Hua Mulan is a legendary Chinese warrior woman from the Northern Wei Empire, first described in the folk poem The Ballad of Mulan. In the poem, Mulan's aging father is conscripted into the military, but Mulan disguises herself as a man and takes his place. There is a slight possibility than the poem was based upon a true story, but most historians agree that Mulan is completely fictional. She has since become a figure in popular culture in both the east and west, and her story has been made into many adaptions.
A more expanded version of Mulan's story set in the 7th century appeared in The Romance of the Sui and Tang, a historical novel written during the Qing dynasty. In the novel, one man from each family in Sui dynasty China is called into military service, as the empire is under attack by both the emergent Tang dynasty and the Western Turkic Khaganate.
In the original tale, Mulan fights bravely in the army for twelve years, winning many honors. After her service ends, she is offered a position in the government, but turns it down in order to return to her family. In the Qing version, the story comes to a much more tragic end. The Sui are defeated, but the Tang Emperor is impressed by Mulan's filial piety, and allows her to return home, where learns that her father has died and her mother has remarried. She has no time to mourn as the Khan of the Western Khaganate summons her to his court to be his concubine. Rather than accept her fate, Mulan commits suicide.
