“Wugang fagui” is a story for HSK2+ learners. Stories I shared some are Chinese folk tales, and some are my creations. 

This story is one of the most famous stories associated with the Moon Festival. However, there are three different versions of it, each with slight variations. So, if you hear a different story, don’t be surprised.

Wugang Fagui English Translation

A long time ago, there was a man named Wu Gang who was very strong but had no patience. Wu Gang thought, “My strength is so great, I should not be just a human, I should be a god.” So he went to the mountains to find a god, hoping the god could teach him how to become a god.

The god said, “If you want to be a god, you must save people. To save people, you must know about herbs. Go and collect 300 types of herbs.” Wu Gang said, “That’s easy, no problem!” But after collecting 100 types of herbs, Wu Gang lost his patience. “I give up!” Wu Gang told the god that collecting herbs was too boring, and asked if there was another way to become a god.

The god said, “If you want to be a god, you must have knowledge. Memorize this entire book.” Wu Gang said, “That’s easy, no problem!” But after memorizing 10 pages, Wu Gang lost his patience. “I give up!” Wu Gang told the god that memorizing the book took too much time, and asked if there was another way to become a god.

Whenever I ask foreigners, "Do you speak Chinese?" they often reply, "a little bit" (yì diǎn diǎn). That inspired me to create this website and translate "yì diǎn diǎn" into the quirky and fun "One Dot Dot."

It’s also a reminder that learning Chinese is a journey, and progress happens one step at a time. By learning just a little bit every day, you’ll go far!
