Origin Story

老渔夫张三在海边生活了大半辈子，见过无数次惊涛骇浪，也见过各种奇特的海洋生物。暴风雨来临，狂风怒号，巨浪滔天，但他却依然平静地坐在船头，手里稳稳地拿着鱼竿，脸上没有任何惊慌失措的表情。因为他早已见惯不惊了。年轻的渔民小李第一次遭遇如此大的风浪，吓得脸色苍白，浑身颤抖，紧紧抓住船舷，生怕被卷入大海。张三看着小李，笑了笑，指着海面说："别怕，小李，这风浪虽然大，但比起我经历过的，还算不上什么。你看，那海鸥依然自由自在地飞翔，那海豚仍然快乐地嬉戏，大自然有它的规律，我们只要做好自己的事情，一切都会安然无恙。"小李听了张三的话，渐渐平静下来，开始观察海面的变化，学习如何应对突发的状况。这次经历，让小李深刻体会到，只有经历风雨，才能见惯不惊，才能在面对任何挑战时都能够保持沉着冷静。

Old fisherman Zhang San had lived by the sea for most of his life and had seen countless storms and various strange marine creatures. When a storm came, the wind howled, and the waves soared into the sky, but he remained calm, sitting at the bow of the boat, holding his fishing rod steadily, without any expression of panic on his face. He had seen it all before. Young fisherman Xiao Li encountered such a strong storm for the first time and was scared pale and trembling, clutching the side of the boat for fear of being swept into the sea. Zhang San looked at Xiao Li and smiled, pointing to the sea surface and saying, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Li. This storm is big, but it's nothing compared to what I've experienced. Look, the seagulls are still flying freely, the dolphins are still playing happily. Nature has its laws, we just need to do our job, and everything will be fine." After listening to Zhang San's words, Xiao Li gradually calmed down and started to observe the changes on the sea surface, learning how to cope with unexpected situations. Through this experience, Xiao Li deeply realized that only by experiencing storms can one become accustomed to the unusual and remain calm and collected in the face of any challenge.
