After defeating the evil army, Mulan was a 

celebrated hero all across China. People held 

parties and festivals in Mulan’s honour.

However, Mulan was not happy...

After the battle had ended, females were still 

not allowed to join the army. And now that 

everyone knew that Mulan was born female, 

she was not allowed to fight.

Even Li Shang, Mulan’s army friend, 

thought Mulan should not fight and 

should “dress like a girl.” 

This made Mulan very unhappy.

Mulan did not feel comfortable wearing

 what everyone called "girl's clothes" and

 playing with "girl's toys."

Mulan did not feel like herself. It all felt wrong.

 She always felt kind of "wrong."

Although Mulan was born in a female body,

 she always felt like a boy on the inside. 

It was not until she joined the army that 

she felt like she could be herself.

So Mulan had an idea...

Mulan put her battle armour back on 

and insisted that she only be addressed as “Ping”, 

the name she used as a boy soldier. 

Ping would also like us to stop calling him a “she”.

Li Shang was a bit confused at first,

 but saw that Mulan was happier as Ping,

 and no longer referred to Ping as a girl.

The other soldiers remembered Ping’s

bravery in the war and were happy to 

have their most celebrated soldier back. 

Ping was very happy. 

Ping led the army to many glorious victories 

and stories about "Ping the Warrior" began

 to spread.

But the story of Mulan was still popular all over China.

 Eventually, it reached a young girl named Meiling. 

Meiling was inspired by the story of a girl joining 

the army and wanted to join too.

She dressed as a warrior and travelled 

to meet the legendary Mulan.

When Meiling arrived, she was 

greeted by Ping and Li Shang. 

Meiling told the boys that she wanted 

to join the army, just like the hero Mulan!

Ping was excited to meet another person like him:

 born a female on the outside, but on the inside

 was really a boy. 

“So you are a boy, too?” asked Ping. 

“No, I am a girl,” replied Meiling. “I just want

 to join the army and fight.” 

“Oh, well, only boys can join the army,” 

said a disappointed Ping.
