He was Hou Yi. One day, the queen mother gave Hou Yi a package of immortal medicine. Because the descendants were reluctant to give up their wife, Chang'e, they put the medicine in their wife's custody. Later, the thieves knew that they forced Chang when Hou Yi was not at home E gave him the immortal medicine. Chang e couldn't help it, so she took the medicine and flew it up to the moon. At last, in order to commemorate Chang E, we worship the moon on the day of Mid Autumn Festival.
