In a remote mountain village lived an elderly carpenter named Old Li. He dedicated his life to wood carving, and his skill was superb, his works being extraordinarily lifelike. Old Li had a gifted grandson named Xiaoqiang. From a young age, Xiaoqiang was immersed in the art of wood carving and developed a keen interest in it. He often watched his grandfather at work, learning diligently and trying his hand at carving himself. Initially, Xiaoqiang's work was crude, but he never gave up, practicing tirelessly. Gradually, Xiaoqiang's skill improved rapidly. The figures he carved were remarkably lifelike, each with unique expressions and poses. The texture of their clothing and the details of their expressions and movements were all meticulously captured, making his works appear almost supernatural. Old Li was pleased to see his grandson inherit his craft and surpass his own achievements. Xiaoqiang's works soon gained fame, attracting numerous collectors and enthusiasts. Many marveled at how lifelike his creations were, almost as if they were real people. Xiaoqiang humbly replied, "It's all thanks to my grandfather's teaching. I must continue to work hard and strive for perfection."
