Chang'e 's Ascent To The Moon


Once upon a time,there were 10 suns in the sky.They were sons of the emperor of Heaven.Each day,one of them came out to light up the world.But one day,those naughty suns came out together so that killed many many kinds of creatures.A god of archery,whose name was Yi,came to shoot 9 of those suns.He solved a big problem for humans but killed 9 sons of the emperor.As a punishment,Yi and his beautiful wife Chang'e were sent to the earth to live as normal people.
Although Yi cared little about being banished from Heaven, Chang'e couldn't bear the fact that she would one day die and become nothing. Searching for a way to regain their immortality, Yi traveled to the palace of Xi Wang Mu, the Queen Mother of the West, on Kunlun Mountain, seeking her elixir of immortality.The Queen was moved by the braveness of Yi,and gave him two elixir. Yi was told that one elixir could make a person live forever and two could send one back to Heaven.Yi planned to spend them on himself and his wife.
When Houyi returned to his home, he told his wife about this.In her boredom, Chang'e found the elixirs that her husband had left behind, and out of curiosity drank them both. At this momment, Yi returned and to his surprise found his wife ascending to the moon. Houyi heard his wife's cry for help, tried to seize her but she was already beyond his reach. Chang'e would gain immortality and forever live alone on the moon with only white hares accompanying her.
