00:00 The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion for people on Earth.
00:27 Chang'e gazes towards Earth, watching from afar as homes light up and families reunite.
00:34 On this special night, she remembers her joyful days with Houyi on Earth.
00:41 In ancient times, there once were ten suns in the sky, taking turns to bring light and
00:46 warmth to the Earth.
00:49 But one fateful day, all ten suns rose at the same time, causing scorching heat and
00:53 great suffering.
01:01 I shall shoot down these nine suns to save the lives on Earth.
01:06 Houyi, be careful.
01:09 [MUSIC]
01:19 Houyi, I will stand by you to bring hope and warmth to the world.
01:45 Houyi's heroic act earned him an elixir of immortality, which grants eternal life
01:52 and the chance to ascend to divinity.
01:55 Yet Houyi wished not to part with his wife, but chose to live a mortal life alongside
02:00 her.
02:01 I will guard the elixir well and never let it fall into the wrong hands.
02:09 The next day, Houyi went out with his disciples, but one of them, Pangmeng, feigned illness
02:14 and stayed behind.
02:15 At night, Pangmeng broke into Houyi's house and forced Chang'e to give him the elixir.
02:20 Hand over the elixir now.
02:22 No, I promised Houyi I cannot give it to you.
02:26 Enough talk.
02:27 If you resist, I will shoot down the last sun and doom the world to eternal darkness.
02:34 I cannot allow this evil person to live forever and wreak havoc on Earth.
02:38 To prevent the elixir from falling into Pangmeng's hands, Chang'e, with tears in her eyes,
02:43 swallowed it.
02:44 I'm sorry, Houyi.
02:48 As the elixir took effect, her body gradually became light and started floating.
02:54 She flew towards the moon, merging with the moonlight.
03:00 May my loved ones on Earth be blessed and reunited.
03:04 Since then, Houyi and Chang'e were separated forever.
03:08 Their story was told and passed down through generations.
03:13 As time passed, she, alone in the Moon Palace, missed Houyi and kept an eye on what happened
03:20 on Earth.
03:22 One day, an unexpected visitor arrived.
03:24 Who are you?
03:27 How do you fly to the moon?
03:29 I am Chang'e 5 Probe, a messenger from Earth.
03:33 My name is a tribute to you, carrying with it the dreams and courage of humanity's exploration
03:38 of the universe.
03:40 Your presence reminds me of my days with Houyi.
03:43 At that time, we were just as brave and fearless.
03:47 Seeing mankind's wisdom and courage, and feeling the warmth and care from Earth, she felt a
03:53 glimmer of hope.
03:55 Chang'e 5 Probe, please carry my blessings and longing back to Earth.
04:01 We miss you very much.
04:02 For millennia, we have never ceased to unravel the mysteries of the moon and the universe.
04:07 With Chang'e's blessings, the Chang'e 5 Probe heralded new breakthroughs in human lunar exploration.
04:24 From then on, she is no longer lonely nor sorrowful in the Moon Palace.
04:29 She looks towards Earth, eagerly awaiting humanity's arrival.
04:32 I will always be here, watching over humanity to forge new legends.
