Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，有个名叫李白的书生，他从小就立志做一个堂堂正正的人。他勤奋好学，博览群书，学识渊博，文采斐然。但他并不恃才傲物，而是谦虚谨慎，待人接物总是彬彬有礼，以诚相待。有一天，他路过一个村庄，看到一群地痞流氓在欺压一个老农，老农无力反抗，只能默默忍受。李白见状，义愤填膺，挺身而出，仗义执言，斥责了这些地痞流氓，为老农讨回了公道。他堂堂正正的品格，赢得了村民们的敬佩和赞扬。从此，李白的名声传遍了四方，大家都称赞他是一个堂堂正正，光明磊落的君子。
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a scholar named Li Bai who, from a young age, was determined to be an upright person. He studied diligently, read widely, and was both learned and talented. But he was not arrogant, instead he was humble and cautious, treating people with politeness and sincerity. One day, he passed through a village and saw a group of thugs bullying an old farmer. The farmer was helpless and could only endure silently. Li Bai, filled with righteous indignation, stepped forward, bravely spoke out, and rebuked the thugs, helping the farmer obtain justice. His upright character won the respect and praise of the villagers. From then on, Li Bai's reputation spread far and wide, and everyone praised him as an upright and righteous gentleman.
