Figure 3: Hua Mulan

There are a few things that are key in all the different versions of
the stories I have read. First, Mulan entered the army in place of her aging
father, whom she loved, knowing he could not endure the viciousness of
war. Second, she always seems to have hidden the fact that she was a
woman until later in the story, and when it did come out, that inspired her
people. Third, there is usually a love interest in the form of a military
commander. And fourth, she doesn’t seek for riches from her fame and
power, but only to do good for her people and her family.

Let’s go back to the movie version by Disney®. Let's lay out the
key concepts it shows us. To keep these concepts separate and distinct, I
will number them.
