The most
resentful woman in the world
Agudengba
told his friend Azhuo the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun, and then talked
about the breakdown of Chang'e and Hou Yi's marriage.
After
Chang'e married Hou Yi, she originally wanted to enjoy a lifetime of glory and
wealth with him. Unexpectedly, Hou Yi actually shot nine suns in the name of
serving the people. Those were the nine sons of the Emperor of Heaven. As a
result, Hou Yi lost the favor of the Emperor of Heaven and was demoted to the
human world. He also drove her out of the Heavenly Palace. Chang'e spread her
unhappiness on Hou Yi every day.
Hou
Yi knew that Chang'e had never suffered any grievances since she was a child,
but now that she was being implicated by him and was demoted from the heavenly
palace, he felt a little sorry for her. No matter how much Chang'e complained,
he didn't care and tried to comfort her as much as possible.
Unexpectedly,
Chang'e's temper became worse and worse, and she scolded Hou Yi: "The
Emperor of Heaven thinks highly of you and makes you a Heavenly Official. You
don't understand the Emperor of Heaven's wishes. You try your best and are
demoted from Heaven. Even I will suffer with you!"
Hou
Yi carefully explained to her: "It's not that I mean to show off, it's
actually them who are hurting the people. How can I see people suffering and
ignore it? Besides..." Before Hou Yi could say anything else, Chang'e
cried again. He shouted again and started to have a big quarrel with Hou Yi.
Hou
Yi was demoted after doing harm to the people, and was already very melancholy.
Chang'e complained about him every day, and she felt extremely depressed.
Fortunately, he was open-minded and didn't want to sit around at home, so he
put on his bow, mounted his horse, and went hunting in the mountains and
forests every day. He often temporarily forgets his unhappiness by fighting
with wild animals.
But
Chang'e sat at home and cried and lost her temper every day. Hou Yi came back
to comfort her, but she just lost her temper and complained about her
grievances. Hou Yi said: "Although our current life is not as good as the
Heavenly Palace, it is not bad. You see, in order to take care of us, the
people give us vegetables and fruits that they are reluctant to eat."
Chang'e
frowned and said: "What's the use of the people being nice to us? If we
lose the favor of the Emperor of Heaven and can never return to the Heavenly
Palace, isn't it all over?"
"There
is both suffering and happiness here. Isn't it good to be with the
people?"
"What
a good thing! In the human world, you will grow old in a few years. People have
lost their youth and beauty. What's the point?"
"We
can do something to help the people here, which is better than sitting idle in
the palace. What's so scary about being old!"
"You're
not afraid, I'm still afraid! If you have the ability, just think of a way to
live forever!"
In
this way, Chang'e was like a resentful woman, nagging in Hou Yi's ears every
day, and Hou Yi was really tired of listening to her.
That
day, when Hou Yi came back from hunting, Chang'e babbled for a while and said:
"I remembered it. When I was in the Heavenly Palace, I heard that the
Queen Mother of the West would prepare the elixir of longevity. Please go and
beg her to get some doses."
"Where
is the Queen Mother of the West?" Hou Yi asked absently.
"In
Kunlun Mountain, even though it's far away, it won't take much trouble for you
to make a trip for this matter."
"Well,
since the Queen Mother of the West has such elixir, I will get some for you to
eat tomorrow."
Chang'e
was happy. On this day, apart from repeatedly urging Hou Yi to leave early, she
said no other complaints.
Kunlun
Mountain is a large mountain in the west. According to legend, it was the
imperial capital of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, and the Queen Mother of the
West also lived here. There is deep weak water surrounding Kunlun Mountain. The
weak water is so deep that even a feather dropped into the water will sink to
the bottom, and a manned ship cannot float on the water. There are volcanoes
surrounding Weishui, and the fire on the volcano never stops day and night. No
matter what it is, when it comes into contact with this fire, it will
immediately turn into ashes. Although the Queen Mother of the West has the elixir
of immortality, because ordinary people cannot get in, no one has ever obtained
this medicine. The scenery of Kunlun Mountain is beautiful, the climate is
suitable, and it is warm as spring all year round. The dwarf green trees on the
mountain are evergreen all year round, and various bright flowers bloom all
over the mountain. The birds in the forest are singing very sweetly.
Hou
Yi came to the foot of the mountain, relied on his supernatural power and
unyielding will, overcame many difficulties, and finally passed the siege of
water and fire, climbed to the top of the mountain, entered the palace gate of
the Queen Mother of the West, and met the Queen Mother of the West.
The
Queen Mother of the West is gorgeously dressed and has three bluebirds flying
around. The Queen Mother of the West had long heard that Hou Yi had done great
harm to the world. She admired his bravery and dedication and expressed
sympathy for his misfortune. When she learned of Hou Yi's intention, she took
out a packet of medicine and said: " This medicine is made from the fruit
picked from the immortal tree and refined. The immortal tree blooms once every three
thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and matures only
after three thousand years. This fruit is very rare, and this medicine is also
very small. Take it Go, if you eat it alone, you can ascend to heaven. If two
people eat it together, although they cannot ascend to heaven, they can both
live forever."
Hou
Yi asked for the elixir of immortality and went home happily.
Agudengba
sang a song called "The Unparalleled Resentful Woman" that left Adhuo
speechless:
The world regards Chang'e as a
fairy.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival,
incense is burned and worshiped.
Chang'e is the beloved niece of
the Emperor of Heaven.
She has been transformed since she
was an innocent girl.
She had a crush on Hou Yi and won
everyone's love.
Hou Yi's lover Luo Shen was
ignored.
Relying on the authority and
shamelessness of the Emperor of Heaven,
Chang'e finally married Hou Yi.
From first love to being obsessed
with luxury after marriage,
Enjoying the splendor of heaven is
still not enough.
Chang'e chatters all day long,
There is no shortage of bad temper
in women.
I still worry about wearing heavy
makeup every day,
Worried that my beauty will
wither.
Chang'e asked Hou Yi to find
medicine for this.
Go to Kunlun to get the elixir of
immortality.
Chang'e has become the most
resentful woman in the world,
After all, this is because of the
strength of men.
Or is it helplessness towards this
society?
Although Chang'e has appearance
and figure,
Although I have heavenly family
and background,
But her extravagant hopes were too
much and too painful.
She seemed to have fallen into a
jar of honey locusts,
But many women are not dedicated,
Crystal love has been shattered.
Maybe he is too eager to enjoy
personal gain,
She had no passion or love for Hou
Yi,
A resentful woman never feels
guilty.
Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fableskes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s di masease.
