The Ballad of Mulan
Retold and illustrated by Song Nan Zhang
According to legend, there was a young woman in China named
Mulan. Her aged and frail father was drafted to fight in the war. Unwilling to see her father fighting in the war, Mulan disguised herself
as a man and joined the army in his place.
The story of this legendary
woman first appeared in ballads sung during fourth-century
China, known as the Northern Wei dynasty. For hundreds of
years, Mulan has been an inspiration for Chinese girls and
women.
