Origin Story

话说唐朝时期，有一位名叫李白的著名诗人，他一生才华横溢，写下了许多千古流传的名篇。然而，他性格豪放不羁，常因饮酒过度而惹出一些麻烦。一次，李白和朋友们在长安城郊的一家酒楼饮酒作乐，兴致正浓时，突然听到有人喧哗，原来是几个泼皮无赖在闹事，扰乱了酒楼的秩序。李白的朋友们劝他息事宁人，但李白却性情中人，仗义执言，上前去制止那些泼皮无赖。结果，李白被他们打伤了，朋友们赶紧将他送回家中。李白躺在床上，回想刚才的事情，不禁感到有些后悔，不该贸然冲上去，但转念一想，自己见义勇为，虽然被打伤，但也是在所难免的，心中便释然了。从此以后，李白更加注意自己的言行举止，但他的侠义之心却从未改变。他仍然坚持着自己的原则，不畏强权，为弱者发声。他明白，在人生的道路上，有些挫折和伤痛是难以避免的，但他更珍惜能够为正义而战斗的机会。李白的故事告诉我们，虽然在生活中难免会遇到一些挫折和磨难，但只要我们坚持自己的原则，勇敢地面对挑战，就能最终获得成功。即使有些错误和伤害是无法避免的，我们也不应该因此而灰心丧气。李白的经历也告诉我们，做人要正直，要勇敢，要敢于承担责任，这些都是十分重要的品质。

During the Tang Dynasty, there was a famous poet named Li Bai, who was gifted and wrote many immortal poems. However, he was known for his unrestrained and unruly nature, often getting into trouble due to excessive drinking. Once, while enjoying a drinking party with friends in a tavern on the outskirts of Chang'an, a commotion broke out – several ruffians were causing trouble. Li Bai's friends advised him to ignore it, but Li Bai, being a man of strong character and a sense of justice, stepped in to stop the hooligans. Consequently, he was injured. As Li Bai lay in bed recovering, he reflected on the incident. Although he regretted his rash actions, he reasoned that his injuries were inevitable given his righteous intervention. He realized that life is full of inevitable setbacks and hurts, but that doesn't diminish the importance of fighting for justice. He remained committed to his principles and continued to fight for the weak, never fearing power. This story exemplifies the idiom "zai suo nan mian" – some things are unavoidable; facing them with courage is more important.
