 Mulans family name, Fa, should actually be pronounced Hua. Fa is  the south Chinese (Canton) pronunciation used in Hong Kong and the  surrounding area, Hua is the North Chinese (Mandarin) pronunciation  used in much of the rest of China and on state television. Both  share the same written form and mean flower. The Chinese dub uses  the Hua pronunciation as Mandarin is Chinas official language.
