Jingwei fills up the sea
The god of sun has two daughters. They live in the heaven.
One day, the little daughter goes boating on the Eastern Sea. When she is enjoying the beautiful scene of the sea, a big wave comes, and overturns her boat. She falls into the water and drowns later. Although she is dead, her spirit turns into a beautiful bird. The bird always cries: “ Jing wei, Jing wei.” So people call it Jingwei.
Jingwei hates the Eastern sea very much, because it takes away her life. So she decides to take revenge on the Eastern sea. She carries little stones and twigs in her mouth and throws them into the sea every day. She wants to fill up the sea!
The sea laughs and says: “ My little bird, don’t do this stupid thing anymore. You will never fill me up!”
The bird says: “I will not give up even if it takes me one million years.”

精卫填海
太阳神有两个女儿。她们住在天堂里。
一天，小女儿去东海划船。当她正在欣赏大海的美丽景色时，一个大浪来了打翻了她的船。
她掉进了水里然后淹死了。虽然她死了，她的精神变成了一只美丽的鸟。这只鸟总是喊着：“精卫，精卫。” 所以人们就叫它精卫鸟。
精卫非常恨东海，因为它夺走了她的生命。所以她决定报复东海。每天，她嘴里衔着小石头和树枝并把它们扔到海里。 她想填平大海！
大海嘲笑着说：“我的小鸟，不要再做这种愚蠢的事了。 你永远也填不平我的。“
小鸟说：“即使花费我一百万年的时间，我也不会放弃！”
