Ling dreams of a beautiful girl, pale with eyes like stars. In order to keep up morale on the long march, Ling encourages everyone to begin dreaming of the girls who are surely waiting for them back home. The trio are able to successfully complete their training, and are called off to war with the rest of Shang's troops. Due to some quick thinking by Mushu, the three remain unaware that "Ping" is actually Mulan. However, they do so while bathing, making Mulan very uncomfortable, as she is forced to hide her gender. One night, they reintroduce themselves, in order to make a new start. Ping is able to win their respect after completing Shang's challenge. Since 'Ping' earns all the recruits a harsh punishment, the trio quickly take a dislike to the disguised Mulan, and continually harass the soldier. While Mushu's advice to Mulan is initially helpful, Mushu insults Yao, who starts a fight believing Mulan said the insult. Their interactions imply that they already know each other. In Mulan, the trio are first seen in the camp.
Personality Yao Live Action Film Ling Live Action Film Chien-Po Live Action Film Appearance Yao Ling Chien-Po Mulan (film) They bond over their shared love of food. In the second film, he wears green and falls in love with Princess Su. At times, he seems to demonstrate super-human strength.Īfter the camp turns on 'Ping', Chien-Po is the only one of the trio to not try to make life difficult for Mulan, although at no point during the sequence does he show her any support. Some of his character appears to have been taken from Buddhist imagery. However, he is also very gentle, and seems to care a great deal about food. They even share the "Chopstick-nose-trick" (putting the chopsticks up ones nostrils, then wiggling the nose for a tacky mustashe image), though Ling claims he invented that gag originally and calls it his signature.Ĭhien-Po is the largest, in both height and size, of the trio. His talent at telling jokes is able to win over the princess, though it wasn't easy as she hates her pig-like laugh that he claims is adorable when he first hears it. he does grow more capable though, as near the end, he is able to use the move to incapacitate one of the Huns.In the second film, he wears blue and falls in love with Princess Ting-Ting. He is something of a weakling physically, as he knocks himself out during a block breaking task in training (in his lyric of the montage song, he admits its because he used to "cut gym" during the school-hours of his childhood, and as of that moment, he felt like a fool for it). He nearly discovers her secret, but Mushu bites him on the backside, causing a panic among the trio that allows Mulan to get away. When Mulan proves her worth, he is the first to intend to start over - unfortunately this is during her bathing scene. During training he slyly kicks the support from 'Ping's' rocket, resulting in her becoming charred and Chi-Fu's tent (and Chi-Fu) to be incinerated by the wayward rocket. He appears to the the clown (and de facto leader) of the group, and often has a joke ready. Ling is of medium height and slender build. He is able to impress the princess using his talent for fighting. In the second film, he wears purple and falls in love with Princess Mei.
He initially dislikes Mulan, in part due to a perceived insult (which actually came from Mushu), but later becomes her friend.ĭuring training, Yao talks back to Li Shang, and as a result is picked out as the first to try to retrieve the arrow, deliberately humiliated in front of the other recruits. Despite his strength, he seems to be somewhat clumsy. He seems to have a hot temper, which can be cooled by Chien Po. He wears a red uniform, and also has one black-eye as well as a mustache.
As soldiers in the Chinese Army, they are capable of fighting using various methods, including swords, cannons, arrows, and hand to hand combat. They presumably were recruited via conscription notice, similarly to Mulan. According to commentary on the Mulan DVD, these three essentially represent the entire Chinese Army.
