Story Transcript:
Zh: 秋天的丽江古城，空气中弥漫着桂花的香味。
En: In the autumn of Lijiang Ancient Town, the air is filled with the scent of osmanthus flowers.
Zh: 月圆夜，天上挂着一轮明月，照亮了石板路。
En: On a full moon night, a bright moon hangs in the sky, illuminating the cobblestone streets.
Zh: 古城的街道两旁挂满了色彩斑斓的灯笼，
En: Colorful lanterns are hung along both sides of the ancient town's streets.
Zh: 热闹的集市上，人来人往，大家都在为中秋节做着准备。
En: In the bustling market, people come and go, all preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Zh: 在这个热闹的夜晚，李伟站在巷子口，手里捧着一个还没点燃的灯笼。
En: On this lively night, Li Wei stood at the entrance of an alley, holding an unlit lantern.
Zh: 李伟是一个刚到丽江工作的年轻人，他常常感到孤独，想念远方的家。
En: Li Wei is a young man who just came to Lijiang to work, and he often feels lonely, missing his distant home.
Zh: 在这个欢庆的时刻，他却觉得自己像个局外人。
En: During this festive time, he felt like an outsider.
Zh: 李伟在街上徘徊。
En: Li Wei wandered the streets.
Zh: 他看见一家店铺门口，梅玲正在忙碌。
En: He saw Mei Ling busy at the entrance of a store.
Zh: 梅玲是土生土长的丽江人，她对每一个节日的传统都了如指掌，
En: Mei Ling is a native of Lijiang and knows all about every festival tradition.
Zh: 也喜欢在节日里迎接和帮助新来的人。
En: She also enjoys welcoming and helping newcomers during festivals.
Zh: 李伟注意到梅玲笑容满面，和家人一起将一个个灯笼挂起。
En: Li Wei noticed Mei Ling with a smiling face, hanging up lanterns with her family.
Zh: “你好，需要帮忙吗？”梅玲靠近李伟，打破了他的沉默。
En: "Hello, do you need some help?" Mei Ling approached Li Wei, breaking his silence.
Zh: 李伟犹豫了一下，点了点头。
En: Li Wei hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Zh: “那我们一起点亮灯笼吧！”梅玲说。
En: "Then let's light the lantern together!" Mei Ling said.
Zh: 李伟点燃了手中的灯笼，看着它随着热气慢慢升起。
En: Li Wei lit the lantern in his hand, watching it slowly rise with the heat.
Zh: 他的心也随之轻松了一些。
En: His heart felt a little lighter too.
Zh: 夜色渐深，许多人汇聚在广场上，准备放飞灯笼。
En: As the night deepened, many people gathered in the square, preparing to release the lanterns.
Zh: 梅玲把李伟拉到人群中央，微笑着对他说：“放心，大胆地放飞吧，这代表我们新的开始和希望。”
En: Mei Ling pulled Li Wei to the center of the crowd, smiling as she said, "Don’t worry, release it with confidence. This represents our new beginning and hope."
Zh: 李伟深吸一口气，和梅玲一起放飞了灯笼。
En: Taking a deep breath, Li Wei released the lantern with Mei Ling.
Zh: 灯笼明亮，徐徐上升，和其他灯笼一起装点了夜空。
En: The bright lantern gracefully ascended, decorating the night sky alongside the others.
Zh: 那一刻，李伟感到了一种久违的温暖和归属感。
En: In that moment, Li Wei felt a long-lost warmth and sense of belonging.
Zh: 在灯笼飞得越来越高的时候，李伟忽然觉得，丽江并不再陌生。
En: As the lantern rose higher and higher, Li Wei suddenly realized that Lijiang no longer felt unfamiliar.
Zh: 这座城，这些人，对他而言，也变得亲切而熟悉。
En: This town, these people, became dear and familiar to him.
Zh: 月亮的光辉照耀下，李伟的脸上绽开了笑容。
En: Under the moon’s glow, a smile spread across Li Wei's face.
Zh: 从那夜起，李伟决定积极参与更多的活动，认识更多的朋友。
En: From that night on, Li Wei decided to actively participate in more activities and meet more friends.
Zh: 他懂得，只要心开放，任何地方都可以成为新的家。
En: He understood that as long as his heart was open, any place could become a new home.
Zh: 梅玲的善意和灯笼的升起，带给了他莫大的勇气和希望。
En: Mei Ling's kindness and the rising of the lantern gave him great courage and hope.
Zh: 丽江的秋夜，有了家的味道。
En: The autumn nights of Lijiang had the taste of home.
