* Inverted in ''[[Mulan]]''. The title character argues that her father Fa Zhou has already served in the army, sustaining heart problems and a leg injury that necessitates a cane. He will die in battle if he goes to fight the Huns when the Emperor sends conscription notices. Fa Zhou asserts it will restore honor, something Mulan lost that day by failing her matchmaker exam, and he will die "doing what is right". His wife Fa Li agrees with Mulan in private, fighting with her husband and crying before they go to bed. Since Fa Zhou has no sons that can take his place, Mulan takes her father's armor and conscription notice, posing as a man to replace him in the army.
