Answer

As you can see, in the picture, an old man along with his family is breaking up rocks and carrying the earth. They are trying to remove the mountains standing near his home.

The story, from an ancient Chinese idom, goes like this: once upon a time, there lived an old man who was nearly 90 years old. His home faced two high mountains, making it inconvenient for him and his family to get around. Troubled by the great inconvenience, the old man discussed with his family and decided to remove the mountains which blocked the way. They kept moving them day after day.

Of course, things are totally different today. With society developing, we can build a road or tunnel rather than remove the mountains. But what is reflected in the story counts. It tells us that whatever difficulty we meet, we should never give up. If we don’t have the courage and determination to overcome every difficulty, nothing will be accomplished.
