How much would you pay to go to the moon?

In Chinese culture, we have the legend of Chang’e —

a woman who flew to the moon,

for love, and for escape.

In modern tales, they say

the dark side of the moon hides a secret.

Not a palace of gods,

but the reflection of our own imagination —

our curiosity for the unknown,

our fear of solitude,

our longing for eternity.

Some would spend a lifetime

just to reach that distant place.

But I’d rather stay here,

quietly looking up at the same moon.

Because I believe

sharing this silence on Earth

brings me closer to the universe than any rocket ever could.
