- "Something so terrible happened because of the mirror my family created."
- ―Yunshen Yuan
Yunshen Yuan (Hànzì: 袁雲深, Pinyin: Yuán Yúnshēn, On'yomi: En Unshin) is a stonemason who lives at the edge of Bailu Village, Guilin with Shenhua Ling, his adpoted daughter. His family worked the Phantom River stone from ages and sculpted both the Dragon and Phoenix Mirror, and their huge replicas in the Bailu Stone Pit. Yuan is an old man and, according to Shenhua, severely ill.
Shenmue II[]
Yuan is not seen in Shenmue II, however when Ryo Hazuki and Shenhua reach her house, Yuan is absent. The next day Ryo and Shenhua visit the Stone Pit to find a letter Yuan wrote before disappearing. In the letter, he tells Shenhua to stay with "the one who holds the Phoenix" and entrusts to her the Sword of Seven Stars, a treasure of his family.
Shenmue III[]
Ryo and Shenhua find out that Yuan had been kidnapped alongside Guowei Xu (another stonemason) by the Blue Spiders sent by the Chi You Men. After investigating Bailu Village they learn from Chai That Yuan and Guowei Xu have been taken to Niaowu. At Niaowu, Shenhua is later kidnapped too, leading to Ryo and Ren with the support of Qiu Hsu, Shiling Lin and Xianzi Bei who commandeers a boat towards The Old Castle. After another encoutner with Chai, Ryo takes the cell door keys and frees both Yuan and Guowei Xu, leaving their safety to Xianzi Bei.
Upon leaving Niaowu, Ryo gets a chance to ask Yuan about the Iwao and Friend Photo, where Yuan confirms the man next to Iwao Hazuki in the photo is Sunming Zhao father of Longsun Zhao (Lan Di). He also mentions how the Dragon and Phoenix Mirror were entrusted to Sunming Zhao which lead to his mysterious death. He also confirms that the Chi You Men have taken over the Cliff Temple where the Mirrors are meant to be stored.
