"Everything is all right," she thinks. "I'm a woman but nobody knows my secret." (p. 18)
In ancient China, there was a young woman, Hua Mulan. She lived with there family in a little village. One day, the Emperor announced that the enemy were now here in their country and he needed a big army. Then her father was on the list which showed who join to the battle. However he was too old to fight and he was in ill. So she decided to go to the battlefield instead of him...
Mulan was too cool. I want to call her Chinese Valkyrie. Although I understand it is nonsense to suspect, I wonder why all other soldiers couldn't notice she was a woman. But fighting woman is our roman, isn't it?
