Origin Story
三国时期，孙权刘备联军在赤壁之战大胜曹操后，乘胜追击到南郡。吴将甘宁奉命占据夷陵，曹仁率领五千兵马前来围困，并不断向城内射箭。甘宁只有两千兵马，但他毫不畏惧，依然谈笑自若，命令士兵收集曹军的箭矢，同时派人突围向周瑜求援。最终，周瑜率领援军赶到，解了夷陵之围。甘宁谈笑自若的镇定，不仅鼓舞了士气，也展现了他卓越的军事才能和心理素质。
During the Three Kingdoms period in China, after the allied forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei had won a great victory over Cao Cao in the Battle of Red Cliffs, they pursued their victory to Nanjun. The Wu general Gan Ning was ordered to occupy Yiling, but Cao Ren came with 5,000 troops to besiege it, constantly shooting arrows into the city. Gan Ning had only 2,000 soldiers, but he was not afraid, remaining calm and composed. He ordered his soldiers to collect the arrows of Cao's army, and at the same time sent messengers to break through the siege to ask Zhou Yu for reinforcements. Finally, Zhou Yu arrived with reinforcements and lifted the siege of Yiling. Gan Ning's composure not only boosted morale, but also demonstrated his outstanding military talent and psychological quality.
