One year, the weather was unusually hot, the sun shone on the earth, the crops were scorched, the trees were roasted to death, and even the rivers and lakes dried up!Kuafu looked at the people who had died in the scorching heat, raised his head and swore, "The sun is so hateful!."I'm going to catch it and catch it and make it do what the humans do!”

The tribesmen said that the sun was too far away from the people and too hot, and that Kuafu would be roasted to death even if he would not die of exhaustion. But Kuafu said: For the happy life of the clan, he must catch up with the sun!

Kuafu said goodbye to his clansmen, and set off to the East China Sea before dawn. He wants to start his day-by-day journey by the sea where the sun rises!

The sun rises in the east, and Kuafu is running like the wind on the ground, desperately chasing the sun!Kuafu ran faster and faster, getting closer to the sun, and feeling hotter and hotter!The hungry and thirsty Kuafu chased him to the Yellow River, and he leaned down and drank the water of the Yellow River in one goKuafu chased to the Wei River again, and drank the water of the Wei River with one mouthKuafu chased northward and drank up the water of the Great Northern Lakes!
