In the Tang Dynasty, there was a scholar named Li Bai, who had the dream of becoming a great poet since childhood. To achieve this dream, he worked diligently, day and night, studying hard and writing poetry. In the cold winter months, he studied hard under a thin quilt; in the hot summer, he sweated profusely, but he kept writing. Even when he was ill, he never gave up studying. After years of hard work, Li Bai finally became a great poet and left behind numerous immortal masterpieces. His diligence and perseverance became a role model for later scholars.
