In ancient times, there was an upright scholar named Li Bai who was thrown into prison for offending corrupt officials. The corrupt officials tortured him to force a confession, but Li Bai, despite the pain, remained steadfast and refused to confess. The officials used every means possible, but Li Bai never gave in. Finally, the corrupt officials' plot was thwarted, and Li Bai was released without charges. This story reminds us that even in the face of torture, one must uphold justice and maintain their integrity.
