Origin Story

在一个古老的村庄里，住着一位名叫老李的农民。老李一生勤劳，靠着双手辛勤耕作，养活了家人。然而，天有不测风云，一场暴风骤雨突然降临，将老李辛苦种植的庄稼摧毁殆尽。老李看着自己一年的心血付之东流，顿时心灰意冷。这时，一位老邻居走过来，安慰他说：“老李，别灰心，这场暴风骤雨虽然来的突然，但它过后，雨过天晴，天空会更加明朗，你的庄稼也一定会重新生长起来的。”老李听了邻居的话，心里顿时有了希望。他重新振作起来，开始修理被风吹倒的树枝，清理被雨水冲毁的田地。日子一天天过去，老李的庄稼又重新长了出来，比以前更加茂盛。老李终于明白，人生不如意事十之八九，面对困难和挫折，不能一蹶不振，要像暴风骤雨过后一样，重整旗鼓，继续前进。
