In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Li Bai, who was upright and talented throughout his life. He often traveled with a sword, avenging injustice and enjoying life to the fullest. Though sometimes his actions were unrestrained, he always maintained a pure heart, never bowing to the powerful, nor consorting with villains. Once, he was framed by powerful individuals and exiled to Yelang. During his exile, he remained optimistic and composed poems and paintings, finding solace in nature. He wrote many immortal works, such as "Will You Drink a Cup with Me?", which reflect his upright character. Even in adversity, he never gave up his ideals and beliefs, always maintaining high moral standards. His story inspires generations and sets an example of honesty and integrity.
