Chang'e Flew Up to the Moon
Once upon a time, there lived a strong young man Hou Yi and his beautiful wife Chang'e. Hou Yi was the best archer(弓箭手)at that time. There were ten suns in the sky one day. The weather became so hot and dry that no food could grow and many people died.
Scene One
When seeing this, Hou Yi decided to save the people. At the top of the mountain, he shot down nine suns, leaving only one in the sky.
Scene Two
After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, everything began to grow on the earth. People were very thankful to Hou Yi. A goddess on Mount Kunlun gave him some magic medicine to thank him. Whoever took it could live forever.
Scene Three
Hou Yi returned home with the magic medicine and he wanted to share it with Chang'e. He gave the medicine to Chang'e and she kept it in a box. They planned to take it a few days later.
Scene Four
A bad man, Pang Meng, heard about the magic medicine and wanted to steal it. When Chang'e was alone at home, he came to their house and asked Chang'e for it. Chang'e refused to give it to him and took it all. Then she became very light and flew up to the moon.
Scene Five
After Hou Yi got home, he couldn't find Chang'e anywhere.

He was very worried and searched everywhere in the house. Suddenly, he saw the open box where the magic medicine had been kept. He realized what had happened. Then he ran outside and looked up at the sky. There he saw Chang'e standing on the moon, looking down at him sadly. Hou Yi called out her name again and again, but she couldn't come back. Every night after that, Hou Yi would look at the moon, missing Chang'e deeply. People later heard about the story and began to admire Chang'e for her bravery and love for Hou Yi. They would offer mooncakes and fruits to her during the Mid-Autumn Festival to show their respect.
