Origin Story
话说古代一位年轻的将军，奉命率领千军万马前往边疆抵御外敌入侵。临行前，他来到父母面前，郑重地行跪拜大礼。他双目低垂，目不斜视，不敢直视父母的泪眼。他知道，此去征战，凶险万分，生死未卜，但他必须肩负起保家卫国的重任。他默默地承受着父母的担忧和不舍，心中充满了对家国的忠诚和对父母的孝心。他起身告辞，踏上征程，一路目不斜视，专心致志地带领军队前进，最终以少胜多，大获全胜，凯旋而归。
In ancient times, a young general received orders to lead a large army to the border to defend against enemy invasion. Before leaving, he visited his parents, solemnly performing the ritual of kneeling and bowing. He lowered his eyes, avoiding eye contact, unable to bear to look at his parents' teary eyes. He knew this expedition would be fraught with peril, with life and death uncertain, but he must shoulder the responsibility of defending the nation. He silently bore the worry and reluctance of his parents, filled with loyalty to his country and filial piety. He rose, bade farewell, and embarked on his journey. Along the way, he remained unwavering, diligently leading his troops, and finally triumphed against overwhelming odds, returning victorious.
