The Story of Mulan (English-Chinese Edition): A Painted Hero‘s Journey from Daughter to Genera

The Story of Mulan (English-Chinese Edition): A Painted Hero‘s Journey from Daughter to Genera

She Takes Her Father’s Place in the Army, Fights for Ten Years, and Returns Home a Hero — Retold in Chinese and English, with Oil Paintings and a Bilingual “Song of Mulan” Translated by Xu Yuanchong
This is a picture book about Mulan—the girl who dressed as a soldier, took her father’s place in the army, and fought for ten years without anyone discovering who she really was. The story is told in Chinese and English, and the paintings are oil on canvas: rich, quiet, and full of the mood of ancient China, whether Mulan is riding into battle or sitting at her window, putting her hair back up after the war is over. This edition also includes the original “Song of Mulan” in both languages, with the English translation by Xu Yuanchong, one of China‘s most celebrated literary translators. If you want to meet Mulan through a beautiful painted retelling, in two languages, with the poem that started it all—rather than read a text-heavy history or a plain cartoon version—this is it.
