Of all the main characters, who had the best parents.
Ironically, it's Qiao Feng. He didn't know his true history until he was 30, until he was an adult. He grew up with a happy childhood.
Guo Jing: Father was killed while he was a baby. He had plenty of good male role models including Genghis Khan, H7G, his other masters. However, his was still a broken home.
Yang Guo: Father died before he was born. Mother was poor and always in bad health and died when he was a kid. Had Guo Jing for a male role model but only briefly. Learning from DuGu Qio Bai the way he did fits him perfectly because DuGu taught him in absentia. A omnipresent Sifu would have suffocated him.
Zhang WuJi: Had a good childhood up until he was 10 (15?) after which his parents committed suicide before his eyes. The most sad of the Condor Trilogy because, in effect, his parents chose honor and each other over him.
Duan Yu: Had both parents but they were largely seperated.
Xu Zhu: Was a monk and did not know his parents until he was full grown.
Shi Po Tian: Seperated from his parents from birth.
Ling Hu Chong: Closest to Qiao Feng in luck with family, ultimately though, he was not raised by his parents.
