夏暴羽的綺思狂想斷層 Stormyfeather

When it comes to bravery, a woman's profile comes into my mind -- Mu Lan, Hua, a heroine in Chinese folktales. I came to know this legendary woman through a video filmed by Disney. This animation was drawn by Americans, but it was hard to tell before I saw the introductions. This animation portrait Mu an, Hua, an unmarried girl but the eldest girl in the Hua family. Mu lan decided to replace her father when he received the order which called him to the military. She disguised as a man and went to the army, telling the general that she would fight for their country. During the months of training she tried not to disclose her identity and went on the exercises as comrades. Several years later, she returned to her hometown with honor.

    I have tried to imagine Mu Lan's emotions – how brave she should be to make such a decision! The books said that she lived in a dynasty in which man and woman could both learn how to ride the horse and fight with bows and arrows, but it was still different! She must have plucked up all her courage to devote herself to the warfare without backing off in fear. She may be awake at night, missing her parents or weeping silently. It really needed bravery when she faced the enemies because she knew that she could not shrink back but fight, or else these enemies would attack her country and slaughter her fellow countrymen.

    Mu lan, Hua is the bravest woman in my mind, and I cheer myself up with the spirit of the heroine.
