Low Intermediate | Mid-autumn festival story with Comprehensible input & TPRS | clear slow Chinese
Why Chinese people eat mooncakes at the Mid-Autumn Festival, in the teacher's own version of the legend. Hou Yi shoots down nine of the ten suns. Chang'e swallows the elixir so the villain Peng Meng can't take it, and floats up to the moon. Hou Yi then makes mooncakes so he can see her there.
