It was during the rule of King Yao when ten suns were seen appearing

in the sky. They parched the land and the sea. People were struggling with

every days' life.

The king then ordered Houyi, a competent archer, to shoot the nine big

balls of fire down. He climbed up to the top of the Kunlun Mountain and shot

down 9 suns with his magic bow. Grace to him, people survived the disaster

and came to thank their hero. Later, he married Chang Er, King Yao's dauther

as a reward.
