"...Barry Cook said maybe Clint Eastwood combined with Bruce Lee. Lee for the physicality, the athleticism, martial arts skills, but with Eastwood's understated macho. That's who I think of when I think of Shang--very cool, very definitely in control, and very-by-the-book."~Ruben Aquino; The Art of Mulan

Just what was that passage up there? The real life models for character for Shang. Personally, Clint's personality would've never occurred to me, but I guess it works. LOL So who IS Shang, anyways?

"He's the latest in a long line of military officers. His father is the general. His father's father was a general, and probably back for generations. He went to the ancient Chinese equivalent of West Point. He had all the proper training, read all the right books on the art of war. He is proficient in martial arts, and can fight with a lot of different weapons--swords, lances, and sticks. He knows miliary theory, but he has never actually commanded troops or seen battle. He really wants to do well by his father and when he is promoted to the rank of captain, it is his big opportunity to show what he can do--that he's got the right stuff."~Ruben Aquino; The Art of Mulan
