It talks about a young lady (Zhu Yingtai) disgusied herself as a gentleman so that she could attend school, where she developed a romantic relationshio with one of her classmates(Liang Shanbo). Now some people (even scholars) suggested that this story was about a gay relationship that has been revised as a straight one. <br />PS: I really like your posts and admire your productivity.

Among those early ‘90s Disney films, like "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", and "The Lion King", no film could ever take the place of Mulan. Can you imagine? It made $304 million worldwide! Not to mention, the film also won a number of Annie Awards, including the "Best Animated Feature" award.Neil Poirerhttp://bfbooks.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-21600705259284439122012-01-30T15:28:34.235-05:002012-01-30T15:28:34.235-05:00Joe: In the West we see the Mulan story focused m...Joe: In the West we see the Mulan story focused more on the sexual undertones -- a gal who lived as a man. In the Far East the story is a famous example of her devotion to her parents and honoring her family's name. That same concern for family is cited why few chinese GLBT come out and instead have fake marriages for social acceptance reasons.fan of caseynoreply@blogger.com
