Origin Story
很久以前，在一片广袤无垠的大草原上，生活着一个游牧民族。他们过着逐水草而居的生活，一年四季都在草原上迁徙。有一天，他们发现了一个美丽的地方，那里有一条清澈的小河，河边长满了鲜嫩的青草，但是这里人烟稀少，几乎看不到其他人的踪迹。起初，他们有些害怕，担心这里会有危险，但是由于这片水草丰美的土地太吸引人了，他们还是决定在这里定居下来。他们在这里搭建起了帐篷，开始过起了平静而幸福的生活。随着时间的推移，他们的族人越来越多，这里也逐渐繁荣起来。他们用自己的勤劳和智慧，将这片人烟稀少的地方变成了一个充满生机和希望的乐园。
Long ago, on a vast grassland, lived a nomadic people. They lived a life following the water and grass, migrating across the grassland throughout the year. One day, they discovered a beautiful place, where there was a clear river, and the riverbank was covered with fresh and tender grass, but it was sparsely populated, with almost no other people in sight. Initially, they were a little scared and worried that there might be danger, but because this water and grass land was so attractive, they still decided to settle there. They set up their tents and began a peaceful and happy life. Over time, their tribe grew, and this place gradually became prosperous. With their own hard work and wisdom, they turned this sparsely populated place into a paradise full of life and hope.
