When the dawn heralds the dawn, the sun perched on the treetops rides across the sky in a two-wheeled vehicle. Ten suns are changing every day, crossing the sky in turn, bringing light and heat to everything on earth. At that time, people lived very happily and harmoniously on the earth. People and animals live together like neighbors and friends. Animals put their offspring in their nests without worrying that people will hurt them. Farmers pile grains in the fields without worrying that animals will take them away. People work and rest on time, work at sunrise, rest at sunset and live a happy life. People and animals meet each other with sincerity and respect each other as guests. At that time, people were grateful to the sun for bringing them time, light and joy. One day, however, ten suns thought it would be interesting if they traveled around the sky together. Then, at dawn, ten suns climbed into the car together and embarked on a journey across the sky. As a result, people and everything on earth will suffer. Ten suns are like ten fireballs, and their heat scorches the earth. The forest caught fire and burned to ashes, killing many animals. Those animals that didn't die in the fire wandered around the crowd, frantically looking for food. The river dried up and so did the sea. When all the fish died, the monsters in the water climbed ashore to steal food. Many people and animals died of thirst. Crops and orchards withered, and food for people and animals was cut off. Some people go out for food and are burned alive by the high temperature of the sun; Others become food for wild animals. People struggled to survive in the fire. At this time, there was a handsome young hero named Hou Yi. He is an archer, and his archery is superb. Seeing that people are living in misery, he decided to help people get rid of misery and shoot out nine redundant suns. So Hou Yi climbed ninety-nine mountains, crossed ninety-nine rivers, crossed ninety-nine canyons and came to the East China Sea. He climbed a mountain, at the foot of which was the vast sea. Hou Yi opened a crossbow with a force of ten thousand Jin, took a sharp arrow with a weight of one thousand Jin, aimed it at the burning sun in the sky, and shot it out with a swish. The first sun was shot down. Hou Yi opened his crossbow again, took a sharp arrow, and shot it with a buzz, shooting down two suns at the same time. Now, there are seven suns in the sky staring at their red eyes. Hou Yi felt that these suns were still very hot and shot the third arrow violently. This arrow hit four suns. The other suns trembled with fear and kept spinning. In this way, Hou Yi shot an arrow at the sun one by one, killing nine suns. The nine suns with arrows can't survive, and they die one by one. Their feathers fell to the ground, and their light and heat disappeared one after another. The earth is getting darker and darker until at last there is only a ray of sunshine left. However, the rest of the sun was so scared that it staggered in the sky and panicked that it quickly hid in the sea. Without the sun in the sky, it immediately became dark. Everything can't be bred by the sun, there are poisonous snakes and beasts everywhere, and people can't survive. They asked the gods in the sky to call out the tenth sun so that all human beings could continue to reproduce. One morning, in the East China Sea, colorful morning glow was reflected, and then a golden sun came out of the sea! When people saw the brilliance of the sun, they danced with joy and cheered in unison. From then on, the sun rises from the eastern seaside every day, hangs in the sky, warms the world, seedlings grow and everything survives. Houyi shot at the sun to save the world, and his merits were boundless. He was named a heavenly general by the Emperor of Heaven. Later, he married the fairy Chang 'e and lived a happy life.
