Mulan died on HeLan Mountain

In the palace

On the bed

Made of gold and jade

With a knife in her heart 

All the civilians and military officers kneeled in front

Cried loudly for their queen

Old Emperor stood in front

Kept eyes at his young died concubine 

People throughout the whole country kneeled on the street

Cried loudly for their queen

The queen

The concubine of the emperor 

The young woman called Mulan

But

Who still remembered 

The female general

Killed enemies on the battlefield

That autumn, wind blew

Huns rode horses

Cross the HeLan Mountain

Land lost, people died, cattle stolen, gold lotted

The old emperor still closed his eyes

Played with his concubines everyday

The music went out of the palace

Mixed wit the crying of the newborn baby

Next to the baby, was his dead mother

Huns kept on their journey

Moreland lost, more people died, more cattle stolen, more gold lotted

Crying of babies went into the ears of the old emperor

This time, the baby was the prince, the son of the emperor

Huns gathered under the wall of the palace 

They yelled, horses yelled

Old emperor was already frightened the courage

He spoke to the civilians in a commanding tone 

Asked them to publish the conscription documents

Next morning, a bride was sent to the Huns

The daughter of the emperor married the Hun

Governors went everywhere in the country

All the adult males need to go into the army

Post flew into Mulan’s home

Landed on Mulan’s sword

Mulan picked up the post

Looked at it without sound

She hid the post in her room, quickly closed the door 

Father was too old, brother was too young 

Mother was sick, who else could go

Mulan went back to room

Cut her hair and comb it up

Took off the dress and changed into military uniform of the male

Waved her hands 

Goodbye to the family

Got on the horse 

Toward the military camp

Mulan went to the military camp

For the country

She didn’t know

In the meeting room of her home

Matchmakers gathered around

They introduced the matches who all wanted to marry Mulan

Mulan’s mother and father sat in the middle 

Selecting the best one for their daughter 

To bring honor to the family 

Passed the test

Mulan became a solider 

For the country, for the city, for the family, for everyone 

She sat under the tree

Looked at the sky

Spoke to herself in mind

It’s my duty to fight 

After three months

The leader of the Huns killed his wife

The daughter of the emperor died

Under her husband’s knife

The old emperor didn’t take action 

He still had one son, then why care about the daughter

Even though she died 

Music still playing

Dances still going

Music flew to the camp

Flew into the ears of soldiers

Mulan heard it

She was practicing 

The sword was flying in the sky

Everyone in the country knew the death of the princess

Mulan also knew it

The sword in her left hand moved

The grass nearby instantly turned into grass powder

She wished she could go to fight

But without the mention of the emperor 

Who has the courage to go

Who wants to take the risk, using the life of the whole family

Every night, Mulan holds her sword in her hand when sleeping

Outside the camp, drum kept going on

Mulan imagine

She was already in the war

Fight

Her duty

For the country, for peace

Emperor finally made the decision

Not for the country 

Not for the people 

Just because his other son died

Killed by the Huns 

The music in the palace finally stopped

But who knows, when will it re-start 

Mulan was sent to the front side

Another side, Huns lined up, with scimitars, in their hands

Knives, swords, arrows, hit each other 

Mulan stood at the top of the great wall

waved the long sword

The heads of Huns roll off the mountain

Mulan sat on the back of the red color horse

With longbow in the left hand

Three arrows in the right hand

With eagle feather at the back

Golden decoration at the front

Mulan pulled the bow

Put those three arrows on the bow

The Huns falling down, they died

Mulan and the other soldiers won

The Huns left, went back to another side of the mountain

They should get awarded and sent back home

But the emperor didn’t do anything

Soldiers went back home

The hunger caused the death

They were the only left one in the family right now

Mulan went back home

In front of the house

There were people waiting for her

Not parents, not brother,

But the people from the palace

They said

They worked for the emperor 

Already knew about Mulan 

And knew she is a girl

Now the emperor wanted to meet with Mulan

If not come, everyone in the family will lose their life

They opened a huge cage

Inside, there were Mulan’s parents and brother

Mulan looked at the cage, didn’t say anything

Turned around and jumped on her horse 

Toward the direction of the palace

In the palace, Mulan met the emperor 

The emperor awarded Mulan as the general of the country

Awarded her family, gave them house and moved them to the capital

Mulan’s family felt really proud

They told everyone that Mulan is from this family

And all the people in the country remembered Mulan

That female general who protected them and fought the Huns

But then,

What about Mulan?

Oh, she was forced to marry the emperor, became his concubine

She was locked in the palace, forever

Mulan looked through the window

Birds were singing

Birds were flying

This is freedom

This is the actual meaning of life

Her memory flew back to the battlefield

She used her sword to kill the enemies

Used her effort and believe to save the country

But why, 

Things became this 

Mulan closed her eyes

Tears went out, like the river

She opened the drawer

Inside, it’s a knife

The trophy from the war

Jade at the bottom, golden at the top

She looked at that knife

Smiled 

Then insert the knife into her heart

Blood flew all around the room

Mixed with the smoke

Like the battlefield

Mulan died

Mulan died on HeLan Mountain

It’s her duty to fight

And she did it

The emperor let people constructed the grave for Mulan

The grave is on HeLan Mountain

He also let people constructed a tombstone for Mulan

On that, it wrote

My concubine, Mulan

And that’s it 

Sine that, that female general was being forgotten

In a long time of history

Her story being forget

People washed the history 

She fell in love in military camp

And married her friend

The other solider all knew she’s female

But, what a joke is this?

How she still alive after the others finding out she’s female

There’s a law

There’s a rule

Only male can become solider

Fall in love?

Marry freedom?

Wake up, people! 

Wake up!

Why do you think Mulan gets the chance to do that?

She’s a girl

She’s a daughter 

The daughter of the family

Supposed to marry well

Bring honor to the family

What is love?

There’s no love?

What’s freedom

There’s no freedom

Mulan

Born for the family

For the honor of the family

Only the family

There’s nothing else 

Fight is not her duty

Her duty is 

And only is

Be a good wife

Everyone forgets the truth

Everyone forgets the history

They made happy endings

But do they really forget?

There’s no happy ending in the history

They hide the truth

They make the history light and beautiful

Since then

Who will remember the truth?

Who still remembers what Mulan felt?

The days and nights 

Full with 

The belief of protecting the country

The duty of fight

But the mountain remember

The mountain didn’t forget

It remembered all the enemies killed by Mulan

All the golden arrows with the blood of the enemies

It remembered the greatest female general

Who fights for the country

Who fights for the people

Who fights for the peace 

It remembered Mulan forever

The general

Sitting on the red horse

Using her hand to pull the bow 

Ready for the fight

It’s her duty to fight
