Origin Story
在一个古老的村庄里，住着一位名叫阿强的年轻人。他从小顽劣，长大后更是为非作恶，偷鸡摸狗，无恶不作。村民们对他忍无可忍，多次劝诫他改过自新，但阿强却置若罔闻，依然我行我素。有一天，阿强闯进村长的家里，企图偷走村长珍藏多年的金玉。村长发现后，大声呼喊，惊动了全村的人。村民们合力将阿强抓获，将他送到了官府。官府对他进行了严厉的惩罚，阿强最终受到了应有的报应。从此以后，村庄里再也没有人敢为非作恶了。这个故事告诉我们，为非作恶终究会受到惩罚，唯有行善积德才能得到好报。
In an ancient village, there lived a young man named Aqiang. He was naughty since childhood, and when he grew up, he did evil, stealing chickens and dogs, doing all kinds of evil. The villagers couldn't bear it any longer and repeatedly advised him to change his ways, but Aqiang ignored them and continued to do as he pleased. One day, Aqiang broke into the village chief's house, intending to steal the gold and jade that the village chief had treasured for many years. When the village chief discovered this, he shouted loudly, alarming the whole village. The villagers worked together to capture Aqiang and sent him to the government office. The government office severely punished him, and Aqiang finally received his due retribution. From then on, no one in the village dared to do evil anymore. This story tells us that doing evil will eventually be punished, and only by doing good and accumulating virtue can one receive a good reward.
