Its heroine, a young woman named Hua Mulan ("magnolia flower"), steps in for her old, ailing father, by donning the traditional clothes of men and joining the emperor’s army." - The Smithsonian Magazine "Ten thousand miles she rode in war, Crossing passes and mountains as if on a wing. / On the northern air comes the sentry's gong, Cold light shines on her coat of steel." ... ... ... ... "I adjust my wispy hair at the window sill, And apply my bisque makeup by the mirror. / I step out to see my comrades-in-arms, They are all surprised and astounded: 'We travelled twelve years together, Yet didn't realise Mulan was a lady!'"
