Features: Ao Youxiang reinterprets the folk legend of Mulan, rekindling a new chapter from tradition. He transforms the thin and one-dimensional Mulan into a vivid and lifelike character, turning the Mulan who evokes sighs of regret into one who brings laughter, bringing the Mulan hidden in ancient manuscripts onto the comedy stage, making the ancient Mulan into a postmodern Mulan, and the legendary Mulan into the Mulan of the Wulong Yuan. He gives a new life to the traditional national heroine Mulan and new depth to the humor of the Wulong Yuan series. Hua Hua Mulan not only portrays the heroic spirit of the ancient legendary female hero Mulan, "traversing thousands of miles to join the army, crossing mountain passes as if flying," but also incorporates many popular characters from the Wulong Yuan series, sparking countless laughs. This work continues Ao Youxiang's signature unique comedic style, making it both entertaining and enjoyable. The humor in Ao Youxiang's comics gradually unfolds in the story, making the laughter meaningful and unexpected. Although the work is in the form of fast-paced four-panel comics, the overall narrative remains very clear. Big stories derive from small stories, and small stories unfold the big stories.
