A long, long time ago, there was a tribal chief named Yan Di. Yan Di had a very lovely little daughter named Nü Wa. Nü Wa was intelligent and clever, and was deeply loved by everyone.
Nü Wa was full of curiosity about the outside world, especially the vast and surging sea. One day, despite the dissuasion of her family, Nü Wa rowed a small boat alone towards the sea. The sea seemed calm and beautiful, and Nü Wa immersed herself in the embrace of the sea, enjoying this unprecedented experience to the fullest.
However, suddenly the sea became rough. The huge waves, like the hands of a devil, rushed towards Nü Wa's boat violently. Nü Wa paddled desperately, trying to fight against the waves, but she was too weak after all. In the end, the merciless sea swallowed Nü Wa, and she was drowned in the sea.
After Nü Wa died, her soul did not dissipate. Her heart was full of resentment towards the sea. She was unwilling to have her life taken away by the sea like this. So, Nü Wa's soul turned into a Jingwei bird. The Jingwei bird looks like a crow in appearance, but it has patterns on its head, a white beak and red claws, and it looks very tenacious.
The Jingwei bird swore to take revenge on the sea and decided to fill it up. So, every day, the Jingwei bird would fly to Fajiu Mountain, pick up a small stone or a small twig with its tiny beak. Then, it would tirelessly fly over countless mountains and rivers and throw the picked - up stones and twigs into the sea.
The sea is so vast, and the stones and twigs brought by the Jingwei bird are so insignificant compared to the sea. However, the Jingwei bird did not give up. Whether it was in the scorching summer or the freezing winter, the Jingwei bird kept repeating this action.
The behavior of the Jingwei bird moved many small animals. Some small animals came to ask the Jingwei bird, "The sea is so big. How can you possibly fill it up?" The Jingwei bird replied, "As long as I keep persevering, one day I will be able to fill it up." The small animals were touched by the Jingwei bird's indomitable spirit, and they also came to help one after another. Some helped to look for stones, and some helped to look for twigs.
Although until today, the sea has still not been filled up, the indomitable and never - give - up spirit of the Jingwei bird has been passed down forever, inspiring generations of people to move forward bravely in the face of difficulties.
