    The True Story


    of Mulan
    Retold by Lin Donn
    Illustrated by Phillip Martin
    Mulan
    In Han times, or perhaps Sui
    times, but certainly before
    T’ang times, there lived a
    young girl named Mulan.
    Her father was a retired
    and famous general. He
    taught her to use a sword
    and ride a horse, which
    was most unusual. Boys
    were taught to fight and
    ride, not girls.
    Mulan
    One day, the military posted scrolls in the village.
    The scroll announced that each family had to send
    one man to the army.
    Mulan’s father was too old to
    fight, but too honorable not to
    go. Mulan had no older brother
    to send in his place. Her baby
    brother was brave and strong,
    but much too young to be
    selected.
    Mulan
    Girls did not fight in wars. If only she were a boy,
    Mulan thought to herself. It would be so simple.

    An idea grew in Mulan’s


    mind. Could she do it?
    She had to. Mulan knew
    her father would die if he
    went to war again.
    That day, she bought a horse.
    Mulan
    The next morning, Mulan stole
    her father’s armor and crept
    silently from home. Disguised
    as a man, she reported for duty
    to the military leader.

    Mulan fought for many years,


    some say as many as ten years.
    In all that time, no one knew that
    Mulan was a woman.
    Mulan
    When the war ended, Mulan was called before the
    emperor to receive an award for her courage. The
    emperor offered Mulan a job that would make her
    rich. But Mulan wished to return to her family. She
    asked for a good horse instead, a request that was
    granted immediately.
    Mulan
    Her family was happy to see her. Her
    brother had grown into a fine young man.
    Mulan gave him her warrior’s clothes.
    She dressed herself in woman’s clothes.
    She wrapped her hair in the style of the
    day. She added rouge to her cheeks.

    When she joined her family to watch the


    sun set, Mulan had transformed into a
    beautiful young woman.
    Mulan
    Not long after, friends who had served with Mulan
    came to visit. Their eyes grew large when they saw
    the beautiful woman before them.
    Her story spread across
    China, to inspire girls
    everywhere. If you love
    enough and have courage
    enough, you can accomplish
    anything, no matter how
    impossible it might seem.
    Question
    Based on this story, do you
    think girls normally served in
    the army as soldiers in
    ancient China?

    Why or why not?
