Origin Story

很久以前，在一个偏僻的小山村里，住着一位名叫小雨的姑娘。她善良勤劳，深受村民的爱戴。有一天，天空中乌云密布，电闪雷鸣，一场暴风雨即将来临。小雨担心村里的庄稼会被大雨冲毁，于是她急忙跑到田地里，查看庄稼的情况。她看到许多稻穗已经弯下了腰，有些甚至被风雨吹断了。小雨的心中充满了焦虑，她不知道该怎么办。这时，她想起村里一位老人的话：‘面对困难，不要害怕，要勇敢地去面对，相信自己一定能战胜困难。’于是，小雨鼓起勇气，开始抢救庄稼。她把被风雨吹倒的稻穗扶起来，把断开的稻穗扎起来。她一直忙到深夜，才筋疲力尽地回到家里。第二天，当太阳升起的时候，暴风雨已经过去了。小雨来到田地里一看，庄稼都安然无恙。她高兴地笑了，因为她用自己的努力，战胜了暴风雨，保护了村里的庄稼。

Long ago, in a remote mountain village, lived a girl named Xiaoyu. She was kind and hardworking and deeply loved by the villagers. One day, dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared – a violent storm was approaching. Xiaoyu worried that the village's crops would be destroyed by the heavy rain, so she rushed to the fields to check the condition of the plants. She saw that many rice ears were already bent over, and some had even been broken by the wind. Xiaoyu's heart was filled with anxiety; she didn't know what to do. At that moment, she remembered the words of an old man in the village: 'Don't be afraid of difficulties, face them bravely, and believe that you can overcome them.' So Xiaoyu mustered her courage and began to rescue the crops. She straightened the rice ears that had been blown down by the wind and tied up the broken ones. She worked until late into the night, until she was exhausted and returned home. The next day, when the sun rose, the storm had passed. Xiaoyu went to the fields and saw that the crops were safe. She smiled happily because she had, through her own efforts, overcome the storm and protected the village's crops.
