Mulan – a heroine Mulan, known in Chinese as Hua Mulan, is a 2009 Chinese film starring Zhao Wei as the protagonist. The director, Jingle Ma, has explained that this film is vastly different from the 1998 Walt Disney animated film and adheres more to his imagination. Plot Mulan follows the Chinese folktale of Hua Mulan, about a young woman who dresses as a man to fight in the war in place of her father. In camp, she proves her bravery when she turns the tide of battle by killing the enemy general and eventually reaching the status of general. After twelve years of fighting, the Rouran invades the Wei heartland once more. In response, Mulan develops a plan that will trap and eventually destroy the invasion. But, she eventually finds herself betrayed by her superior when no supplies and no support is forthcoming. With an army slowly dying from thirst and wounds, Wentai reveals himself to the Rouran as a prince of Wei, and offers himself in exchange for the safety of Mulan and her soldiers. Mulan sneaks into Rourans camp and finally rescue Wentai. Mulan returns to the Wei capital where she at last reveals herself as a woman and not a man. The Wei emperor nevertheless rewards her and announces that his son, Wentai, will marry the Rouran princess to bring peace to the lands. Wentai asks her to elope with him. Mulan, however, convinces Wentai the necessity of sacrificing for their country. Understanding this, Wentai sadly leaves the village. This film is based on the Qing’s novel, mixed with modern thoughts and dictions. In this film, Mulan sacrificed her marriage for her country. It is the reflection of Confucianist’s virtue, such as loyalty and chasity. 电影中的木兰形象——英雄中的女性 从花木兰这个传奇女子的性情蜕变与情感经历入手，用个人的成长经历来构建整个故事让长达十二年的军旅生活变得有血有肉，有笑有泪。木兰是英雄，却不是男性词典里的英雄形象；木兰更是一个女人，面对死亡、面对爱人、面对背叛，女人那独有的挣扎、不屈不挠与顽强都从嘶哑的声音、默默地流泪、大口的喝酒中缓缓流淌出来，细腻而真实。影片在最后也没有给木兰留下一个田园美景或终成眷属的美满结局。软弱似乎是女人的天性，让一个女人和“软弱”挣扎，从而成为了一个英雄。
