A sudden tsunami destroyed their home. In order to save the villagers, Ah Hai unfortunately disappeared. A Ya, who had lost her lover, was heartbroken, but she firmly believed that Ah Hai was still alive. So she embarked on a journey to find Ah Hai. She had traveled all over the mountains and seas, but she had never found any trace of Ah Hai. Even so, Ah Ya had never given up hope. She continued to move forward to an even more distant place. Until she came to a place called the ends of the earth. There, Ah Ya found a strangely-shaped boulder with her and Ah Hai's names carved on it. Her tears fell on the rock. Suddenly, the rock split open and an old man walked out. The old man told Ah Ya that Ah Hai had been brought to another world by Hai Shui, but he had been protecting her until she came here.

From then on, Ah Ya stayed at the ends of the earth, calling out Ah Hai's name to the sea every day. Her story touched the world and everyone who heard it. People believed that as long as there was love in their hearts, they could feel each other's existence even if they were separated by the ends of the earth.
** Two, Love Obstructed Version **
It was said that there was a man and a woman in the distant mainland. They were childhood sweethearts, but when they grew up, their families did not allow them to marry, so they fled to Hainan Island. In front of them was the vast sea, and behind them were the servants chasing after them. The two had no way to find their way. In order to be together forever, the two of them hugged and ran towards the sea. At this moment, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The wind and rain raged. With a boom, everyone was struck into stones. It was said that the two boulders with the words "Tianya" and "Haijiao" carved on them were the lovers of that year, and the small stones surrounding them were the servants.
** 3. The literary allusions related to Han Yu and Shi Erlang **
Han Yu's father died when he was two years old, and not long after, his mother passed away. It was his brother Han Hui and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Zheng, who raised him. Han Hui had an heir named Old Cheng, who was 12th in rank. His nickname was Shi Erlang, and he was a little younger than Han Yu. When Han Hui was forty-two years old, he was demoted to the governor of Shaozhou due to the involvement of Prime Minister Yuan Zai. He died of illness in Shaozhou within a few months. That year, Han Yu was only eleven years old, and Shi Erlang was also very young. Although Han Yu had three older brothers, they all died early. After that, the Han family only had Han Yu and his nephew, Twelfth Lang. When Han Yu was 19 years old, he went to the capital from Yi City. In the next ten years, he only met Twelfth Lang three times. Unfortunately, Shi Erlang had passed away when he was young. When Han Yu learned of this news, he was heartbroken and wrote a "Sacrifice to Shi Erlang." In the eulogy, there was a sentence: "One is at the edge of the sky, the other is at the corner of the earth." This was the origin of the allusion " the ends of the earth ", which was used to describe extremely distant places or places that were extremely far apart.
