I should not be crying over my coffee, but here we are.
What a beautiful story. My parents both had an affinity for the moon (and strangely, so do I). Every full moon since my father passed in 2021, my mom would say, look at your father's moon. She passed just over a month ago and after reading this story, I can't help but think my parents are these two legends. I will Google mooncakes and celebrate mom and dad on the 17th. ❤️
And they ARE these two legends. The Yi and Chang'e story represents many things in the Chinese culture: romantic love and fidelity as the two loved each other very much; the praise of the ultimate sacrifice for each other; a celebration of the full moon and unity of a family; and of course, a longing for the immortal love story!
