I don't know how many days and nights I have traveled, how many good horses I have exhausted in the camp, and how many heroes who died heroically were buried in the sudden snowstorm. After crossing the towering snow-capped mountains and towering peaks, she finally came to the front line. Looking at the menacing enemy and the whiteness stained with the blood of her compatriots, Mulan's heart was cold.
She suddenly understood the cruelty of the battlefield, which is inhuman plunder: you can only draw a sword to attack the enemy and let warm blood spray on you, but you can't be soft-hearted, let alone reach out and wipe it. This is war!
Mulan was mixed in the procession, stepping on the bodies of comrades-in-arms and enemies, and she knew that taking a step back was a bottomless abyss. Every time, she was lucky enough to survive, but the cold blade left ugly scars on her delicate daughter, and also carved tenacity and ice in her heart.
She can't sleep every night. When she closes her eyes, a blood-red wave drowns her. Every time she screamed and got up, the cold north wind was mixed with the sound of playing overtime. The cold pale moonlight shone on the soldiers' heavy armor and bloody blades, reflecting Mulan's pale and emaciated face.
The nightmare lasted for more than ten years, and many soldiers died on the battlefield. It was many years before the soldiers returned to their hometown. For more than ten years, how many beautiful youth are fleeting and how many memories are different. My parents, do you remember lamenting Mu Zhi's daughter Mulan's unfilial behavior?

There are some words in the poem, such as "Farewell to the Yellow River, Go to Montenegro at dusk" and "Listen to the hustle and bustle of Yanshan Mountain". Killing Tiger Mountain in Montenegro is in the southeast of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, not far from the Yellow River.
Yanshan Mountain refers to Yanran Mountain, that is, today's Mongolians and the State Bank of Ai Shan. Accordingly, the war in Mulan's poems happened between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran. Rouran is a nomadic country in the north. During the period of 158 (394-552), it fought many wars with Northern Wei, Eastern Wei and Northern Qi.

("Northern History, Biography of Creeping", crawling is soft. )
