Mulan, Mulan, where are you?

Good morning, my child. The sun is up. The sky is blue. There is much to do!
Work to do, but I smile too!
Act 2
The Growing Mulan
Hua Mulan is the only daughter of the Hua family. She is smart and kind. She can do many things, but she is not a regular girl. Her parents love her, but they worry about her too. Since she was eighteen, her parents asked a matchmaker to find her a good match.

Ready to Marry
Mother dressed Mulan up and made her wear clothes to meet the matchmaker.
I’m the best matchmaker! I can find a good home for you, but remember to thank me!
Mulan is now in your hands. Please make sure you find her a good family. You will get a big red envelope in return.
Haha! No problem, leave it to me.
Mulan and the matchmaker were chatting and drinking tea. But look! An insect jumped here and there! Oh no! It was a big mess! The matchmaker was very angry.
Mulan came back to home unhappily because she couldn’t show her true self.
Mulan, don’t worry. You’re so perfect! You will have many more chances.
After hearing father’s words, Mulan stopped crying and started laughing.

I love my family. I will go.

Training in the Camp
The army has only men, so Mulan cut her hair, put on the armor, and changed her name to Hua Ping. Only Mushu knows the truth.
Train together! Stand together!
A strong body. A strong mind. What do you train?
Now try the bow! Be careful… but be brave!
The bow is for the brave and our home.
