What is the significance of 女娲补天 beyond its literal meaning "Nüwa mends the sky"?
Beside the literal meaning, 女媧補天 can be cited as an example of &quot;ultimate benevolence and heroic feat&quot;
Currently, no human feat can be compared to 女媧補天, which is second only to 盤古開天 (creation of heaven and earth) and greater than even 大禹治水
The following would be a fitting comparison if it happened:

古有女媧補天，今有 (insert someone's name) 阻止全球暖化
In ancient time, Goddess Nüwa mended the sky ; In the present, we have (insert someone's name) stops the global warming
