Mulan: Rise of a Warrior (2009)
In 450 A.D., the ruling Chinese dynasty of Northern Wei is under constant threat from the Rouran tribes. The Chinese army conducts a nationwide draft. A retired soldier named Hua Hu insists on enlisting again to serve his country. Hua Mulan, his young daughter, is quite intelligent and skilled in various martial arts. But because she is a woman, she cannot enlist. At night, Mulan takes her father’s armor and weapon, disguises herself as a man and slips out of the house with the family horse. Enlisting with the Wei army in her father’s place, she is recognized by her friend Fei Xiaohu “Tiger”, who agrees to keep her secret.
Mulan befriends Wentai, the battalion’s sub commander, as well as other recruits “Scholar” and “Fatso” and his younger brother. Throughout the harsh military training, Mulan proves to be courageous and already skilled in combat, defending others from the bullying of the army commander’s nephew, “Turtle”. One night, when Mulan is taking a bath in a secluded hot spring, Wentai unexpectedly runs into Mulan. After a brief skirmish, Mulan escapes without exposing her identity. However, Wentai becomes determined to uncover the woman hiding in the camp. To make matters worse, during training Turtle unknowingly dropped a valuable jade pendant, which Tiger furtively kicked into a nearby lake as an act of revenge.
