Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，有一个名叫李白的青年，自幼聪颖，熟读诗书，满腹经纶。然而，他怀才不遇，多年来四处奔波，却始终未能得到朝廷的赏识，只能以卖酒为生，过着清贫的生活，他的才华被埋没，无人知晓。李白经常感叹时运不济，但他并没有放弃自己的理想，继续创作诗歌，期望有朝一日能扬名天下。他用自己独特的视角，描绘了大自然的壮丽景色，抒发了对国家的热爱，对人民的同情。他的诗歌充满激情与浪漫，充满了对理想的追求。虽然当时他默默无闻，但他坚信，总有一天，他的诗歌将会传遍天下，他的名字将会被人们铭记。直到后来，他被唐玄宗召见，才得以展现他的才华，名扬天下，成为一代诗仙。这便是他人生的转折点，从默默无闻到名垂青史。
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a young man named Li Bai, who was intelligent from a young age, well-versed in literature, and had great knowledge. However, he was unfortunate in his career and spent many years wandering around, but he never got the appreciation of the court, he could only make a living by selling wine, living a poor life, his talent was buried, and no one knew him. Li Bai often lamented that his luck was bad, but he did not give up his ideals and continued to create poetry, hoping that one day he would be famous. He used his unique perspective to depict the magnificent scenery of nature, expressed his love for the country, and sympathy for the people. His poems are full of passion and romance, full of the pursuit of ideals. Although he was unknown at the time, he firmly believed that one day his poems would spread throughout the country, and his name would be remembered by people. It was not until later, when he was summoned by Emperor Xuanzong, that he was able to display his talent, become famous, and become a great poet immortal. This was the turning point of his life, from obscurity to fame.
