Origin Story

小明从小在农村长大，很少有机会接触外面的世界。有一天，他跟着父母去大城市旅游，高耸入云的大楼，川流不息的车流，琳琅满目的商品，让他目不暇接。各种各样新奇的事物，让他大开眼界，感觉以前的生活是多么的狭隘。他开始思考，要努力学习，将来也要为社会做出贡献。回到农村后，他更加积极地学习新知识，并尝试将新知识运用到农业生产中。几年后，他依靠自己的努力成为当地有名的农业专家，他不仅改善了自家农场的收成，也帮助许多村民走上了致富的道路。小明的故事，正像那句成语“大开眼界”一样，充满了希望和无限的可能。

Xiaoming grew up in the countryside and rarely had the chance to experience the outside world. One day, he traveled to a big city with his parents. The towering buildings, the endless stream of traffic, and the wide variety of goods made him speechless. Various new and strange things opened his eyes and made him realize how limited his previous life had been. He began to think about studying hard and contributing to society in the future. After returning to the countryside, he studied new knowledge even more actively and tried to apply this new knowledge to agricultural production. After a few years, he became a well-known agricultural expert in the local area through his efforts. He not only improved the harvest of his own farm, but also helped many villagers achieve prosperity. Xiaoming's story, just like the idiom "Da Kai Yan Jie", is full of hope and endless possibilities.
