Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，有个名叫李白的书生，才华横溢，却屡试不第。一次，他与好友在酒楼饮酒，听到邻桌一群官员在谈论朝政，言语之间尽是阿谀奉承，对百姓疾苦漠不关心。李白听了，心中愤愤不平，拍案而起，吟诵起自己创作的诗歌，抒发胸中郁闷之情。诗歌慷慨激昂，直指时弊，引得酒楼众人纷纷侧目。李白的朋友见状，劝他少说两句，以免招惹祸端。但李白却义愤填膺，坚持要为百姓鸣不平。最终，他被官兵带走，押入大牢。尽管如此，李白依然没有后悔，因为他觉得，即使身陷囹圄，也要坚持自己的理想，为正义而战。这便是他愤愤不平的真实写照。
In ancient China lived a talented scholar named Li Bai, whose brilliant writing was overlooked during the imperial examinations. One day, drinking with friends, he overheard officials at a nearby table discussing court affairs, their words filled with flattery and disregard for the suffering of the common people. Li Bai’s anger boiled. He stood up, his voice ringing with righteous indignation, reciting his poems to voice his outrage. The tavern erupted. His friends warned him of the danger but Li Bai, his heart aflame with justice, refused to back down. Eventually, he was imprisoned for his boldness. Yet, even in jail, he had no regrets, for he felt he had done the right thing.
