I know this is old and all, but I caught something here and I am curious.

What did Borte mean bring Yeying to Oogway? He is alive?

Awwww I'm a sucker for happy endings - Shifu got to reconcile w/ Shan, reunite w/ Yeying, finally open up to Tigress, and even start reconciling w/ Tai Lung.

But seriously, thank you for writing this amazing story! It's been a wild ride, seeing Shifu grow up from his rice farmer days, to awkward teenager days, to being a proud new master, to extremely dark times, to being an emotionally constipated teacher/mentor/parent, to an old man who's found peace and family.

Man, I just realized how aggressive Shifu was in that peach tree scene

*smashes head against wall*
I fricken KNEW this was gonna happen, I knew daddy issues were gonna come into play. Man, now I wanna read a fix-it fic where Shifu handed this situation a lil better

Gaaaaaaah Shifu why would you fricken abruptly change your relationship with Tai Lung like that? You've p much guaranteed daddy issues for him smh

Bruhhhhhh that was an emotional rollercoaster - 1) screw Rong Lang, 2) nooooooooo not Yeying, 3) SCREW Rong Lang, that murderous bastard, 4) man Shifu's getting absolutely screwed over by life, and 5) love your interpretation of how Shifu met Tai Lung!

Nooooooooo why Shan? Why did he snap like that :(

"and something you have always had will be lost forever"

Smhhhh why you gotta make a dirty joke sound so ominous, Oogway?

Lmaooooo poor Shan - first he's gotta deal w/ Ren and Li getting it ~on~ then he's gotta convince Yeying's father that he's not interested in her

Yoooooo, Red Claw wtf?

Bahahaha, Shifu asking Song if he had a great ass was hilarious

"Guys, come on, it's not like this Zigsa guy is Tai Lung's dad or anything,"

Now that's just tempting fate

Awwww I'm so glad that Shifu responded well to Li's coming out. Also, "To avoid that awkward moment, we did what any young man was apt to do: beat the crap out of each other so we didn't have to think about it." is a gold sentence :P

(Dang Shifu, whatta bold move you pulled on Song)

Bruh with the way Li acted around Ren? I totally called it

Hi there, most of the time I only read smaller fics, just to read something that I would like to read in that particular moment, but upon starting your story I couldn't put it down. It is truly amazing. It's the first time I started reading such a long fic and it still fits my "rule" to only read something I would like to read in that moment, because I adore every part of your story, any time. I really had a laugh at the bluntness of the characters in this chapter. You did a really great job portraying both the existing characters and your own, you gave them all great personalities and your story is nicely paced and filled with great adventures and struggles. I LOVE IT. I saw it's been quite a few years since you've written this, but just know that I love every single bit of it. Can't wait to continue reading over the coming days.
