Republic of China Texts - The Story of Mulan

The woman Mulan, who usually serves her adoptive parents at home, is very filial piety. The whole family relies on him to weave hard and not to worry about freezing and starving.

One day, Mulan suddenly saw the military post, knowing that the country was bullied by outsiders and wanted to recruit soldiers to resist, and his father was also one of the recruits. Mulan was in no hurry at this time. Because my father is old and can't go out to fight; He did not have an older brother and could apply for the conscription in place of his father. If you think about it, you can only change to men's clothes and personally contribute to the country.

He bid farewell to his dear parents, left his dear brothers and sisters, joined the army, and drove to the cold and bitter place in the far north to kill the enemy bravely.

Mulan spent thirteen years in the army, fighting hundreds of battles, until the time of the enemy's peace, no one knew that he was a woman.

Although he made many meritorious achievements, he did not want to be rewarded by the state or become an official. Still back at home with my parents, I did the work of weaving.
