Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for (century). There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang'e is most touching. It tells after. Hou Yi shot down the (nine) suns, a goddess gave him magic medicine to thank him. Hou Yi planned (drink)it with his wife, Chang'e. But a bad man Pang Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was out. Chang'e wasn't ready give it to him and then drank it all. She became very light and (fly) up to the moon. Hou Yi was sad and missed her very much. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favourite fruits and desserts in the garden. (how) he wished that she could come back!
After this, people started the (traditional) of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes that carry (they)wishes to the families they love and miss.
