Origin Story
在一个古老的村庄里，住着两位老农，老李和老张。他们世代耕种着相邻的田地，原本关系融洽。然而，一场突如其来的旱灾打破了这份平静。由于水源有限，老李先一步将仅剩的水源抽干，灌溉了自己的田地，导致老张的庄稼颗粒无收。老张悲愤交加，痛失收成，对老李怀恨在心。秋收时节，老李的庄稼喜获丰收，金灿灿的稻穗沉甸甸地压弯了枝头。老张看到老李的丰收，心中更加愤怒。他偷偷地潜入老李的粮仓，将老李辛辛苦苦收割的粮食偷偷烧毁。老李发现后，悲痛欲绝，最终将老张告上了官府。官府经过调查，最终判决老张赔偿老李的损失，并对其行为进行了严厉的处罚。这个故事告诉我们，打击报复并不能解决问题，只会带来更大的伤害和损失。
In an ancient village lived two old farmers, Lao Li and Lao Zhang. They had cultivated neighboring fields for generations and had originally had a good relationship. However, a sudden drought broke this peace. Due to limited water resources, Lao Li was the first to drain the remaining water to irrigate his own fields, resulting in Lao Zhang's crops failing completely. Lao Zhang was grief-stricken and angry over the loss of his harvest, and he harbored resentment toward Lao Li. During the harvest season, Lao Li's crops had a bumper harvest, the golden rice ears weighed down the branches. Seeing Lao Li's harvest, Lao Zhang became even more angry. He secretly snuck into Lao Li's granary and secretly burned Lao Li's hard-earned harvest. After discovering this, Lao Li was heartbroken and eventually took Lao Zhang to court. After an investigation, the court finally ruled that Lao Zhang should compensate Lao Li for his losses and severely punished his actions. This story tells us that retaliation does not solve problems; it only leads to greater harm and loss.
