A long time ago, chief shang chi and his wife yin Jin gave birth to a child during the time the dragon battled with the demons.
The battlestopped because of the intervention of the white lotus, the goddess of creation.
Shang chi just came back when his wife was seriously sick and was pregnant. After some months, yin Jin gave birth and during the process she died.
When she died, the baby became sick and blind, all the priest tried to help. But their magic was not enough to heal the baby.
On one stormy night, a old woman knocked on shang chi door, she told shang chi to take his blind baby to the mountain of eleyria (where the white lotus stopped the war).
Shang chi immediately swung to action and took his son, wan to the mountain of eleyria. Getting there he saw a glowing statue that had two glowing pearl on the forehead.
When he placed wan in the water, a glowing light shone, that when the Demon pearl flew and entered wan's body .
