Origin Story

老王是一位热爱运动的人，每天清晨都会去公园跑步。今天，他比以往更加卖力，一口气跑了十圈。跑完后，他站在原地，气喘吁吁，汗流浃背。虽然很累，但他心里却充满了快乐和满足。他觉得，身体的疲惫远比不上精神上的愉悦。他深吸一口气，慢慢地平复着呼吸，感受着运动带来的活力。

Old Wang was a sports enthusiast who went to the park for a run every morning. Today, he was more energetic than ever before, running ten laps in one go. After finishing, he stood still, panting and sweating profusely. Although he was very tired, his heart was full of happiness and satisfaction. He felt that the physical fatigue was far less than the spiritual joy. He took a deep breath and gradually calmed his breathing, feeling the vitality brought by exercise.
