In the movie, Shu Lien says to Jen, "promise me one thing, whatever path you take in life, be true to yourself." This is a very powerful statement. When the movie first starts out, Jen is shown as an innocent young girl who is capable of doing nothing wrong. As the movie continues, this view of her changes when she steals the Green Destiny. This is the very first time we see the evil she is capable of and that she has everyone fooled. We learn that she is actually a follower of Jade Fox, one of the biggest enemy's of Jen's family. As the movie nears it's end, a glimmer of hope appears in Jen as she realizes she belongs on the good side after many encounters with Li Mu Bai. When the movie ends, Li Mu Bai is dying because of the poison given byJade Fox. Jen realizes she needs to help and redeem herself so she goes out and tries to find an antidote but is too late. This scene is one of the most powerful in the whole story because it displays a change of character mentally, physically, and emotionally. When Shu Lien says this to Jen, she means that she wants her to go through her life doing what she knows is right. She wants her to follow her own heart instead of doing the wishes of others. She should not go through life wishing she could go back and change something because of regret. I do believe that Jen does followe through with this. After she hears this, she goes out and follows her heart. She goes back to find the love of her life and doesn't more evil. Her spirit is pure and rid of all evil Jade Fox influenced her with. She wants to right all the wrongs she has done to herself and to other people.
