Origin Story

从前，在一个偏僻的小山村里，住着一位名叫李明的年轻书生。李明勤奋好学，但常常因为一些难题而苦恼。一天，他正在书房里苦思冥想一道复杂的数学题，绞尽脑汁也找不到解法，急得团团转。这时，他抬头望向窗外，看到一群蚂蚁正在搬运食物，它们井然有序，互相合作，最终将食物搬回了巢穴。李明看着蚂蚁们，突然有所感悟，联想到自己解题的过程，他意识到自己思路过于单一，没有尝试换个角度思考问题。于是，他放下手中的笔，开始尝试用不同的方法解题。经过反复尝试，他终于恍然大悟，找到了问题的答案。他高兴地跳了起来，激动的心情久久不能平静。从那以后，李明解题时总是先从不同的角度思考问题，避免陷入思维定势，他的解题能力也得到了显著的提高。

Once upon a time, in a remote mountain village, there lived a young scholar named Li Ming. Li Ming was diligent and studious, but he was often troubled by difficult problems. One day, he was in his study, pondering a complex mathematical problem. He racked his brains but couldn't find a solution, and he was so anxious he paced back and forth. At this time, he looked up and out the window, and saw a group of ants transporting food. They were well-organized and cooperated with each other, and finally moved the food back to their nest. Li Ming watched the ants and suddenly had an epiphany. He connected this to his own problem-solving process, and realized that his thinking had been too one-sided, and he hadn't tried to think about the problem from a different perspective. So, he put down his pen and began to try different methods to solve the problem. After repeated attempts, he finally had an epiphany and found the answer to the problem. He jumped with joy, and his excitement lasted for a long time. From then on, Li Ming always thought about problems from different perspectives, avoiding falling into a rut, and his problem-solving ability improved significantly.
