Why Fa Sheng Matters Now -- And Why We Need You

" There was a time I believed in nothing but my fists.

I buried my past beneath sweat, silence, and stone floors. But grief… it has a way of seeping through the cracks. And the path I thought I’d abandoned now calls me again.

This is not a story about vengeance.

It is a story about standing back up.

Fa Sheng: Origins 3 arrives on Kickstarter, June 4 — the next chapter in my long walk through fire.

If you've ever questioned your purpose, doubted the heavens, or stood at the edge of belief…

…I walk with you."

~Fa Sheng

Dear Immortals,

As political tensions between the U.S. and China rise to some of the highest in recent history, it can feel like we’re caught in the crossfire of narratives we didn’t write. But stories have always had the power to reshape what politics distorts — to show us the human soul beneath the headline.

This is where Fa Sheng begins.

Set during the Boxer Uprising — a time when foreign powers ransacked China under the guise of progress — Fa Sheng: Origins isn’t just a martial arts epic. It’s a window into the raw pain and complex resistance of a people whose bodies, beliefs, and sovereignty were stripped away.

The Boxers weren’t mythical. They were real warriors who trained in kung fu to resist invaders armed with guns. They wore amulets. Practiced hard qigong. Believed their spirit could turn aside bullets. And while history remembers them as tragic, we remember them as all too human.

Fa Sheng, our protagonist, is born from this fire. Grieving. Angry. Hollowed out. He enters the Shaolin Temple not as a seeker of enlightenment, but as someone too broken to believe in anything beyond survival. What unfolds is not just a battle of fists, but a reckoning with spirit — a realization that true power isn’t in how hard you hit… it’s in what you stand for.

In a world tearing itself apart with distrust, Fa Sheng asks a question: Can we build something new from the ruins of pain? Can we turn story into a bridge — not a weapon?

We believe yes. But not without you.

👉 Click “Notify Me on Launch” on our Kickstarter to stand with us. Not just as a reader — but as someone helping us bridge cultures through courage, through memory, and through mythos. Because the fight isn’t just on the battlefield.It’s in the stories we choose to tell — and the ones we choose to lift up.

Let’s make this one count.

With fire and gratitude, Team Immortal
