As a reward, he was given the elixir of immortality.

However, tragedy struck when Chang'e inadvertently consumed the elixir and floated up to the moon, forever separated from her beloved husband. To be close to her, Houyi constructed a palace on the sun and celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival, offering fruits and cakes to his wife on the moon. This touching legend is often re-enacted and retold during the festival. Wishing everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 2023!
