Title 木蘭奇女傳
Alternate Title Mulan qi nü zhuan
Summary "木蘭奇女傳" by Anonymous is a historical fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the central character, Zhu Ruoxu, a young woman of great filial piety and wisdom, who disguises herself as a man to take her father's place in the army during a time of war, thereby embodying the values of loyalty and bravery. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Zhu Ruoxu's family background and sets the stage for her remarkable journey. It outlines her father's character, his devotion to family, and his humble beginnings, illustrating the importance of filial duties within their society. The text presents the characters' aspirations and familial concerns, as well as Zhu Ruoxu's determination to uphold her family's honor by stepping into her father's role when he is unable, ultimately leading to her transformation and the trials she will face in the military. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at themes of honor, sacrifice, and the interplay of gender roles in a patriarchal society, creating a compelling start to her extraordinary story.
