About This Quote
There are other ways to beat someone than with fists. This quote comes from the movie “Yi Yi” which is a story about a man who is willing to do anything to make his father proud. The movie takes place in Beijing, China where the main character is kicked out of the home he grew up in. After being forced to sleep on the pavement, he steals a pair of shoes and then raids a garbage dump to find something he can eat. The phrase “there are other ways to beat someone…” comes after this because if you choose not to use violence, you will still be able to get your point across.
