Origin Story
从前，在一个偏远的小山村里，住着一个名叫阿牛的年轻人。阿牛从小就天真烂漫，喜欢幻想。他常常对着天空，想象着自己变成一只雄鹰，在广阔的天空中自由翱翔；他常常坐在田埂上，想象着自己变成一位伟大的科学家，发明出各种神奇的机器；他常常在河边发呆，想象着自己变成一条快乐的小鱼，在清澈的河水中自由嬉戏。 然而，阿牛的幻想总是不着边际，缺乏现实的根基。他曾经计划建造一座通往月亮的桥梁，用竹竿和木板搭建，结果竹竿不够长，木板不够结实，桥梁还没建成就倒塌了。他曾经计划发明一种可以瞬间移动的机器，利用各种瓶瓶罐罐和旧零件拼装，结果机器不仅无法移动，还发出刺耳的声音，吓跑了村里的鸡鸭。 村里的人们都觉得阿牛很傻，他的幻想总是那么不切实际。但是阿牛并没有因此而放弃幻想。他依然坚持着自己的梦想，继续在自己的世界里自由地想象。尽管他的梦想总是不着边际，但他的热情和想象力却感染了周围的人们。他们开始理解阿牛，并尝试着去欣赏他独特的思维方式。 最终，阿牛的故事并没有一个完美的结局，但他那不着边际的幻想，却成为了一个美丽的传说，流传在小山村里。
Once upon a time, in a remote mountain village, lived a young man named An Niu. From a young age, An Niu was naive and imaginative. He often looked at the sky and imagined himself as an eagle, soaring freely in the vast expanse; he often sat on the ridge of a field and imagined himself as a great scientist, inventing all sorts of magical machines; he often sat by the river in a daze and imagined himself as a happy little fish, frolicking freely in the clear river water. However, An Niu's fantasies were always unrealistic and lacked a realistic foundation. He once planned to build a bridge to the moon, using bamboo poles and wooden planks, but the bamboo poles were not long enough and the planks were not strong enough, and the bridge collapsed before it was completed. He once planned to invent a machine that could teleport, using various bottles and jars and old parts, but the machine could not only not move, it also made a piercing sound that scared away the village's chickens and ducks. The villagers all thought An Niu was foolish, his fantasies were always so unrealistic. But An Niu did not give up his fantasies because of this. He still persisted in his dreams, continuing to imagine freely in his own world. Although his dreams were always unrealistic, his enthusiasm and imagination were contagious to the people around him. They began to understand An Niu, and tried to appreciate his unique way of thinking. In the end, An Niu's story did not have a perfect ending, but his unrealistic fantasies became a beautiful legend, passed down in the mountain village.
