Origin Story
古老的村庄里，一位德高望重的老人即将驾鹤西去。他的子孙后代们，屏声静气地守候在他的床边，默默祈祷，期盼着奇迹的出现。屋外寒风呼啸，屋内却一片宁静，只有老人微弱的呼吸声，在寂静的空气中轻轻回荡。时间一分一秒地过去，老人的呼吸渐渐平稳，最终安详地离开了人世。那一刻，虽然悲伤，却也充满了敬畏和尊重。
In an ancient village, a highly respected elder was about to pass away. His descendants, silently and respectfully, kept vigil by his bedside, praying silently for a miracle. Outside, the wind howled, but inside, there was a profound silence, only punctuated by the elder's faint breaths, gently echoing in the quiet air. As time ticked by, his breathing became steadier, and eventually he passed away peacefully. At that moment, although filled with sorrow, there was also a profound sense of reverence and respect.
