Origin Story

话说三国时期，诸葛亮辅佐刘备建立蜀汉政权后，为了恢复民生，他事无巨细地处理政务。从国家大事到百姓小情，他都亲力亲为，认真对待。有一次，一位百姓来禀报，家中田地被水淹了，损失惨重。诸葛亮不仅派人前往救灾，还亲自前往查看灾情，并制定了具体的救济措施。百姓们感动不已，纷纷称赞诸葛亮的贤明。诸葛亮治蜀期间，蜀汉国力日渐强盛，百姓安居乐业，这与他认真负责，事无巨细的工作态度密不可分。

In the Three Kingdoms period, after Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei in establishing the Shu Han regime, he handled government affairs meticulously to restore people's livelihood. From major state affairs to minor personal matters, he personally handled everything and treated everything seriously. Once, a citizen came to report that his farmland had been flooded and suffered heavy losses. Zhuge Liang not only sent people to rescue the disaster but also personally went to inspect the disaster situation and formulated specific relief measures. The people were deeply moved and praised Zhuge Liang's wisdom. During Zhuge Liang's rule in Shu, the national power of Shu Han grew stronger, and the people lived in peace and prosperity. This was inseparable from his serious and responsible work attitude, where he cared about every detail.
