English Original
In the harsh winter, another snowstorm swept across the land.
Soaring over the boundless snowfield, a male eagle had but one aim: to find food.
With keen eyes, the strong eagle scanned the landscape, yet all he saw was endless white.
The temperature plummeted. His once-thick feathers now seemed thin and weak. Uttering a helpless, hopeless cry, he landed on a cliff.
The eagle had flown for an entire day without success...
Time shifted to the day before. After watching her mate fly from the nest, the female eagle gently gathered her two nearly frozen eaglets to her bosom, sheltering their small bodies beneath her broad wings.
Perhaps they wouldn't survive until spring, but she clung to a sliver of hope: what if their father returned with food?
One eaglet let out a feeble cry; the other was too weak to make a sound.
Nearby lay the skeleton of a rabbit—the male's last successful hunt before the snows came. This prey had sustained the family of four for ten days, picked clean to the bone. As the short day, which felt like a lifetime, drew to a close, the female still saw no sign of her mate. She felt one eaglet, huddled beneath her lukewarm feathers, growing colder.
Rather than watch her young die one by one, she decided to act. With her sharp beak, she tore open her own chest. Feathers, plucked by the icy wind, scattered around her. With her last strength, she whispered to her surviving eaglet: "Eat me..."
Outside, the male eagle, who had been standing watch, shook the snow from his wings. With a piercing cry, he mustered his strength, spread his wings, and launched back into the sky. He scanned the vast, white expanse below. Suddenly, a dark shape caught his eye.
He nosedived for a closer look. It was another gray rabbit.
The eagle swooped down upon it.
The rabbit did not flee or hide but remained crouched tightly in the snow.
The eagle seized and killed it with his sharp talons. As he prepared to fly off, the sight beneath the rabbit's body startled him: there lay four stiff, frozen baby rabbits.
Love is vast and profound, yet also cruel.

严冬之中，又一场暴风雪席卷了大地。
一只雄鹰在无垠的雪原上空翱翔，只有一个目标：寻找食物。
这只强壮的鹰用它敏锐的眼睛搜寻着，但映入眼帘的只有无尽的雪白。
气温骤降。它原本厚实的羽毛如今显得单薄无力。发出一声无助而绝望的长鸣后，它落在了一处悬崖上。
这只鹰已经飞行了整整一天，却一无所获……
时间回到前一天。目送丈夫飞离巢穴后，雌鹰温柔地将两只几乎冻僵的雏鹰拢到胸前，用她宽大的翅膀庇护着幼小的身躯。
或许它们撑不到春天，但她仍抱着一线希望：万一孩子的父亲带回了食物呢？
一只雏鹰发出微弱的叫声；另一只虚弱得连声音都发不出来。
近旁躺着一具兔子的骨架——那是大雪封山前雄鹰最后一次成功的猎物。这份猎物支撑了四口之家十天，如今已被啃食得只剩白骨。短暂的白昼漫长得像一生，天色将尽，雌鹰仍未看到丈夫归来的身影。她感觉到一只蜷缩在她尚存余温的羽毛下的雏鹰，正变得越来越冰冷。
与其眼睁睁看着两个孩子相继死去，她决定做点什么。她用锋利的喙撕开了自己的胸膛。羽毛被寒风吹散，四处飘零。她用尽最后的气力，对尚存一息的雏鹰低语：“吃了我吧……”
外面，伫立许久的雄鹰抖落了翅膀上的积雪。发出一声凄厉的鸣叫后，它竭尽全力展开双翼，再次冲上天空。它俯瞰着下方广袤的白色世界。突然，一个铅灰色的物体跃入眼帘。
它俯冲下去仔细查看。那是另一只灰色的兔子。
雄鹰向兔子扑去。
兔子没有逃跑或躲藏，只是紧紧蜷伏在雪地上。
雄鹰用利爪抓住并杀死了它。正当它准备飞走时，兔子身下的景象让它震惊了：那里躺着四只僵硬的小兔子。
爱，广阔而深沉，却也残酷。
