Origin Story
夕阳西下，老渔夫独自坐在海边，望着空荡荡的海面，回忆起与老伴一起出海捕鱼的点点滴滴，不禁潸然泪下。往昔的欢声笑语仿佛就在耳边回荡，如今却只剩下他孤身一人。他曾经想过放弃捕鱼，但他又舍不得这片养育他的大海，舍不得这承载着他们共同回忆的小船。他擦干眼泪，起身走向那艘破旧的小船，准备再次出海，即使他知道，未来仍旧充满着未知与挑战。
As the sun set, the old fisherman sat alone by the sea, gazing at the empty ocean, recalling the bits and pieces of his life spent fishing with his wife, and couldn't help but burst into tears. The happy laughter of the past seemed to echo in his ears, but now he was left alone. He had considered giving up fishing, but he couldn't bear to part with the sea that had nurtured him, nor the small boat that carried their shared memories. He wiped away his tears, got up and walked towards the old, dilapidated boat, ready to go to sea again, even though he knew that the future would still be full of unknowns and challenges.
