Origin Story

李奶奶去世了，村里人都很怀念她。她年轻时总是笑眯眯的，音容笑貌至今让人难忘。记得小时候，李奶奶经常在村口的大树下织毛衣，孩子们围着她，听她讲故事。她声音温柔，笑声爽朗，音容笑貌永远定格在我的记忆中，像一幅美好的画卷。村里人都说，李奶奶是村里最善良的人，她总是乐于助人，笑脸盈盈地帮助他人。她离世后，村里人一起种了一棵大树，以纪念她，也表达对她的怀念。每当看到这棵树，我仿佛又看到了李奶奶音容笑貌，听到了她爽朗的笑声。

Grandma Li passed away, and the villagers all missed her very much. When she was young, she always smiled, and her appearance and demeanor are still unforgettable. I remember when I was young, Grandma Li often sat under the big tree at the entrance of the village knitting sweaters, and the children would gather around her, listening to her tell stories. Her voice was gentle, her laughter hearty, her appearance and demeanor forever fixed in my memory, like a beautiful painting. The villagers all said that Grandma Li was the kindest person in the village; she was always willing to help others, smiling and helping others. After her death, the villagers planted a large tree together to commemorate her and express their remembrance of her. Whenever I see this tree, I seem to see Grandma Li's appearance and hear her hearty laughter.
