Once upon a time, there was a poet named Li Bai, who was not only a talented writer, but also a master of martial arts. One day, he and his friends went on a trip to the countryside and passed by a tall mountain. His friends saw a huge rock on the top of the mountain and thought it was impossible to move, so they advised Li Bai not to try. But Li Bai smiled confidently and said, "举重若轻, nothing to worry about." Then, he easily lifted the huge rock, which amazed everyone. This is how the idiom "举重若轻" came to be, used to describe someone who can do things with ease, effortlessly, and can handle all kinds of difficulties with ease.
