#make mulan right

[bookriot]

As a Taiwanese American, I grew up watching Disney’s Mulan on rainy school days. The little I knew about the original ballad came from yearly history lessons in Chinese school. Seeing the new live action mangled by Hollywood makes this gap in knowledge hurt that much more.

To fill that gap, I started looking up books on Mulan written by Chinese authors. To start with, there’s the original source material — Mulan: Five Versions of a Classic Chinese Legend. For analysis of Mulan’s cultural impact, I’m planning to check out Lan Dong’s Mulan’s Legend and Legacy in China and the United States.

#MakeMulanRight

Mulan was my favorite Disney princess growing up, not because she had the prettiest hair or the best songs but because she was a badass motherfucker who didn't need no man to save her country. So I swear to God if Disney fucks this up and doesn't give her her own story or tries to whitewash this film there will be hell to pay. They better #MakeMulanRight

It's not a coincidence that my favorite Disney movies are Mulan and Lilo & Stitch.

If Disney fucks up Mulan and casts a bunch of white actors to play Chinese people, I refuse to go see the movie. I will boycott it so hard.

If you had asked me what I would think 2016 would be like a decade ago, I would’ve said that we’d having flying cars, teleportation and maybe world peace. But alas, none of that is true…
