The flower that blooms in Adversity is the Most Rare and Beautiful of All

Mulan is also one of the children's movies that Disney created. It was produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures on June 19, 1998. It is the 36th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics, and a part of the Disney Renaissance, the film is based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan. Mulan is ranked number eleven in the Top 25 Disney Movies. Disney also released a sequel, Mulan II, in 2005.

Mulan had tough times throughout the movie. She decides to take her father place in the army since he is elderly and the only man in the family. Since Mulan was a woman she had to learn how to behave like a boy and fight with the other men in the Huns. Mulan faced adversity for being the only woman in the army and had to reveal herself after she was slashed in one of her battles. Once the leader found out that she was a woman, he spared her life but made her stay on the mountain while the rest of the army departed. At the end of the movie, Mulan comes back to save the army and defeat the enemies.

"The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all" is a quote from the movie. I have heard a lot of quotes similar to this but not this exact one. Anybody can succeed when they do not have to worry about any negative things but some people fold with adversity. Some people do not know how to handle problems and just shut down and lose it when they are faced with them. This quote is saying that a person who can handle adversity is the best type of person. Mulan could have easily gave up on the army after they let her go but she fought to keep them safe. If a person faces adversity and still shine then they have shown that they are a leader.
