Who was Fan Xian's best father?

Answer 1

Fan Xian's fathers that were commonly mentioned were the Qing Emperor, Fan Jian, Chen Pingping, Fei Jie, Wu Zhu, and Lin Ruofu. If I had to choose, I think it would be Fan Jian. Next, I will explain them one by one.
There was no need to say anything about the Qing Emperor. He was a scumbag father. His feelings for Fan Xian were built on the basis of value. There were not many personal feelings (it could be seen from his attitude towards his other sons).
Fan Jian, Fan Xian's adoptive father, had used his own son to exchange for Fan Xian's return. He treated Fan Xian better than his own son, Fan Sizhe. He had mentioned that he hoped Fan Xian would be an ordinary rich man and live a peaceful life. This was the same as Fan Xian's original wish. He was the father who thought the most from his father's point of view.
Chen Pingping treated Fan Xian as if he was his own son. He gave all the resources in his hands to Fan Xian and cleared all obstacles for him. However, his feelings for Fan Xian were basically all based on his identity as "Ye Qingmei's son." The person he truly loved was Ye Qingmei. This also led him to do many things "for Fan Xian's good" without caring about Fan Xian's true wishes.
Fei Jie was actually the most special of them all. Other people's feelings for Fan Xian were more or less influenced by Ye Qingmei, but Fei Jie completely loved Fan Xian as a person. His feelings were the purest. In ancient times, the relationship between master and disciple was like father and son. Fan Xian had also said that he would take care of Fei Jie in his old age. Although the two of them did not spend much time together, in Fan Xian's heart, his master was also one of the most important people.
Wu Zhu said,"If Fan Xian dies, the Qing Kingdom will perish." He had been by Fan Xian's side since he was young. His feelings for Fan Xian were unquestionable. As a robot, when he had received the order to destroy Fan Xian, he had actually disobeyed the order. This also reflected his deep feelings for Fan Xian.
As for Lin Ruofu, he had bound Fan Xian to the honor and disgrace of the family. He did not have many personal feelings. His support for him was all out of interest.
