The story of Yu Gong
Once upon a time, there was an old man called Yu Gong. He was nearly 90 years old. There were two high mountains in front of his house, which made it difficult for his family to go out. So he decided to move the mountains.
An old man named Zhi Sou laughed at him and said he was too old to do it. But Yu Gong didn't give up. When he died, his sons and grandsons continued to move the mountains. Their spirit moved the god. Finally, the god sent two gods to help them move the mountains away.
