Long ago China was in the middle of a great war. The Emperor proclaimed that one man from each chinese family must leave his family and join the army. Mulan, a teenage girl, ran to her old father as soon as she heard the news. She wished to join the army as her father was very old to serve in the army.

Mulan went into her room and cut off her long black hair. She wore her father’s robe and disguised as a man. She had been trained in Kung-Fu by her father so she bade good bye and joined the army.

In the army she proved to be a brave soldier. Her battles went so well that she was given the post of a General of the entire army. After some days a very bad fever swept through the army. Mulan, the general was also affected by this fever. The doctor found that Mulan was a woman. The soldiers got angry and yelled that she should be punished. But some soldiers said that they won every battle with Mulan as their General.
At that time, there was a surprise attack from the enemy. Mulan led the army and won the battle. The Emperor was pleased and asked her to be his royal adviser. Mulan refused this offer and wished to return to her family. The Emperor gave her six fine horses and six swords. She returned to her village and everyone cheered that she was safe.
