Origin Story

传说在深山穷林之中，住着一群世外高人。他们远离尘嚣，过着与世无争的生活。一日，一位年轻的书生误入这片深山穷林，迷失了方向。他走了许多天，身心俱疲，却始终找不到出路。正当他绝望之际，他看到了一座古朴的茅屋，屋前种满了奇花异草。一位白发苍苍的老者从屋内走出，他面带慈祥，将迷路的书生带进了茅屋。老者为书生提供了食物和住所，并耐心倾听他的困惑。书生向老者讲述了他的求学经历，以及对未来道路的迷茫。老者听后，并没有给出直接的答案，而是带他来到屋外，指着茂密的深山穷林说道："人生就像这深山穷林，充满了未知和挑战。要想找到属于自己的路，就必须勇于探索，不断前进。"老者的这番话，让书生豁然开朗。他告别老者，离开了深山穷林，带着新的希望和勇气，继续追寻自己的梦想。

Legend has it that in the depths of the mountains and forests, there lived a group of hermits. They lived far from the hustle and bustle, leading a peaceful life. One day, a young scholar strayed into these deep mountains and forests and lost his way. He walked for many days, exhausted both physically and mentally, but he could not find his way out. Just as he was about to despair, he saw a simple thatched hut, with exotic flowers and plants planted in front of it. A white-haired old man came out of the house. He looked kind and led the lost scholar into the hut. The old man provided the scholar with food and shelter and listened patiently to his worries. The scholar told the old man about his study experience and his confusion about the future. After listening, the old man did not give a direct answer, but took him outside and pointed to the dense mountains and forests: "Life is like these deep mountains and forests, full of uncertainty and challenges. If you want to find your own way, you must be brave enough to explore and keep moving forward." These words from the old man made the scholar suddenly enlightened. He said goodbye to the old man and left the deep mountains and forests, with new hope and courage, continuing to pursue his dreams.
