Origin Story

从前，在一个偏远的小村庄里，住着一位名叫阿福的年轻人。阿福为人善良，乐于助人，但他有个独特的习惯，那就是对任何事情都毫不在乎。村里人丢了东西，他不会帮忙寻找；有人生病了，他不会前去探望；即使村里发生了大火，他也是一副事不关己高高挂起的态度。人们常常对他这种态度感到不解。一天，村里来了个算命先生，他看到阿福毫不在乎的样子，便走过去对他说："年轻人，你这样毫不在乎，迟早会吃大亏的。"阿福听了，只是笑了笑，毫不在乎地继续做着自己的事。后来，阿福因为毫不在乎，错过了许多机会，也因此遭受了许多损失，最终才明白人生不能总是毫不在乎，要对身边的一切抱有责任心。

Once upon a time, in a remote village, lived a young man named A Fu. A Fu was kind and helpful, but he had a unique habit: he didn't care about anything. When people in the village lost things, he wouldn't help search; when someone was sick, he wouldn't visit; even if there was a big fire in the village, he would act indifferently. People often wondered about his attitude. One day, a fortune teller came to the village, and seeing A Fu's indifferent attitude, he went over to him and said: "Young man, if you don't care like this, you will suffer sooner or later." A Fu just smiled and went on doing his own thing. Later, A Fu missed many opportunities and suffered many losses because of his indifference, and finally understood that life cannot always be indifferent, and one must have responsibility for everything around them.
