About Shi De Qian: He was in the Shaolin Temple when he was 15 age of years, and stayed there to be a Shaolin protection monk for 31 years, till 1992. He was the Abbot of the temple for several years until replaced with Shi Yongxin. Then He lived outside of the temple, as a Shaolin layman monk. Shaolin layman monks compare with the temple monks (who still live in the temple) the only different thing is that they can eat meat or drink beer, and other foods and beverages, but the rest about them is the same. So All Shaolin Temple monks who live in outside the temple are Shaolin layman monks too. They have a certificate, which issued by their Shifu from Shaolin Temple. Because we all trained some time in the Shaolin Temple in previous years and everybody is still permitted (and proud to say) they are Shaolin Temple Wu Seng (fighting monks, or protection monks).
