About this listen

Chang’e, eldest daughter of a powerful sky god, makes a foolish mistake and is exiled from the heavenly world, condemned to live out her days as an earthbound mortal. The archer Hou Yi dives through the clouds to follow her, and together they save the human world from destruction.

But Chang'e drinks a magic elixir and finds herself trapped alone on the cold, distant moon, with only the Jade Rabbit for companionship. She builds a palace there and faces countless challenges, including a drunken naval officer and a wily demon.

This book is written using only 780 different Chinese words, most of which are in the HSK3 vocabulary. It is presented in Simplified Chinese and pinyin, and includes a complete English translation and glossary of all words used.

This retelling of one of China’s most beloved legends brings timeless themes to life for modern listeners. Chang’e is a celebration of courage and compassion, and a reminder that even in exile, light can endure.

Please note: This audiobook is in Mandarin Chinese.
