Origin Story
从前,在一个偏僻的小山村里,住着一位德高望重的老人。村里的人都很尊敬他,经常向他请教问题。有一天,村里来了一个外乡人,他趾高气扬,对村民们不理不睬,还对老人的劝告置若罔闻。老人并没有生气,只是默默地摇了摇头,继续做着自己的事情。后来,外乡人因为不懂得尊重他人,受到了村里其他人的抵制,最终不得不离开了小山村。这个故事告诉我们,即使别人对我们置若罔闻,我们也要保持自己的风度和修养,用自己的行为去影响他们。
Once upon a time, in a remote mountain village, there lived a respected old man. The villagers respected him very much and often sought his advice. One day, a stranger came to the village. He was arrogant and ignored the villagers, and he also ignored the old man's advice. The old man did not get angry, but silently shook his head and continued to do his own thing. Later, the stranger, because he did not know how to respect others, was boycotted by other villagers and eventually had to leave the mountain village. This story teaches us that even if others ignore us, we should maintain our dignity and cultivation and influence others with our behavior.
