Origin Story
夕阳西下，古老的城墙在余晖中影影绰绰，像一位饱经沧桑的老人，静静地诉说着岁月的变迁。一位年轻的画家，被这古老城墙的魅力所吸引，他扛着画板，来到城墙下，仔细观察着城墙上斑驳的痕迹。夕阳的余晖照射在城墙上，让城墙看起来更加神秘莫测。画家挥动着手中的画笔，试图捕捉这影影绰绰的城墙轮廓，以及它背后所蕴含的历史和故事。他画得很投入，周围的一切仿佛都消失了，只剩下他与这古老的城墙。当夜幕降临，城墙的轮廓越来越模糊，画家终于完成了他的作品。这是一幅充满神秘感的作品，它成功地展现了古老城墙在夕阳下的影影绰绰，以及它所散发出的沧桑之美。
As the sun set, the old city walls appeared shadowy and indistinct in the afterglow, like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, silently narrating the changes of time. A young painter was attracted by the charm of the ancient city walls, and he carried his painting board to the foot of the city walls, carefully observing the mottled marks on the city walls. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the city walls, making them look even more mysterious. The painter waved his brush, trying to capture the shadowy outline of the city walls and the history and stories behind them. He painted with great concentration, and everything around him seemed to disappear, leaving only him and the ancient city walls. As dusk fell, and the outline of the city walls became increasingly blurred, the painter finally completed his work. This is a work full of mystery, and it successfully shows the shadowy city walls at sunset, as well as the beauty of vicissitudes of life they exude.
