Do you often watch the moon in the evening? What does it look like? According to Chinese old myth, it looks like a beautiful goddess under a big tree in the moon.She was Chang e, the wife of Hou Yi. Hou Yi was a hero who saved people through shooting the extra eight Suns by arrows. Hence, the emperor in the sky rewarded him a magic medicine. If one took the medicine ,he would fly up into the sky and turn into a fairy. But one day, one of Hou Yi's students suddenly shot him by an arrow. Then, he robbed into Hou Yi's home and wanted to grab the medicine. Urgently, Chang e had to take it. Later,she became the goddess of moon and lived in the moon palace. That is the myth of Chang e .

One day, when Houyi was out, Chang'e secretly swallowed the potion in the hope that she would become immortal. The result was quite unexpected: she felt herself becoming light, so light that she flew up in spite of herself, drifting and floating in the air, until she reached the palace of the moon.She is regarded by later generations as the goddess of the moon.This beautiful story has always been liked by the Chinese and provides a favourite allusion for poets and writers.Chairman Mao Zedong's poem in memory of his martyred wife Yang Kaihui has these well - known lines:The lonely moon goddess spreads her ample sleevesTo dance for these loyal souls in infinite space.Here, in the Chinese original, the name Chang'e is used instead of "moon goddess".The figure of Chang'e, a beauty dressed in the elegant garments of a bygone age floating towards the moon, naturally supplies unending inspiration for painters and sculptors.

national heros always have marvellous reputations, after died miserablly. they died by a lot of reasons. some were killed because their emperors were too?afraid of the powers they had, some because their enemies bribed to the nation traitors, often who have had a great wealth or?a powerful authority. this is a nation that is like producing traitors overwhelmingly every time on a very dangerious situation, and quite often, heros are mistakenly treated as traitors but peple who really betrayed the fate of this nation, because of their ruling powers, are seen as the savior. i shall admit there are some implication as a clue of history, to mirror what will happen repetitiously over and over again. heros are respectable, famous, and admired. without them, this nation should have gone through more sufferrings. they deserve what they own. however, tracking of our shameless history ,what to be noted is that ?noboy else but ourselves torture our heros, mistreated thier beloved, and even eradicated the origins of theirs. although hundreds of years later, they gained back their reputations, and if lucky, maybe they could get some statues, biographies or whatever else, one truth can't be denied. they were put in an extremely painful life, and so were their families and friends, for what these heros contributed to our nation's future, and what they devoted their lives to protect. what can be concluded from it? if there r some potential heros around u, stay away from him or her, coz though we know we must show our respect to them, they are most likely to be a tragedy, which also causes people care about them to pay for the price. it's ironical, isn't it? this nation never stops calling for more heros desperately,in a name of protecting its people, but what i'm more interested in is, what the people do to the heros, when they are alive? if heros are the role models of most people of this nation, then how come heros are still so needed by us, especially when we shout out, justicely and loudly, that there must be someone else standing out to be heros. and if they don't wanna be heros, they gotta think about the outcomes that the entire nation curses them as wusses, humiliating them afterwards. but curiously, next time they'll still ask for someone else again to sacrifice their lives to defend the benefits of the nation( or the benefits of some). why don't u be then? or at least, why don't u, the nation people, protect the heros when they need u. when the emperors threaten ur heros, why didn't u overthrow the empire, instead u gave in the throne?when you know who betrayed the nation to sell off ur heros, just because of their powers, u gave in again? the truth is, this nation grants the greatest hornor to heros, when it needs them. once heros lost their auras, or the public has to pay, heros begin sufferring. and what is hidden in the heart of most of people is, they want the rest to pursue the hornor of being a hero, but they themselves are more addicted into another thing---power. such people deem themselves 'wiser'. we are saying this nation is great, sorry, it's a no. most of great genes of this nation have been eliminated by oursleves, in three thousand years' grand history, dynasty after dynastry, one generation after one.
