Mulan lived in ancient China and was inspired by her father, a retired general, to learn how to fight and ride horses. When the military announced that one man from each family must join the army to fight in a war, Mulan's family could not send her father or young brother. Mulan decided to disguise herself as a man and took her father's place in the army. She fought bravely for many years without revealing her true identity as a woman. After the war ended successfully, Mulan was called before the emperor and received an award for her courage and service.
