Mulan is one of the Disney princess characters where she tells the story of a girl who pretends to be a boy to become a soldier and replaces her sick father. Sounds like a mere physical story but in fact the story of Mulan is not like other Disney animated series.
Because the story of Mulan actually happened in real life. Then what is Mulan’s true story like? The legend of Hua Mulan was a fearless, Chinese soldier from the North and South Dynasty periods.
Located in the Northern Wei era (386-536), the poem “Ballad Mulan” tells how Mulan replaced her father when a man from each family was called to serve in the Chinese army to defend the country against the invaders. According to the story, his father was old and weak, while his younger brother was still small.
