Origin Story

从前，在一个小山村里，住着一位老中医。他医术高明，远近闻名。一天，村里来了一个年轻人，他脸色苍白，身体虚弱，老中医给他把脉后，说他患的是一种罕见的疾病，需要一种特殊的草药才能治愈。年轻人一听，着急了，问道："请问老先生，这种草药在哪里可以找到？"老中医笑了笑，说："这种草药生长在深山老林里，很难找到，但是，如果你肯付出努力，一定能找到它。"年轻人听了，毫不犹豫地就向深山老林走去。他翻山越岭，历经艰辛，终于找到了这种草药。他将草药带回村子，煎药服用。几天后，他的身体逐渐恢复了健康。老中医看到年轻人痊愈了，非常高兴，他感叹道："年轻人，你的毅力令人敬佩，你付出的努力，最终获得了回报，真是亦复如是啊！"

Once upon a time, in a small mountain village, there lived an old Chinese doctor. He was famous for his superb medical skills. One day, a young man came to the village, pale and weak. The old doctor examined his pulse and said that he suffered from a rare disease that required a special herb to cure. The young man was worried and asked, "Sir, where can I find this herb?"
