Once upon a time there were ten suns in the sky. The weather was so hot that crops withered, animals dead. People lived very hard. There was a young man called Hou Yi who was good at archery. People asked him to spare him the nine extra sun down. Hou Yi then climbed a mountain near Shanghai, and then shot down nine of the suns. People were very happy. He and her wife married, and lived a happy life.

Houyi born with genius archery talent, when he was grown he got amazing arm strength and superior arrows skill. Back at the time there were 10 suns, strong sunlight scorched the earth, crops were burn to wither, almost to melt even the stones, and the sea was boiling up. People couldn"t breathe in the hot air, the beast took the opportunity to come out to harm humans. Houyi felt sorry for the people in agony, determined to risk his life to help people out from harm. This man was good at archery, he selected a highland point, took the bow and arrows, shot to the sky, Just a loud noise "bang", one of the suns was shot and fell. Houyi shot out nine arrows in a row, nine suns were falling down one by one. When he wanted to re-shoot and get the last sun down, he suddenly thought, if there was no sun, the earth will be all in the dark, humans wouldn"t survive, then he left the last sun on the sky, let this sun benefit the mankind.
