Learn Chinese with Disney's Mulan. Speak Mandarin Chinese authentically — HSK Listening
Those familiar with the story of Mulan will know that although she encountered various difficulties in the army, she never gave up; even when her companions discovered she was a girl. After watching Disney's retelling of the story most people are left with a deep respect for Mulan. However, truthfully Mulan is only one heroine, from the many (both real and fictional) who have defended and shaped China throughout its long history. Why then is Mulan's story so popular and enduring, and what are the key reasons why Mulan's story continues to be passed down from generation to generation in China?
By watching this video we will help to explain the story's popularity based on its strong focus on exploring traditional Chinese moral and cultural concepts. For example the interplay between the nation and the individual, the individual and the team, the old and the young and the role of women in society. These ideas and concepts are at the heart of Chinese social and family ethics.
However this video is not just about cultural instruction, it will help you quickly, and practically, improve the authenticity and fluency of your spoken Mandarin. So let's listen to the dialogue between Mulan and Mushu as we learn to use vivid and emotional expressions, idioms and the precise use of language/vocabulary to express our true feelings.

    There is no such thing as speaking Chinese. You can say speak Manderine, Cantonese, Fujain or Mongolian or Uyghurs or whatever. It is like saying, people speak in Americano in USA. Americans don't mind if the language they speak refers to another country "English". That's the truth.

    The video contains several inaccuracies. Firstly, Mulan was of Turkic origin and therefore would not have spoken any Sinitic languages. Secondly, during Mulan's time, simplified communist characters did not exist. Therefore, even if Mulan spoke and wrote in sinograms, she would not have used this type of incorrect script. During the time of Mulan, people in Northern Asia spoke Middle Chinese rather than Modern Mandarin.
