New Mulan Legend

Introduction to the work of "The Legend of Mulan" During the Northern Wei Dynasty, when the border was in crisis and her father was old, Hua Mulan decided to take off her red makeup, put on her armor and join the army on her father's behalf. The work takes her twelve years of military career as the main line. It not only depicts the iron blood of the battlefield: charging with a spear in the wind and sand, studying the art of war in the camp on a cold night, but also depicts her inner struggle - the collision between her daughter's body and her identity as a soldier, her concern for her hometown and her determination to defend her family and country. From being at a loss when she first entered the military camp, to growing up to be a brave general admired by her comrades, to being indifferent to resigning and returning home after her success, Hua Mulan used actions to break the shackles of gender. The text injects delicate emotions into the richness of history, making the legend of "joining the army in place of one's father" a moving epic about a woman adhering to her filial piety and responsibility in troubled times.
