Looking at China's 5,000-year-old civilization, even though the concept of male superiority and inferiority of women prevailed in feudal society, countless heroic women still emerged, among which Liang Hongyu, Fan Lihua, Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying were four outstanding female heroes.

As a woman, Mulan is not afraid of sacrifice and has written a heroic legend full of tragedy for the country. Her story has been passed down to this day and has become a role model for contemporary women in their pursuit of self-improvement and bravery.
