Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，一位名叫李白的才子，因其诗词名扬天下，却不幸遭遇了政治迫害，不得不隐姓埋名，流落江湖。一日，李白来到一个偏僻的小村庄，偶然发现当地县令正为选拔人才而烦恼。县令听说来了位饱读诗书的才子，便将他请到衙门，想考考他的才华。李白不愿暴露身份，便假称自己名叫张三，并以张三的名义参加了考试。由于李白的才华出众，他轻而易举地通过了考试，并被县令委以重任。消息传出，人们纷纷称赞新县令的才学过人，却无人知晓这新县令其实就是大名鼎鼎的李白。李白利用冒名顶替的方式，暂时躲避了政治迫害，却也为此付出了代价：他必须隐瞒自己的身份，过着提心吊胆的生活。他时常怀念过去在长安的日子，但为了保护自己和家人，他不得不继续扮演张三的角色。直到多年以后，朝局发生变化，李白才敢重新回到长安，恢复了自己的身份。而这段冒名顶替的经历，也成为了他人生中一段隐秘而深刻的记忆。
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a talented man named Li Bai, whose poems and songs were well-known throughout the country. Unfortunately, he was politically persecuted and had to live incognito. One day, Li Bai came to a remote village and found that the local magistrate was worried about selecting talents. The magistrate heard that a well-read scholar had arrived and invited him to the government office to test his talent. Li Bai didn't want to reveal his identity, so he pretended to be Zhang San and took the exam under Zhang San's name. Because of Li Bai's outstanding talent, he easily passed the exam and was appointed to an important post by the magistrate.
