she went to war in her father's place because he was wounded in another war and she thought he would die so she took matters into her own hands and joined the war disguised as a man and defeated the huns. women were not allowed to disguise as men and join the army and if they were disovered they would be killed. she failed with the matchmaker so that is another reason why she went to war for her father. she was discovered as a women but was not killed because she saved all of China and fought in the war for 12 years.there are many movies and musicals including "mulan jr." which is a musical i am in. i am not 100% sure everything i wrote is true but i am pretty sure i am close :)

Fa Mulan is Chinese .
There were many things that Mulan did that was considered heroic. Mulan fought for her country in place of her father.
The difference between the original legend and Disney's adaptation of the legend are:In the original legend, her name is Hua Mulan. In the Disney film, Mulan's full name is Fa Mulan. Fa is Cantonese while Hua is Chinese.In the original legend, Mulan has a brother who is too young to be enlisted into the army while in the Disney film, Mulan's brother is not featured.In the original Mulan legend, Mulan uses her father's name Li, and she was never discovered as a female, unlike in the film.The original legend states Hau Mulan fought in the Chinese army for 12 years. It was unlikely she fought that long in the film as she still appears young.
Mulan is from China, probably Beijing since that's where the emperor lives, and they go there in the movie.
Oui (Yes in French), she is real, but she lived a long time ago, in 406 A.D. This website http://www.womenofchina.cn/Profiles/Women_in_History/4749.jsp tells of two or three different Mulan's in the same era-Hua Mulan, and Zhao Mulan (I forget Mulan's surname (the third one-if there if one). Hope this helps!
