Her family makes mooncakes for the village and she was very close to her mother. Shortly into the movie her mother falls ill and gives her a bunny called Bungee. After her mom passed away Fei Fei’s dad wanted to remarry but she didn’t like her stepmother and stepbrother. She wanted to prove to others that Chang Er’s story was not a myth and was real so she built a rocket and flew to the moon with her Bunny Bungee.
