Origin Story
话说唐朝时期,一位名叫李白的诗人,在一次外出游历途中,遭遇了山贼的袭击。他被山贼们围困在一个山洞里,四周都是悬崖峭壁,根本没有逃生的可能。山贼们凶狠残暴,时刻准备着取人性命。但李白并未放弃求生的希望,他冷静地分析了周围的环境,发现山洞里有一条细小的裂缝。这条裂缝非常狭窄,只能容一个人侧身通过。于是他决定冒险一试,他利用随身携带的工具,一点点地扩大裂缝,最终成功地从裂缝中逃脱了,从而死中求生。
During the Tang Dynasty, a poet named Li Bai encountered bandits while traveling. They surrounded him in a cave surrounded by cliffs, offering no escape. The bandits were cruel and ready to kill. However, Li Bai didn't give up hope. He calmly analyzed the surroundings and found a narrow crack in the cave. This crack was so small that only one person could pass through sideways. He decided to risk it, enlarging the crack with his tools, and finally escaped.
