Mentor and love interest
Li Shang was voiced by BD Wong in the original, with Donny Osmond providing his singing voice and Jackie Chan doing his parts in the Chinese-dubbed version. Some fans of the original film have questioned the need for the character's removal, suggesting there was nothing untoward about the relationship between Mulan/Ping and Li Shang in the first place. Kala Elizabeth tweeted: "Li Shang's entire arc is about realising that Mulan isn't lesser than because she's a woman, he learns and grows because of her. "It's almost like men could learn from this exact story?" Another user, Sam the Great described Li Shang as a "bisexual legend" and one that "would never use his position as her commanding officer to pressure her into a relationship", noting that it "isn't until after Mulan leaves the Chinese army that Shang pursued her". Both tweets have each been liked more than 200,000 times on the social media platform. Disney's most expensive live-action remake to date is due out in UK cinemas on 27 March. But its release in China has been postponed for now due to the outbreak of coronavirus.DISCLAIMER: The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.
