Ermmmm.... I'm sorry, but which is the version of mulan where she kills herself, because the version I know, the original Chinese poem, she retires back to her home to live as a normal Chinese woman.

It goes more or less like this: after 12 years of war, Mulan turns down the Emperor's offer of an official post to return home. Several months after her retirement, some soldiers from her unit decide to visit her and are shocked to find out she is a woman. She receives them and they talk. End.

The version where she commits suicide is later and way more dramatic. The original one is supposed to have been inspired by the life of Empress Fu Hao.
