Origin Story
从前，在一个小山村里，住着一位老木匠。他技艺精湛，尤其擅长制作木雕。一天，村长来拜访他，想请他帮忙制作一件木雕，作为村里的祭祀用品。老木匠欣然答应，并认真地挑选了上好的木材。然而，村长却对木雕的造型提出了许多苛刻的要求，甚至强加于人自己的设计理念，老木匠虽然知道这个设计并不符合传统工艺，但面对村长的坚持，他还是尊重了村长的选择。老木匠尽心尽力地完成了木雕，但心里却有些无奈，他知道这个木雕虽然精湛，但却不是他心中最好的作品。这个故事告诉我们，有时候，我们不能强加于人自己的意愿，应该尊重他人的想法和选择。
Once upon a time, in a small mountain village, there lived an old carpenter. He was skilled in his craft, especially in wood carving. One day, the village chief came to visit him, wanting him to help make a wood carving as a sacrificial offering for the village. The old carpenter readily agreed and carefully selected the best wood. However, the village chief made many harsh demands on the design of the carving, even imposing his own design concepts. Although the old carpenter knew that this design did not conform to traditional craftsmanship, he respected the village chief's insistence. The old carpenter worked hard to complete the carving, but in his heart he felt somewhat helpless. He knew that the carving, though exquisite, was not the best work in his heart. This story tells us that sometimes we cannot impose our own will on others, we should respect the thoughts and choices of others.
