i was wondering Why is Shang-Chi's father able to live for thousands of years, is that ability also passed down to Shang-Chi?

It is said that Xu Wenwu was able to live so long because he mastered the Ten Rings weapon. Then considering that the weapon has been passed down to his son, Shang-Chi, it is likely that Shang-Chi also gained the same ability as long as he mastered the Ten Rings.

Actually, the missing part of Shang-Chi's solo movie is the limited information about the background of the Ten Rings weapon considering it is arguably the main driving element of the story. The only information given is that Wenwu accidentally found the Ten Rings and made him a long-lived fighter and ruler. A slight clue is given at the end of the movie when Carol Danvers and Wong cannot identify the Ten Rings as any alien technology or magic artifact.

There are two popular theories among fans regarding the origin of the Ten Rings. First, it is alleged that this weapon is one of the creations of The Eternals (Phastos). Meanwhile, the other theory says that the Ten Rings could be related to Kang The Conqueror along with Kamala Khan's (Ms. Marvel) power bracelet.
