Venerable Chen Guilin's quote was,"Time is running out. My name is Chen Guilin. I have a name. Don't call me Guilin boy anymore. I'll give you one minute. The person who stays will end up like him. My name is Chen Guilin. I am a sinner. I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid that no one will remember. Return to your true self. Wasn't it good to have nothing? That was foolish. Wasn't it good to be able to live without a purpose? Before you die here, you will live here. What do you think? There are some things you can understand, but there are some things you won't understand even if you hear them. People's deaths were all self-inflicted. So what?"

Chen Guilin's personality was complicated. He was persistent, blindly loyal, kind, and had a strong sense of justice. He was eager for revenge, but his heart was filled with suffering and fragility. He chose to live in the underworld, but he always corrected his mistakes when he saw injustice. Chen Guilin was simple-minded and always chose the most direct way to solve problems. He showed courage and wisdom, growing from an ordinary gang member to a hero. Although his actions were cruel and ignorant, his heart longed for a new life, for recognition and attention. Chen Guilin's personality made him a striking, three-dimensional and realistic character.
Chen Guilin was portrayed in the movie " Zhou Chu Exterminate the Three Evils " as a killer from the underworld who killed people without batting an eye. The people he killed were the worst of the worst. Although he was a wanted criminal, he also had his own weaknesses. For example, after he committed the shooting, he was afraid that he would be caught on the news and let his grandmother in the nursing home see it. Therefore, he had been avoiding arrest. From the perspective of society, law, and the dignity of life, Chen Guilin could be identified as a bad person. However, the movie wasn't simply about good and bad people, but about human nature through a complicated plot. Chen Guilin hoped to leave his name in history like Zhou Chu had done with the three evils. This was also his need for self-realization. Therefore, whether Chen Guilin was a bad person or a good person depended on one's personal values and understanding of human nature.
Chen Guilin's classic lines included: 1. " Rather than being like a rat that died in the dark, it's better to be more aboveboard. At the very least, leaving a name in exchange for a little dignity." 2. [I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid that no one will remember me.] 3. [My father gave me this name, Chen Guilin, hoping that I would be as famous as Guilin's landscape. In the end, I didn't have any armor. I was half-cooked!] 4. " Didn't Daddy tell you about Master van Gogh? Uncle Bei's ears are hard, so he can't hear." 5. " It's still the same saying. The more wine you can drink, the more you can do. After we drink today, we'll all strive to do something big." 6. [Guilin criticized Second Brother-in-law: How can you be afraid of being laughed at? If you're afraid of being ruined, can you still earn money?] If you're afraid of being laughed at, you can't earn money now. I have to talk to him about this when I have the chance. You have to first free your mind. Only after you free your mind can you free yourself!" 7. " If you want these two chimneys not to explode, you have to let people see that these aren't two chimneys, but two gold bars." These lines showed Chen Guilin's personality and thoughts. He wanted to leave his name, afraid of being forgotten, and at the same time expressed his pursuit of justice and dignity.
Chen Guilin could be considered a bad person. He had killed many people. This was an act that society and the law could not tolerate and accept. Although he showed some warmth in the movie, such as buying candy for kidnapped children, saving Xiaomei, persuading female customers to leave, etc., it did not change his identity as a bad person. However, most of the people Chen Guilin killed were bad people, which might make people not hate him so much. All in all, Chen Guilin was not a good person, but he was not a pure bad person either.
Chen Guilin started killing because he hated the Venerable One to the core. He had a different experience in dealing with the Hong Kong boy and Lin Luhe. Chen Guilin tried to get some information about the Hong Kong boy in the barbershop, but he was discovered by the Hong Kong boy. Although he had experienced some thrilling moments, Chen Guilin had finally succeeded in killing the Hong Kong boy. He had hidden himself even more deeply from Lin Luhe. He had changed his identity to become a Venerable and established the Spirit Society. After Chen Guilin discovered the Venerable One's secret warehouse, he didn't intend to start a massacre at first. He only wanted to avoid any additional accidents and blew up the thighs of the believers who rushed up. However, when he heard that the singing and dancing were still the same, he realized that the Venerable One's spirit had not been completely destroyed, so he returned and destroyed the cult. Chen Guilin's motive was not to uphold justice, but to do a righteous act of eliminating evil.
The reason why Chen Guilin vomited black water was because he had eaten the special food provided by the spiritual center. This food was designed to make the body expel black liquid to create the illusion that the condition was worsening. This design was to cover up the truth and make people mistakenly believe that Chen Guilin had cancer. However, the truth was that Chen Guilin did not have cancer, and the real patient was another person. Chen Guilin finally saw through the scam and killed the culprit, revealing the truth. The audience felt sorry for Chen Guilin's encounter, but at the same time, they cheered for his bravery and justice.
Chen Guilin had killed many people in the movie " Zhou Chu San Xu." To be specific, he killed Mr. Hoffman, Brother Iron Head, the Hong Kong boy with the duckbill hat, the Hong Kong boy himself, the other two Hong Kong boys, the Venerable One's long-haired follower, the Venerable One's fat follower, and the Venerable One himself. These actions made him the target of the police. Therefore, Chen Guilin did a series of bad things in the movie.
