Origin Story
很久以前，在一个美丽的花园里，生长着许多鲜花。其中，有一朵红色的玫瑰，比其他的花都高挑，花瓣也格外鲜艳。其他的花朵，虽然也努力地生长，但始终无法与那朵红色的玫瑰相比。这朵玫瑰，就这样一枝独秀，成为了花园里最美丽的风景。 有一天，一位著名的园艺家来到花园，被这朵红色的玫瑰深深吸引。他赞叹道：“这朵玫瑰真是太美了！它独自绽放，一枝独秀，是花园里最耀眼的存在！” 从此以后，这朵玫瑰更加努力地生长，它的花瓣更加鲜艳，香味也更加浓郁。它成为花园里最受瞩目的存在，引来了无数的游客前来观赏。 而其他的花朵，也从这朵玫瑰身上学习到了如何努力生长，如何绽放自己的美丽。虽然它们无法像那朵玫瑰一样一枝独秀，但它们也努力地生长，绽放出属于自己独特的光彩。
Long ago, in a beautiful garden, many flowers grew. Among them was a red rose, taller and with brighter petals than all the others. The other flowers, though they also grew, could not compare to the red rose. This rose bloomed alone and was the most beautiful in the garden. One day, a famous gardener came to the garden and was captivated by the red rose. He exclaimed admiringly: "This rose is truly beautiful! It blooms alone and is the brightest presence in the garden!" From then on, the rose grew even better, its petals became even brighter and its fragrance more intense. It became the center of attention in the garden and attracted countless visitors. The other flowers also learned from the rose how to grow diligently and unfold their beauty. Although they could not be as alone as the rose, they grew diligently and displayed their unique brilliance.
