The video narrates the legend of the Mid-Autumn Festival, focusing on Hou Yi, who saves the world by shooting down nine suns. He marries Chang'e and receives immortality pills from the Queen Mother. Chang'e swallows the pills to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands and ascends to the moon, becoming a goddess. Hou Yi, in his grief, offers her favorite foods as a tribute, which inspires the tradition of the Mid-Autumn Festival, where people offer mooncakes and fruits to honor Chang'e.
