✦ About
Hua Mulan is the legendary woman warrior who disguised herself as a man to take her aged father's place in the army. For twelve years she fought alongside male soldiers, earning honor and promotions through her skill and courage while keeping her true identity secret.
Her story, recorded in the Ballad of Mulan, celebrates filial piety—love for parents that leads to extraordinary sacrifice. When offered high office after the war, she asked only to return home to her family.
Mulan represents the power of filial love, the capability of women to equal men in traditionally male domains, and the Chinese ideal that virtue knows no gender.
✦ Famous Story
When Mulan returned home after twelve years of war, she changed from armor into her old dress. Her comrades who came to visit were shocked to discover their brother-in-arms was a woman. They had fought beside her for years and never suspected.
