THE bird Jingwei trying to fill THE sea

THE bird lived on a mountain near THE sea. It hated THE sea so much that it decided to fill it up. Every day, it flew to and fro between THE mountain and THE sea, carrying in a twig or a pebble from THE mountain and dropping it into THE sea.

THE brave little bird kept carrying twigs and pebbles from THE mountain to THE Eastern Sea without taking a rest.

From this fable comes THE idiom "THE bird Jingwei trying to fill THE sea". We use it to describe people who are firm and indomitable and will not stop until THEy reach THEir goal. 精卫填海

精卫鸟住在靠海的一座山上。它非常恨大海，所以决心要把它填平。它每天来回于山海之间，把从山上衔来的小树枝和小石子扔在大海里。

这只勇敢的小鸟继续从山上衔来小树枝和小石子，扔到东海中，从未有片刻休息。

"精卫填海"这个成语就是由这个传说而来的，形容那些坚定不移，不屈不挠，不到目的决不罢休的人。
