When the news about Bori Kahn’s invasion arrived in their place, everyone in the family must have a representative to fight against the enemies.
The father of Mulan stepped forward saying, “I am blessed with two daughters. I will fight”.
Mulan was crying and took herself his place. Scenes like practicing on how to use the sword and saying, “Loyal, brave, and true. I have to protect my family.”
And the next scene is her disguised as a man while the men were being trained for the war.

“A Mulan who supports state violence and police brutality are not representing the true spirits of this character: brave, assertive and dedicated,” Nathan Law tweeted.
After its release, protesters were editing and making fan art of the Mulan teasers in support of the Hong Kong demonstration.
