话说唐朝时期，长安城里有一位名叫李白的年轻才子，他文采斐然，才华横溢，但家境贫寒。为了谋生，他四处奔走，结识了不少达官贵人。有一天，他听说朝廷要选拔人才，于是便前往应试。考试题目是：‘治理国家之道’。李白胸有成竹，挥笔疾书，写了一篇气势磅礴，充满智慧的策论。主考官阅卷后，对李白的才华赞赏不已，但是李白却因为出身寒微而未被选中。李白并未灰心，他继续努力，广交朋友，凭借着自己过人的才华和人脉，最终在朝廷找到了一个重要的职位。他凭借自己的聪明才智和广泛的人脉，为国家做了不少贡献。从此，李白的名声越来越大，人们都说他‘手眼通天’。
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a young scholar named Li Bai in Chang'an, who was blessed with extraordinary talent and literary skills, but came from a poor family. To make a living, he traveled around and met many influential figures. One day, he heard that the court was looking for talents, so he applied for a position. The exam topic was: ‘The principles of governance’. Li Bai was well-prepared and wrote a moving essay full of wisdom. The chief examiner was impressed by Li Bai's talent, but due to his humble background, he wasn't selected. Li Bai didn't give up hope. He worked hard, made many friendships, and eventually found an important position at the court thanks to his exceptional abilities and wide-ranging network. With his sharp mind and connections, he made valuable contributions to the country. His reputation grew, and people spoke of him as someone who 'has everything under control'.
