Origin Story
在一个古老的村庄里，住着一位名叫阿福的年轻人。他继承了他爷爷留下的一座古老的房子，房子里堆满了各种各样的东西，从旧书籍到破旧的家具，再到各种各样的工具，简直是乱七八糟。阿福想整理一下这个房子，但是很快他就发现事情比他想象的要复杂得多。他试图一件一件地清理，但每清理一样东西，都会发现更多新的东西，还有更多错综复杂的关系。他发现有些旧书里夹着一些老照片，老照片里的人他又不认识。有些工具看似普通，但细看却发现做工精细，造型奇特。阿福开始意识到，这座房子里隐藏着一个复杂的故事，一个关于他家族的历史和秘密的故事，这是一个错综复杂的故事，他需要花费更多的时间和精力去慢慢解开。最终，在朋友的帮助下，阿福逐渐理清了房子的结构，了解了他家族的历史，也整理出了一个相对整齐的家。而这个整理的过程，正是他解开家族秘密，了解自己过去的过程。
In an ancient village, there lived a young man named A Fu. He inherited an old house from his grandfather, filled with all sorts of things, from old books and broken furniture to various tools, in a terrible mess. A Fu wanted to tidy up this house, but soon found that things were much more complicated than he had imagined. He tried to clean up things one by one, but each time he cleaned up one thing, he discovered more new things, and even more complex relationships. He found some old photos sandwiched in some old books, and he didn't recognize the people in the old photos. Some tools seemed ordinary, but a closer look revealed that they were finely crafted and uniquely shaped. A Fu began to realize that this house hid a complex story, a story about the history and secrets of his family, a tangled story that would require more time and effort to unravel slowly. In the end, with the help of his friends, A Fu gradually sorted out the structure of the house, learned about his family history, and also made a relatively tidy home. This process of tidying up was exactly how he solved the family's secrets and understood his past.
