ResumoThe story of Hua Mulan, who in ancient times disguised herself as a man to serve in the army in place of her father, has always been recounted as a beautiful legend. However, the "Hua Mulan" in this article, who dressed like a male for twenty-five years, did not do so for the noble purpose of taking her father's place in the army. She was but a tragic figure created by the vestiges of feudalism and the prejudices of custom.
