Ying and Yan - Title

Title

The title references the Yin-Yang, but it is also composed of the names of the two of main protagonists. "Инь" is the Russian transliteration of the Chinese word transliterated in English as "Yin", and similarly "Ян" is for "Yang". However the "correct" translation would miss the puns with the names of the protagonists: Inga and Ian (Yan).

Famous quotes containing the word title:

    It was his title that killed me. I had never spoken to a lord before. Oh, me! what a fool, what a beast I have been!
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    The End?
    —Theodore Simonson. Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr.. End title card, The Blob, printed on screen at the end of the movie (1958)

    There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man’s title to fame. Only those books come down which deserve to last.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
