China's Legendary Female Hero (and it wasn't Mulan)!

[@christopherayesu723]

It's not the same, we need mike and Dan back😓😪😢

[@Kanehiei]

+Chris Likko I feel you. Watching them sort of makes me feel like I'm in grade school. But they just started and it's probably a period of getting adjusted. What made Mike and Dan a good team is that they were different from each other enough and we were able to almost see two points of view in their topics. Right now, I sort of feel like our new hosts are very agreeable and that's slightly less interesting to me. But it takes time to grow into their new surroundings and to each other. So, I'm gonna keep supporting them.

[@TheLongshot1982]

+Chris Likko fellow Spaniard Mike and Dan have their own channel you can check out

[@hnamrz]

Of course it's not the same but we should give the girls a chance and in my opinion they make a good job!

[@TheSaneHatter]

+Chris Likko Quit whining. It's been weeks since they left, and they have their own channel(s) now. Give the girls a break.

[@NTDOffTheGreatWall]

+Hiei Kane Thanks for the support, will do our best to keep bringing great content for you guys!

[@loganwetterling7331]

I'd rather have a movie of her than Mulan, it'd be much more dynamic!

[@Dolida]

Really like historical videos like this. So good to learn history in a entertaining way. If only they taught like this at schools XD Thanks guys.

[@tiaopiak]

+Dolida She is a heroin of literature not a historical figure. She is great and all but not real.

[@Dolida]

+tiaopiak Sorry, I meant loke their other historical videos as well as their cultural ones were we learn stories from their history :)

[@lulutat261]

I like the new hosts! I haven't really kept up with OtGW since Carmen left, but excited for the new change!

[@slimyweasles4973]

0:33 Wow that's pretty impressive! I wish I could move like that.

[@notaroboto2172]

+Slimy Weasles That's a Shen Yun Dancer, THE BEST OF THE BEST!!

[@slimyweasles4973]

She's seriously impressive. I hope I can see a Shen Yun show sometime. They look incredible!

[@bluecupcakefish]

Why did you stop when she was 19?!!!! Of course we want to know more!!!!!

[@NTDOffTheGreatWall]

+bluecupcakefish lol ok!

[@อนรรฆวรรณภาสชัยยง]

+bluecupcakefish the average age before 1700 ( not sure at all) was around 25 - 40 years old.

[@อนรรฆวรรณภาสชัยยง]

+อนรรฆ วรรณภาสชัยยง so before that time it would be even less. not that much of a difference tho in my opinion

[@Txmj122]

The background music is a bit louder than it needs to be

[@bigvic0484]

This is a fun way to learn about Chinese culture. Thanks Mia & Felicia 😃

[@bean890501136297]

Technically Mu GuiYing was in Song dynasty while Mulan was in Sui and Tang dynasty, so chronologically speaking Mulan predates Mu GuiYing as Song dynasty succeeded Sui and Tang dynasty

[@bean890501136297]

Well, Mulan is also a fictional character in a play/opera, and even in fiction, there is a time setting

[@doppen99]

+TimYYO51 mulan was earlier then sui dynasty it was in the North Wei Dynasty(386 A.D~557 A.D)

[@bean890501136297]

My bad, but still tho, the argument further invalidates the timeline given by OTGW

[@annikadalley7397]

+Samuel Wu Cahyono considering the poem was written in the Tang dynasty it wouldn't make sense for her to live much later than that time if she was a real person.

[@RetroWorldOrder1]

I love Asian Women.

[@Just1TBOY]

+Slim The Gamer Me too :)

[@ymb3138]

...it's always these comments that start arguments, but I'm not going to say anything because I don't have time to argue

[@Randomninja47]

Thank you for the history lesson! (Seriously, this is not sarcasm xD) I really did find it interesting :) One suggestion, your voices might need fo be a bit louder. Idk if it's just me. I'm currently watching on my chromecast on my tv and I have to turn it waaaay up. Your body mics could probably be turned up just a tad ^^

[@canineconundrum]

Never even knew about this warrior until now!!! Thanks for the insight you guys!

[@Nilguiri]

2:29 I'd like to see that Heavenly Gay Formation. It must be fabulous!

[@ChaosPod]

+Nilguiri Lol pretty sure it's "Heavenly Gate Formation" at least that's what I heard. :P

[@alexanderjohnson2309]

This channel is awesome.

[@pablononescobar]

background music a little too loud

[@juditkiss9965]

Definitely interested to hear more, it was just a teaser =)

[@xfronwenzyoucamex]

I'd really like to see an episode about Chinese opera.

[@lolidkwhatmynameis6455]

I spit out my tea when Yang Zhong Bao was mentioned, I laughed so hard, do more of this! 穆桂英娶了个男儿回娘家

[@FairladyZ2005]

Nice vid. I want to learn more. What books, movies, and TV shows about her have been dubbed, subbed, or translated into English? I have already seen Legendary Amazons btw. It was good.

[@omaraliomar7617]

whats the name of the background music, me gusta.

[@cecevermillion8907]

I love the Chinese stories! They're always so interesting.

[@idave4900]

What happened to that other Mia? From Asian Beauty Secrets.

[@dianet.6876]

do a video on the empress of China

[@faraway8256]

The girls did great job. It's not easy to anyone to continue someone else left job. Give them support for keeping the OTGW running!

[@jeffward1106]

who are Mike and Dan?

[@jeffward1106]

+Alexander L Tyvm

[@Panda_Roll]

I don't mean to be rude but you guys need help.... the music is loud compared to your soft voices, whoever thought of placing a white background when one of the ladies is wearing starch white should be fired and... well for such an epic tale why is it told so tamely?

[@elliechen9586]

I agree and think the music s a little loud, maybe just turn it down a bit, the white background was probably just a blip, I don't agree with your last statement though, I think they told it perfectly. Overall, I know you didn't mean to be but I think you were a little rude and to OTGW maybe just pay more attention to the little things like how loud the music is or what colour the background is.

[@Panda_Roll]

Carly Clever I'm being honest, I don't blame the ladies they did their best but it was so clear that there was a lack of direction, at one point the sound effects played over their talk and since they were too loud actually over took them *the carriage one* these are legit editing and directing issues that need to be addressed if OTGW wants to keep putting out quality content.

[@xyzigh]

MuGuiYing was from the Northern Song Dynasty approx. 900-1000A.D. while Hua Mulan was from the the Northern Wei Dynasty approx. 300-400 A.D. Although both are fictional characters the difference is that MuGuiYing is based off of the wife of YangWenGuang who in the story is MuGuiYing's son.

[@maythecatbewithyou]

Just Btw.: Mulan wasn't even Chinese, strictly speaking, but Xianbei (a Central Asian, proto-Mongolian people... i. e. closer related to the "huns" she fights in the Disney movie). The story is from the Xianbei Northern Wei dynasty (4th-6th century), and thereby one of the few surviving examples of Chinese literature written by non-Chinese. You may also count the Xianbei as Chinese, in the sense that they were one of the many cultures that shaped today's Chinese culture, of course.

[@colleenz.2477]

Nice topic!

[@zainabmustafa4551]

is there any movies about the history of mu gui ying ? its sounds very intresting .

[@LizFaganBand]

Love the show, Ladies! Subscribed to each of your separate channels. This is a bit gory, but would you consider doing a piece on Chinese foot-binding/lotus feet? Deadly fashion trends, even. It'd be super interesting! Thanks!

[@buzyreading]

Can you recommend a book to read about this heroine?

[@Tsogoh]

Hey, how can Mu Gui Ying be ' hundreds of years before Mu Lan' when she was in Song dynasty???

[@ZaniaNguyenkpopaddictlol]

If it was Dan and Mike 4 hours will have waaay more than just 2k views

[@slimyweasles4973]

"Wow, hectic." Indeed lol :)

[@mistermika1]

music a little to loud but I liked the video

[@NTDOffTheGreatWall]

+Mil Yal will pay more attention to it in our next vid!

[@alejandroespino571]

Off the Great Wall where you guys from?

[@ymb3138]

I've not seen any positive comments yet, whyyy? Felicia and Mia are so funny, obviously Mike and Dan were funny but I like these two too!

[@Sk-ym1uv]

Like these two girls so much

[@Addax07]

thank you for being amazing

[@cindyfransisca3523]

adding some illustrations of the story would be great..

[@sophiedong2391]

I knew it I was hoping they would a a video in my gui ying

[@remcohamersma5483]

Mia is my chinese female hero

[@DarthJF]

"Hundreds of years before Mulan", but Mulan predates Mu Guiying by hundreds of years! There actually is a female general who predates both Mulan and Mu Guiying. Fu Hao from Shang dynasty. Before you mentioned Mu Guiying, I was expecting this video to be about her.

[@elliechen9586]

Mulan is fictional.

[@DarthJF]

So is Mu Guiying. Or at least the version of her told here.

[@tiaopiak]

+DarthJF Mu Guiying is pure fiction but Mulan is based on a story poem that pre-dates Tang Dynasty (Most believed to be of Northen Wei). Whether Mulan is real or not is lost to history.

[@xennelul]

what is the name of the chinese movie you showed?

[@xuhaoliu1100]

+xennelul Legendary Amazons (杨门女将之军令如山)

[@michaelw7867]

+xennelul The name of the movie is "Legendary Amazons." You can see the description here: smile.amazon.com/Legendary-Amazons-Cecilia-Cheung/dp/B008OTTRE4/ref=sr_1_2?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1446094038&sr=1-2&keywords=legendary+amazons .

[@shintsk]

3:12 nice sfx

[@zsarimaxim692]

Mu was fictional. As for ancient female hero, one can start with Fu Hao of the Shang dynasty.

[@theminereaper1897]

mike dan come back 😭😭😭😭

[@karlakirkpatrick8927]

don't let disney find out they will be ruined

[@Junbug92]

Mu Gu Ying would have lived after Mulan not hundreds of years before

[@nancywillaert1111]

You are doing great, it is getting ussed to you girl after Dan and Mike. But hey sometimes something new makes it like tasting a new flavor. I was glad it was both of you and not totaly new faces. Have fun, and please more stories and maybe foodchallences ore tastings?

[@HieuNguyen-tr1pm]

At the age of 19 I already have my first house Houses was cheap back then 😅

[@Crick1952]

Why does Disney not make this?!?

[@elliechen9586]

Because Disney needs perfect pretty useless princesses. (With exceptions.)

[@tiaopiak]

+Crick1952 Mulan traditional are more famous than Mu but recently Mu has gain a lot more popularity.

[@JasonCtutorials]

+Crick1952 RACIST lols. Hollywood no like asians.

[@Yosenku]

plus Mulan didn't even marry the General because he was the 7 or 8 son of the Emperor. So I think Disney should leave this story alone lol

[@chikkachinijohannady]

where's the cute animation like tje rest of your stories :c

[@yasir1161]

reminds me of kung fu panda the lady who had the army

[@Laurence0227]

dude 穆桂英 is ficitonal and Mulan is much earlier I believe refer to 商湯's wife is a better candidate

[@dominicansfuckwithblackhip3542]

I like these girls I don't what is some people bitching about?

[@moose1336]

That was just a story. She is actually Yang Zhongbao's mother... You really should not mix stories with history.

[@leonel57]

It made me laugh when it said it not MULAN

[@vietlee4290]

One day, A great hero will be born in China, A lady who will fight crime with a potato on a string, and her name will be Potato-Lady

Damn, that lady is cool.

[@ragewind9950]

I like Asian beautiful straight black hair

[@silentchevalier]

YEAH!! GO LADY GO!!!!

[@TheLongshot1982]

can you be my hero?

[@KhalidAun1]

Interesting I thought Mulan was the only one.

[@Mark-pf9st]

Wouldn't Mu Gui Ying predate Mulan? Mu Yu Ging was from the Song Dynasty which is hundreds of years after Mulan since Mulan fought the Huns which predates the Mongols and the Turkic Liao dynasty.

[@koolaidisgood9265]

You should make a video about an Asian parent reacting to an f

This channel is just not the same 😤😤😥😥😰😰

[@elliechen9586]

Everyone is complaining about Mia and Felicia replacing Mike and Dan. I think we should give them a chance, it's just a matter of getting into your surroundings. When Dan and Mike announced they were leaving I was like noooooo, but then they announced the new hosts and I'm just like, omg thank you. Of course people miss Mike and Dan but it's not like they were going to be here forever.

[@leonel57]

[@shaa-iqahesbach3249]

first... but IDC😂😂

[@runlibaratheon6294]

Hhahhaha how about Chinese female emperors Wu Ze Tian and Mi Yue 武则天and芈月

[@tiaopiak]

+Runli Baratheon Wu is the only women who took the title Emperor in China. They are many women who rule as Empress Dowager but mostly as regent.

[@runlibaratheon6294]

I did make a mistake there, the name should be 芈八子 mi ba zi. You're right about all that, during Mi's time as an Empress Dowager, we can basically say that she acted and ruled as an Emperor. There is no doubt on her contributions to Qin. She had a larger impact on politics and the dynasty than many other Empress Dowager which is why I would still give her the credit as an Emperor.

[@runlibaratheon6294]

tiaopiak Also when she died, she was buried with full imperial pomp which is meant for Emperors.

[@tiaopiak]

The ruler of Qin at the time has the title of King not Emperor. Even if she was given a King's funeral, but she was not posthumously given the title.

[@runlibaratheon6294]

Which is true but I was just saying that I would still give her the credit.

[@bowie3713]

fiiiiiiirrrrsssssttttt

[@baldchook]

love the content, but, please girls, said it before and saying it again, stop acting cutesy. it's so cringe worthy.

[@Narascha]

srry im unsubscribing, please lose your childish attitude when telling something serious or trying to be funny, when it gets better ill be back, for now ill be at mike and dans channel

[@Dragonsamurai300]

Cool, I had no idea there was another wonderful female warrior in history who did something significant besides Joan of Arch. I wonder how many other female warriors there were over history. :)

[@abhinavkanoria7627]

Ever heard of Razia Sultana and Rani Lakshmibai from India? They were female warriors too...and in charge of an entire kingdom as well!

[@Dragonsamurai300]

Awesome! I may have to look into that. I am fascinated by foreign countries. I love their mythology, food, music and ancient warriors. Just thinking about all the wonderful things in other countries is enough to make my mind run wild with ideas. I get my inspiration for the stories I write from researching interesting things from the various countries around the world. For example one of my most popular story series was inspired by a legend from Greek mythology. It was one of the tales of Hercules. The one with the centaur warrior who helps Hercules.

[@abhinavkanoria7627]

Oh wow! I'm glad to know that you write stories inspired by foreign Cultures....amazing!! Do write a story based in India, on some ancient Indian historical/mythological fact. I'd like to read it too!

[@Dragonsamurai300]

I've thought about that actually. Just not that familiar with India's mythical creatures. If you can help me out I am sure we could work on it together. A little history may help too. I post my stories on Deviant Art and Facebook.
