This is the second episode of my “Flying to the Moon” trilogy. Here I portray Chang’e 嫦娥 on her wedding night, before she becomes the Lady on the Moon. Chang’e is preoccupied with self doubt, after her soon-to-be husband Houyi 后羿 has shot down nine of ten suns to curb the unbearable heat. She is very contented with what they have got on earth but is acutely aware of Houyi’s pursuit of immortality in heaven. Is it going to be “until death do us part” 白头偕老 or “same bed, different dreams 同床异梦, she wonders?
