When Mulan was a teenager, her father often took Mulan to the river outside the village to practice martial arts, riding horses, shooting arrows, dancing knives and using batons. In her spare time, Mulan also likes reading her father's old art books.
During the period of Wu Tai (424-452), after the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the social economy developed and people's lives were relatively stable. But at that time, the nomadic people in the north kept harassing the south, and the Northern Wei regime stipulated that each family should send a man to the front.
But Mulan's father was too old to go to war and her younger brother was too young, so Mulan decided to join the army instead of her father and began her long-term military life.
It is difficult for many men to go to the border to fight, not to mention that Mulan has to hide her identity and kill the enemy with her friends.
But Mulan finally fulfilled her mission and returned home in triumph after more than ten years.
Because of her great contribution, the emperor thought that she had the ability to serve in the court and hold an official position. But Mulan refused. She asked the emperor to let her go home to make amends and honor her parents.
