese movies he made, even the TV series and you will understand.
