Origin Story

太阳西斜,夕阳余晖洒满了大地,但此时此刻,对于远行归来的老王来说,却显得格外刺眼。他已经走了整整一天的路,双脚像是灌了铅似的沉重,背上的行囊也仿佛压得他喘不过气来。他原本以为自己能撑到家,可是当他走到村口的时候,他终于感到疲惫不堪,不得不停下来休息。他找了一块石头坐下,闭上眼睛,任凭风吹过自己的脸庞。这时,一位路过的村民看到了他,关心地问他:“老王,你这是怎么了?怎么坐在这里?”老王勉强地睁开眼睛,说道:“我已经走了整整一天的路,现在疲惫不堪,实在走不动了。

The sun was setting, and the evening light bathed the earth, but for Old Wang, who was returning from a long journey, it seemed especially dazzling. He had been walking for a whole day, his feet were heavy as lead, and the knapsack on his back felt like a stone on his chest. He had thought he could make it home, but when he reached the village entrance, he finally felt exhausted and had to stop to rest. He found a rock to sit on, closed his eyes, and let the wind blow across his face. At that moment, a villager passing by saw him and asked with concern, "Old Wang, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting here?" Wang opened his eyes with difficulty and said, "I've been walking for a whole day, and now I'm exhausted. I can't go on."
