(and teach your kids to say it!!).Another one is that Hou Yi became a bad person after his fame and glory and Chang’e drank the elixir to save the world from him and ended up floating up to the moon #stillSAD How you can celebrate this year Chang’e protected the elixir by drinking it, but then floated up to the moon and was separated from her husband forever. ![]() After that, the versions differ – one is: Peng Meng, his apprentice heard about the elixir and tried to steal it. There are a lot of versions of the story on wikipedia, but the recurring plot is that Hou Yi saved the world by shooting down 9 of the 10 suns that were destroying the planet and was awarded an immortal elixir. The details are muddy for me, so handy-dandy wikipedia filled in some blanks. Oh, and there was a jade rabbit who lived on the moon and was her friend. The origin story that I know about has 2 main characters: (1) Hou Yi (后羿) who shot down 9 of the 10 suns that were scorching the earth and (2) his wife, Chang’e (嫦娥) who drank an immortal elixir and floated up to the moon.
