Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

The question I have chose is number 2 which asks "Why did Li Mu Bai have such a strong desire to teach Jen?" There may have been a couple reasons for him to feel so, but one main reason was to get her onto the right track of life and keep her there. She was raised an trained by the evil Jade Fox which made her viewpoint on life a clouded dark one. He wished to take the martial art talents she had and convert their bad nature to good. She was living a life of wrong doing and he wished to change that. She used her skills for the wrong reasons. Speaking of which, another reason Li Mu Bai wished to teach her was because she had been teaching herself techniques and gone so far. If she became a disciple of Li Mu Bai her skills would become much greater. He could have more throughly taught her moves and trained her to her true potential, which she nor the Jade Fox could do. I believe this would have been really good for Jen. It would have made her abetter person  for sure, basically converting her from the dark side to the good side. Although without ever becoming his disciple, Li Mu Bai dying still turns Jen into a better person. Just through an unnecessary tragedy.
