What is your favorite fairytale and who is a fairytale character in your own life? / ¿Cuál es tu cuento favorito y quién es un personaje de cuento en tu propia vida
Mi cuento favorito es Mulan
My favorite story is Mulan
The main character is mulam, a young only daughter of Fa Zhou, a former soldier. The Chinese army has waged a war against the Huns, so the emperor requests that one man from each family go to fight in the war. In Mulan's family, the only man is her father, therefore, he will be the one who must serve China. Mulan objects to this decision because she knows that due to her health, her father will not survive. Mulan decides to pretend to be a man, she will run away from home and join the army
One of the most important messages is that, despite being a woman dressed as a man; she in the end she achieves the same goals and challenges of a warrior. Something that little by little society has fought for it; equality between men and women
The story character is my mom is one of my greatest examples because despite the loss of my dad, his best friend and right hand man, he managed to get back on his feet, for me and my sister. My mother is always accompanying us giving us her love and teaching us that life always has difficult moments, but from these you can learn and become stronger. Today we are more united than ever supporting each other, and always trying to see the positive side of all.
