 There was a young woman named Mulan whose father was old and weak. When an enemy threatens China, Mulan's father is drafted to join the army. In order to save her father to go to war, Mulan took her father's sword and armor and disguised herself as a man to join the army, without her family's permission. For the next ten years, she became a skilled, famous general. Her true identity remains hidden from her comrades until the very end. After gaining fame in battle, she was summoned to meet the Emperor Khan. What do you think will happen if Mulan is discovered to be a woman?  (Hsin-Chiao Tseng, college student, angel2929.tw@yahoo.com.tw)
