Origin Story
唐朝诗人李白，一生漂泊，游历各地。他写下许多豪迈的诗篇，表达了他对自由和远方的向往。有一次，他写了一首诗，其中有一句是“海角天涯，何处是归程？”。这句诗表达了他漂泊无依，思乡怀人的感情。诗句传颂千古，成为人们表达思念之情的经典之作。故事里，李白曾游历到南方一个偏僻的海边小村庄，这里地处偏僻，与外界隔绝，村里的人们世代居住于此，日出而作，日落而息，生活简单而宁静。他们很少与外界接触，对外面的世界知之甚少。有一天，一个商人来到这个小村庄，他带来的消息让村民们大吃一惊：世界上还有比这里更大的地方，还有更丰富多彩的生活。商人绘声绘色地描述着外面的世界，村民们听得入迷，心中充满了好奇与向往。这个故事也让我们看到了，即使在科技不发达的古代，人们对远方依然充满了无限的憧憬和向往。海角天涯，不再仅仅是一个地理位置的描述，更是一种对未知世界探索的追求和对美好生活的向往。
Li Bai, a Tang Dynasty poet, lived a life of wandering and traveled to many places. He wrote many powerful poems expressing his longing for freedom and the distant lands. Once, he wrote a poem with a line: "At the ends of the earth, where is the way home?" This line expresses his helplessness and longing for home. This poetic line has been passed down for centuries, becoming a classic expression of longing. In the story, Li Bai once traveled to a remote coastal village in the south. This village is isolated from the outside world, and the villagers have lived there for generations, working from sunrise to sunset, living a simple and peaceful life. They rarely had contact with the outside world and knew little about the world beyond. One day, a merchant came to this village, and his news greatly surprised the villagers: there were even bigger places in the world, and there were even more colorful lives. The merchant vividly described the outside world, and the villagers listened with fascination, their hearts filled with curiosity and longing. This story also shows us that even in ancient times when technology was not as developed, people still had endless yearnings and aspirations for the distance. The ends of the earth are not just a description of a geographical location but also the pursuit of exploring the unknown world and a yearning for a better life.
