Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a fisherman named Hai'er who grew up by the sea and was filled with awe and love for the ocean. One day, Hai'er went out to sea to fish and suddenly encountered a violent storm. The once calm sea surface instantly became turbulent, with huge waves crashing down. Hai'er's small boat was tossed about in the stormy waves, with the danger of capsizing at any moment. Hai'er held tightly to the helm, relying on his years of sailing experience and knowledge of the sea, and fought against the raging waves, finally overcoming the storm and returning safely to port.
