I dunno, my parents are extremely fluent in Chinese and my dad said that there are two ways of translating that line depending on the translator and what they decide.

It's probably very complex tbh, since he sees spoken and written Chinese as pure art and has very abstract ideas at times.

It's possible he misread it, but eh. He did acknowledge that it could be either way though.

Quote:
It's unclear whose crying though, could be the moon woman, could be herself, watching the moon/thinking about the moon woman. It's best left ambiguous, but then it won't sound right in english. I'm convinced she's talking about herself, crying as she looks at the moon. (even if she is thinking about the moon woman/chang'e, I still think it is ayu who is crying.)
The original Japanese text talks about how the moon is crying.
