Once upon a time, in a small mountain village, lived a girl named Axiang. Her daily life was ordinary; she worked from sunrise to sunset. She helped the villagers with farm work and took care of the chickens, ducks, and geese at home. She never pursued luxurious clothes or a wealthy life; she silently cultivated, leading a simple life through hard work. Though her life was ordinary, it was full of love and warmth. She treated everyone sincerely and kindly, showing equal respect and help to rich and poor alike. Axiang's story was told throughout the village, becoming an example for others. Though she achieved nothing spectacular, her kindness and diligence nourished the villagers' hearts like sunshine and rain. Her ordinary life, full of love and warmth, was especially precious.
