Couching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Li Mu Bai has such a strong desire to teach Jen because she displays so much potential of being a great master. Jen is one of kind, she developed on our own with no guidance. Nobody has taught her through her lifetime. She usually gets what she wants with hard work and being stealthy. Li is interested in her throughout the movie even though she does not show him any respect at all. Jen is focused on one thing and that is to gain possession of the Green Destiny. The Green Destiny is a all powerful sword and whoever has possession of it is almost impossible to defeat. Li knows she has a distant mind and can only see one thing. He wants to train her and become one of the greatest master ever to live. Li and Jen have two very different fighting styles. Jen fights with a lot of power and attacks very hard all the time. She gives maximum effort for every strike. Li uses his inner skills to defeat his opponent. It looks like that he barely uses any effort to fight his opposition. With his smart mind and years of training, combined with Jen's fighting skills can be one the greatest combo ever. That is why he does not give up on her. As a Wudan Master, he is very peaceful and graceful on everything he does. He does not judge people on what their background is. He always thinks people have the opportunity to change. Li Mu Bai believes Jen has the ability to change. He tries talking to her throughout the film, but she will not give in. He never gets frustrated with her or gets upset. He keeps his inner peace and tries to persuade her before his death. His mental teachings during the various fights helps her make a decision before the film is over. Li believed that she was different. She was a warrior who learned  amount on her own. A person with that much ability can be great. Li sees that early on in the film. She is constant with her moves, has a good abiltiy, and has a tough mind. Unfortunately, her stubbornness gets in the way and never allows Li to properly teach her .
