Origin Story

在古老的东方国度，有一对兄弟，他们的村庄紧挨着蜿蜒的河流和连绵的山脉。他们的家园就像镶嵌在山水画卷中一样，两家田地连成一片，共同守护着世代相传的土地。每年春天，他们一起在山坡上种下希望的种子；秋天，他们又一起收获累累的果实。他们的生活，像这山水一样，绵延不断，生生不息。直到有一天，外族入侵，兄弟俩携手并肩，一起保卫家园，他们的村庄，就如同这山水一般，坚不可摧。

In an ancient eastern country, there were two brothers whose villages nestled next to a winding river and continuous mountains. Their home was like a landscape painting, with their fields connected, guarding the land passed down from generation to generation. Every spring, they planted seeds of hope together on the hillside; in autumn, they harvested the fruits of their labor together. Their lives were like mountains and rivers, continuous and ever-lasting.Until one day, foreign invaders attacked, and the two brothers fought side-by-side to defend their home. Their village was, like the mountains and rivers, impregnable.
