== Origin ==
Fa Zhou is a supporting character in Disney's 1998 animated feature film, Mulan. He is the father of Mulan and a respected veteran of the Chinese army. Despite his age and injury that makes it hard for him to stand, he is a wise and honorable man who is loyal to his family and his country.
Fa Zhou, a central character in Disney's "Mulan", hails from a humble Chinese village where he was raised by Grandmother Fa and his late father. Renowned as a war hero from an unnamed past conflict, his name invoked awe, particularly when Shang referenced him in admiration upon seeing his name on a conscription notice.
Fa Zhou's age is apparent, bearing a leg injury from his wartime experiences that forces him to walk with a crutch. Married to Li, he is the proud father of Fa Mulan. A traditional man, he places family honor above all else, a belief that initially strains his relationship with Mulan. Despite his adherence to tradition, he possesses a compassionate side, consoling Mulan after her failed meeting with the Matchmaker by likening her beauty to a late blossom.
When faced with conscription for war, Fa Zhou valiantly refuses his crutch and attempts to train for battle, driven by an unwavering sense of duty. However, it becomes evident that his physical condition could lead to his demise on the battlefield. Mulan passionately argues against his participation, emphasizing the unfairness of his potential sacrifice. In an emotional exchange, Fa Zhou's stubborn pride is evident, reflecting his generation's ideals of duty and honor.
After Mulan bravely assumes her father's place in the army, Fa Zhou collapses while attempting to call after her. He is scared for his daughter's future, knowing that if her true identity is revealed, she would face dire consequences under Chinese law. When Mulan comes back as a hero, he discards the Emperor's crest and Shan Yu's sword that she has brought as trophies, and embraces her, finally admitting that he has always been proud of her and will always be.
Fa Zhou appears again in "Mulan II", when he gives advice to Mulan and Shang as they face a new problem. In the 2020 live-action adaptation, renamed Hua Zhou, he offers guidance and encouragement to his daughter, Mulan, as she finds her path, eventually celebrating her heroic achievements and reconciling their relationship.
