Author's Note
Hua Mulan [NEW AUTHOR]For those of you who have not read the original 'Ballad of Mulan', there are many differences between it and the Disney adaptation. I mentioned this before in the foreword, however, I thought I should elaborate.
The original storyline has no romance or general that Disney's Mulan falls in love with. The only theme of love in the story is her love for her father that leads her to fight in his place. However, I wanted there to be male characters in this story, thus, I have used Disney's adaptation and another Chinese adaptation for ideas on how to involve them in the story. In other words, although this will mainly be based off the original tale, there will still be a hint of romance in it.
This is the original ballad:

This is the Chinese version of the movie (I can't find one with english subs, because the one I watched, I could understand Chinese):

This is also inspired by the song: Time Boils The Rain.
The lyrics are so beautiful.
