Once upon a time, in a small mountain village, there lived a young man named An Niu. Since childhood, he was poor, and in order to change his fate, he decided to go to the city to learn a craft. He said goodbye to his parents, took his simple luggage, and set off for the city. In the city, An Niu found a master carpenter and earnestly begged the master to take him in as an apprentice. Seeing that An Niu was diligent and studious, the master carpenter agreed to his request. An Niu got up early and went to bed late every day, diligently learning the craft of carpentry. He started with the most basic work of polishing wood and learned step by step. He never complained about the hardships, nor did he ever think about giving up. Year after year, wind and sun, his hands became rough and his skin turned dark, but he never regretted his choice. After many years of hard work, An Niu finally mastered the superb carpentry skills and became a well-known craftsman. With his skills, he not only lived a comfortable life, but also helped many people in need. The experience and technology he accumulated over many years finally made him the most respected carpentry master in the area, and his life became more exciting because of his perseverance.
