Long ago in China, there lived a girl named Mulan. Her father, once a brave general（将军）, was too old and weak to fight, but not too old to teach her how to ride a horse and use a sword（剑）. Girls usually did not learn these skills at that time. But Mulan’s father believed everyone should know how to fight, even girls.
One day, the emperor（皇帝） sent soldiers to Mulan’s village. Because the war was coming, each family had to send one man to join the army. The leader of the soldiers put up a list of names in the village square. And Mulan saw her father’s name on the list. She knew her father couldn’t fight in a war and her brother was just a child. Only Mulan could take her father’s place.
The next morning before her father could report for duty, Mulan

quietly stole his armor（盔甲）. Knowing women were not allowed in the army, she dressed up herself as a man. The soldiers accepted “him” in “his” father’s place. Mulan was very careful over the years. No one found that she was a girl. When the war was over, Mulan received a special award from the emperor for her great courage.
When Mulan returned home, her family greeted her with joy. Her brother was pleased with the gift of her military clothes. Mulan dressed once again in the clothes of a woman. That evening, Mulan and her family got together to watch the sunset.
Two of the fellow soldiers stopped by to visit her on their way home. When Mulan greeted them, they could not believe their eyes and were amazed to learn that Mulan was a woman. They spread Mulan’s story across China and it inspired many young women to dream of riding a horse and learning to fight.
