So why... did we celebrate Mooncake Festival??
the answer....... *drumroll pls, kel*.. hahaha
TADAAA~~~!!!
The classic tale of Chang-Er, the beautiful moon goddess, is associated with the Mooncake Festival. Pictures of her in a flowy gown floating to the moon commonly adorn mooncake boxes.
Folklore has it that she was married to the divine archer Hou Yi, who shot nine out of 10 suns that were causing havoc. For his deed, the Queen Mother of the West gave him the elixir of life. Chang-Er stole her husband's potion of immortality, drank it and found herself floating to the moon. There she lives out her days in the cold lonely moon palace with a furry rabbit for companion.
So sad... *sniff sniff*
Mr Smith - pass me the tissue(salt, i think) pls...
Mrs Smith - it's in the middle of the table.
LOL (lame bah~)
