“Once upon a time, Yi, the hero who had shot down nine suns, went to Xiwangmu, the Mother Goddess for the elixir.
“很久以前，射下了9颗太阳的大英雄后羿前往药神西王母那里。
It was said that anyone who ate the elixir could rise to the moon and become the god of the moon.
传说任何吃了长生不老药的人都能飞上月亮成为月宫的主人。
Knowing this, Chang E, Yi’s wife stole this magic medicine and rose onto the moon and became the goddess there.

Yi felt terribly disappointed for losing both his wife and the elixir, because both of them were unique. ”
后羿失去了妻子和丹药后非常失望，因为他们都是独一无二的。”
