Origin Story

在一个偏僻的小山村里，住着一位名叫阿香的姑娘。阿香从小就勤劳善良，她家的田地虽然贫瘠，但她总是辛勤劳作，从不抱怨。村里要修建一条通往外界的路，需要大家捐款捐物。村长挨家挨户地去收钱，许多人家都只捐了一点点，有的甚至一分钱也不肯捐。轮到阿香家时，阿香二话不说，拿出家里仅剩的一点积蓄，全部捐给了村里。村长很感动，问她为什么这么慷慨，阿香笑了笑说：“修路是为了大家方便，我甘心情愿。”,

In a remote mountain village, there lived a girl named Axiang. Axiang had been diligent and kind since she was a child. Although her family's land was barren, she always worked diligently without complaint. The village was going to build a road to the outside world, and everyone was required to donate money and goods. The village head went from house to house to collect money. Many families only donated a little, and some even refused to donate a cent. When it was Axiang's turn, Axiang, without saying a word, took out all the remaining savings in her family and donated them to the village. The village head was very moved and asked her why she was so generous. Axiang smiled and said, "Building the road is for everyone's convenience, I am happy to do it.",
