Stick 95 hands you Nüwa with mud on her hands.

It takes diligence and hard work to build a mountain.

Success is achieved through strong will and patience.

Never in idleness and lassitude should your life spend, For diligence and perseverance can a broken sky amend.

Story

Nüwa, The Sky Mender

Nüwa is one of China's most revered creator goddesses, known for two monumental acts. First, she created humanity by molding figures from yellow clay along a riverbank. When she grew tired of individual craftsmanship, she dipped a rope in mud and flung it around, with each droplet becoming a person. Her second great deed came when the sky cracked open after a cosmic battle, threatening to destroy the world. While other deities despaired, Nüwa gathered stones of five colors, melted them down, and painstakingly patched the broken heavens. This wasn't magic—it was backbreaking work that took immense dedication. Her story teaches that even divine beings must roll up their sleeves when faced with monumental challenges. In Chinese culture, she represents the belief that persistence and hard work can fix anything, even a broken sky.
