Origin Story

话说唐朝时期，有个名叫李白的书生，他胸怀大志，满腹经纶，却屡试不第。他目睹朝政腐败，官场黑暗，许多有才能的人被埋没，而那些阿谀奉承的小人却飞黄腾达。他看透了世态炎凉，对官场黑暗感到无比愤慨，于是他写下许多诗歌，痛斥时弊，表达自己对社会的不满和对不公正现象的憎恨。他的诗歌豪放不羁，充满激情，字里行间都流露出他那愤世嫉俗的情感。他常常独自一人坐在江边，望着滔滔江水，心中充满无限的感慨。虽然他生活贫困，但他始终保持着高尚的节操，不肯与世俗同流合污。他的朋友劝他入仕，但他却坚决拒绝，宁愿过着清贫的生活，也不愿向权贵低头。最终，他以他独特的个性和不屈不挠的精神，成为一代诗仙，名垂青史。他的故事成为了后世人们学习的榜样，他的精神激励着一代又一代的人们为正义而奋斗。

In the Tang Dynasty, there lived a scholar named Li Bai, who had great ambition and vast knowledge, but repeatedly failed the examinations. He witnessed the corrupt government and the darkness of the officialdom. Many talented people were overlooked, while flattering villains rose to power. He saw through the coldness of the world and the darkness of the officialdom and was deeply indignant. Thus he wrote many poems denouncing the abuses of power and expressing his discontent with society and his hatred of injustice. His poems were wild and unrestrained, full of passion, and between the lines, he expressed his cynical attitude. He often sat alone by the river, gazing at the raging waters, his heart filled with deep feelings. Although he lived in poverty, he always maintained his high character and refused to compromise with the world. His friends advised him to enter the civil service, but he resolutely refused, preferring to live in poverty than to bow to the powerful. Eventually, with his unique personality and unyielding spirit, he became a legendary poet who went down in history. His story became a role model for posterity, and his spirit inspired generations of people to fight for justice.
