Hua Mulan (4 12-502) was born in Yucheng (now Yucheng County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province) in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was during the period of Emperor Wu Tai (424-452). At that time, 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. However, Mulan's father was too old and sickly to go to war, and her younger brother was still young, so Mulan decided to join the army instead of her father and began her twelve-year military life.

Going to the border to fight is a hard job for many men, and Mulan has to hide her identity and kill the enemy with her friends, which is even more difficult than ordinary people who join the army! Fortunately, Mulan finally fulfilled her mission and returned home in triumph decades later. Because of her great contribution, the emperor pardoned her for cheating the monarch, and at the same time believed that she was capable of serving in the court and holding an official position. However, Mulan refused because she had an old father to take care of at home, and asked the emperor to let her go back to China to make compensation and honor her parents.

For thousands of years, Mulan has always been a respected woman in China, because she is brave and simple. 1998, American Disney Company adapted Mulan's story into an animated cartoon, which was welcomed all over the world.

Mulan Poetry has been included in middle school textbooks and sung by thousands of people in Qian Qian for several generations. Mulan's deeds and image have been put on the stage and will be immortal. Her spirit has inspired thousands of Chinese sons and daughters to defend their country, which is touching.
