Living in North America and having a daughter in her prime, I feel how important the princess is in the Disney universe. The princess is the initial aesthetic benchmark of almost all little girls, the life mentor, the relatives and friends, and the original self in their eyes. So first of all, we are proud to have our representative from China in this princess family.

I have a colleague, a white girl in her twenties. She told me that Mulan was her favorite princess when she was a child, because Mulan was different from other princesses. She is brave and knows martial arts. She can save others without the help of the prince. You see, when Disney created Mulan, the signal was very clear, and all the children understood this essence. From Mulan, Princess Disney began to conform to modern values, more independent, braver, more like a protagonist than a vase.

From the perspective of understanding China culture, this film also moved me. There is a plot in the movie. Where did Mulan go when she was in trouble? Ancestral temple, ancestor worship, ancestors sent Mu Xulong to protect her, look, pray for ancestors' blessing, right? You are familiar with it. I met foreigners several times and asked me why China people don't believe in religion. Is it not allowed in your country? Later, I seriously thought about this issue and found that there is an indestructible content in China people's beliefs at any time, believing in their ancestors. It can coexist with other religions. Ordinary people usually go to the temple to burn incense, and when they go home, they will also give incense to their ancestral tablets. Even now, ancestor worship is a familiar activity. But it seems too common, and this cultural foundation has been generally ignored. Mulan moved out of the ancestral temple, which was very interesting and highlighted the importance of family. China is very delicious.
