（B） Hua Mulan is a famous Chinese folk . Many students know her from the Chinese ancient poem called Mulan Shi. It tells a story of a brave girl named Hua Mulan who dressed herself up as a man to fight instead of her old father. In 1998, the Disney Picture made a cartoon film Mulan based on the story, and it became a hit all over the world. Since then, Mulan has become one of the most world-famous characters like Cinderella and Aladdin. However, some Chinese cartoon workers are not satisfied with that. They want to produce an animation(动画片) about Mulan themselves. Recently, Jiang Tong Animation Co. Ltd. says that they are making a 52-episode(集) cartoon series named Hua Mulan.

The making of the new cartoon has already started, and the whole series is expected to be finished at the end of 2007. Will it be another hit? Let’s wait and see.
