From World Disney's Mulan

I watched World Disney's Mulan sometime last year, and this statement struck me:

The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.

I'm still reflecting on what this means, considering how Mulan disguises herself to join the Imperial Army for a much needed battle that would save both her father and her people. Mulan did bloom and mature under such pressing circumstances. And was recommended as a rare and beautiful flower to her man.
