In Mulan's poem, the famous sentence that explains the protracted war and fierce and tragic fighting is: A general dies in hundreds of battles, and a strong man returns in ten years.

antithesis and intertextuality are used, which can show the protracted war and the fierce and tragic war more succinctly.

It's from a folk song Mulan Poem of the Northern Dynasties, and Guo Maoqian's Yuefu Poem Collection of Song Dynasty is included in the Cross-Blowing Songs.

The excerpt is as follows: Wan Li went to Rongji, and it was like flying through the mountains. The new moon's breath transmits gold, and the cold light illuminates iron clothes. A general dies in many battles, but a strong man returns in ten years.

The translation is as follows:

Not far away, Wan Li went to the battlefield and climbed mountains as fast as flying. The sound of beating came from the cold in the north, and the moonlight reflected the armor of the soldiers. Soldiers have fought many battles, some died for their country, and some fought for many years and returned victorious.

Extended information:

Mulan Poetry is a rare masterpiece in the history of China's poetry. It is the first time that an immortal heroine who joined the army for her father is portrayed in the poem, which is both legendary and touching. Mulan is both a strange girl and an ordinary person, a heroine and a common girl, a vigorous warrior and a beautiful daughter. She is hardworking, kind, determined and brave, honest, simple, alert and lively, loves her relatives and serves the country, and loves a peaceful life without admiring high officials and generous salaries.

Mulan has the heroic character and feminine characteristics perfectly. Good-natured, brave, calm, witty and persevering are the necessary connotations of Mulan's heroic character, and her infinite love and dedication to her parents and the motherland are the greatest spiritual source of her heroic character. At the same time, the whole poem is closely related to "Mulan is a girl", from "I don't know how to call a female voice" to "Mulan doesn't need to be a scholar", from "Mulan works as a housemaid" to "I wear my old clothes", and it has always been a female feature.

Therefore, the image of Mulan is very real and touching. Mulan Poetry creates a comic spirit with China style, and its characteristics are the integration of traditional moral spirit, optimism and sense of humor of China people.

This comic spirit with China style is quite different from that of western comedies characterized by satire. Mulan Poem fully embodies the natural specialty of China folk songs, and the outstanding application of arrangement, exaggeration, image sound and suspense has an excellent effect on rendering the atmosphere and portraying the character.
