Origin Story
年轻的画家李白，才华横溢，却对功名利禄毫无兴趣。他留着长发，穿着破旧的衣衫，整天游荡在山水之间，写生作画。他挥毫泼墨，画出他对自然的热爱和对生活的感悟，却从不为官场的黑暗所诱惑。一次，一位达官贵人慕名而来，想请他入朝为官，许以高官厚禄。李白却哈哈一笑，说：“我的人生，不需要那些条条框框的束缚，我只想自由地生活，做自己想做的事。”说完，他便转身离去，继续他的艺术旅程。他这种玩世不羁的生活方式，让很多人不解，也有人敬佩他追寻自由的勇气。
The young and talented painter Li Bai had no interest in fame and fortune. He kept his long hair, wore old clothes, and wandered among mountains and rivers, painting and sketching. He painted his love for nature and his insights into life, but he was never tempted by the darkness of the court. Once, a high-ranking official came to invite him to the court, promising high office and wealth. Li Bai laughed and said, "My life doesn't need any constraints, I just want to live freely and do what I want." With that, he turned and left, continuing his artistic journey. His carefree lifestyle was misunderstood by many, but some admired his courage to pursue freedom.
