Why is this called Warrior Women: Mulan? I get that the Disney movie is kind of based on her, but otherwise there's no relevance. Why not call it Warrior Women: Wang Cong'er? That's what this episode is (deservedly) about.

[XenaChi]

@TheNerdyCanuck Basically because most people don't know who Wang Cong'er is, but pretty much everyone knows Mulan thanks to Disney and movies, so it would generate more viewers with that title.

they really dont know if mulan was real or not.

they found a poem with her in it but dont have enough evidence that tells if she was real or not.

[AmericanWarrior1776]

This women went from zero to hero.

[BethieBlood]

@strongbadassman they never really found out if they did. All they found was documents/ poems mentioning her. So she's basically only a legend

[LadyFlameSniper]

Where can I purchase this show. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Sigh....

[strongbadassman]

I heard Mulan was a fairytale and not real history, there's no prove she ever even existed. .

[Dawnlighter]

God, I adore Lucy Lawless. Though I never liked the ''Xena'' series, she shines really in fighting roles. ^^

[GoodGirlGoneBad1700]

[defiantwon33]

@socal1982

damn skippy. (that means "yes")

[socal1982]

@defiantwon33 There is more to "martial arts" than just fighting, right?

[BensonChu24]

Let's get down to business, to defeat the Huns!

[Amzezk]

Dammit Disney fucked up another great story once again.

[defiantwon33]

what the young woman says regarding martial arts at the end is very true. being an american living in asia, i can see how deep the contrasts are between the asian and american conceptualizations of what the martial arts are and should be.

@hihipuffycutiegirl

but a poem in china can be extensively long

[MsLiew1901]

@vk45de Well, actually they did do that so that she marries into a rich family. So unless she was a foreigner or a Manchu, she would probably have bound feet. But maybe she got her mum to skip it.

[vk45de]

@MsLiew1901 Well, I not all chinese had bound feet - farmer families probably can't afford to do that. And boobs... what boobs? :D

[TheIronFey]

@AmericanWarrior1776 two different disney movies there XD

[SaveChinaTiger]

Mulan was based on a possible female warrior in the Northern Wei dynasty which was 1500 years ago

[jephboy]

And to confirm what I said, Qin Liangyu lead defense of the Ming dynasty against the Jurchens, a northern nomadic tribe (they founded the Jin dynasty, and later their descendents renamed themselves Manchu and founded the Ch'ing/Qing dynasty --- China's last dynasty).

She was given the title 太子太保, which was very high and translates into "Crown Prince Grand Guardian", or basically Grand Guardian of the Crown Prince. Think about it... a woman who rose to this rank and protected the crown prince!

[jephboy]

@hihipuffycutiegirl

Mulan may or may not have been real, but Qin Liangyu was real and she was one of the highest ranking female generals in Chinese history. She was a Hmong/Miao and is still revered today in China by Chinese and Hmong alike, at least for those in the know. Google her name...

[jean3tte]

@hihipuffycutiegirl that'd be so cool if she was real though.=Di think she was pretty amazing.
