Origin Story

寒冬腊月，鹅毛大雪纷飞。一位年迈的老人独自一人在风雪中瑟瑟发抖，衣衫单薄，冻得嘴唇发紫。路过的人们有的匆匆走过，有的停下脚步看一眼，却漠不关心，没有一个人上前施以援手。老人孤单的身影在风雪中显得格外凄凉，他默默地承受着寒冷和孤独的煎熬。这时，一个年轻的姑娘看到了老人的困境，她毫不犹豫地走上前去，将老人扶到温暖的屋子里，给他送上热腾腾的汤水和棉被。老人的心里充满了感激之情，他感受到了人间的温暖和善良。年轻姑娘的举动，与那些漠不关心的人形成了鲜明的对比，也让我们深思：在生活中，我们应该多一些爱心和关怀，让这个世界充满温暖。

In the cold winter, a heavy snowstorm raged. An elderly man shivered alone in the snow, his clothes thin and his lips purple with cold. Some people hurried past, others stopped to look, but showed no concern, and no one offered help. The old man's lonely figure was particularly desolate in the snow. He silently endured the cold and the loneliness. At that moment, a young girl saw the old man's plight and without hesitation went to him, helped him into a warm house, and gave him hot soup and a blanket. The old man's heart was filled with gratitude. He felt the warmth and kindness of humanity. The young girl's actions were in stark contrast to those who were indifferent and made us think: in life, we should show more love and care to make the world a warmer place.
