Fa Mulan (è±æ¨è­) is the main protagonist of Disney's 1998 animated feature film of the same name and its 2004 direct-to-video sequel. She is inspired by the legendary Hua Mulan from the Chinese poem The Ballad of Mulan. Her speaking voice is provided by Ming-Na Wen while her singing voice is provided by Lea Salonga.
Mulan is the heroine of a famous Chinese poem written during the Northern Dynasties (AD 420-589). Although Mulan may have never existed, the events described in The Song of Mulan were very real. Her story is set against the background of a series of historic battles fought between the Chinese and their fierce enemies the Tartars or Taters, who lived north of China in what are now Manchuria and Mongolia.
