Long ago, in a remote village, lived a young woodcutter named Aqiang. He made his living by cutting wood and supported himself and his elderly mother with his meager income. One day, while Aqiang was cutting wood in the mountains, he unexpectedly encountered a violent storm, making the mountain path muddy and treacherous. Despite the storm, Aqiang continued his journey, hoping to reach the bottom of the mountain as soon as possible, but unfortunately, he was bitten by a venomous snake on his ankle. The intense pain rendered him immobile, and as night fell, the storm grew even fiercer. Knowing that staying on the mountain would have dire consequences, Aqiang, with no other choice, mustered his last ounce of strength to crawl back down the mountain, step by painful step. After hours of arduous struggle, he finally returned home. His mother, upon seeing his injuries, was heartbroken. Despite his ordeal, Aqiang felt grateful to be alive. He understood that in desperate situations, sometimes making a difficult choice is the only way to survive.
