Once upon a time in ancient China, there was a brave man called Hou Yi. He shot down nine extra suns that were burning the earth, and saved the people. As a prize, he got a magic medicine that could make people live forever from the Queen Mother of the West.
Hou Yi's wife, Chang'e, was interested in the medicine. One day, when Hou Yi was away, Chang'e couldn't stop herself and drank it. Right away, she found herself getting lighter and floating up. She tried to shout for help, but it was too late. Chang'e flew all the way to the moon and had to stay there by herself.
From then on, on a full moon night, people would look up at the moon, thinking about Chang'e living there alone. Her story has been told from one generation to another, making people dream about the secret moon.

很久以前，在中国古代，有一个叫后羿的勇敢男子，他射下了九个多余的太阳，拯救了人们。作为奖励，他从西王母那里得到了一种可以让人长生不老的仙药。
后羿的妻子嫦娥对这种药很感兴趣。有一天，后羿外出时，嫦娥忍不住喝了仙药。很快，她发现自己变得很轻，飘了起来。她试图呼救，但已经太晚了。嫦娥一路飞到了月球，不得不独自留在那里。
从那时起，在满月的夜晚，人们会仰望月球，思念独自住在那里的嫦娥。她的故事一代又一代地流传下来，让人们对神秘的月球充满了遐想。
