Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，一位名叫李白的诗人，在一次外出游历时，误入了一片深山老林。山路崎岖，林木茂密，他迷失了方向。天色渐暗，狂风暴雨骤然而至，他躲进一个山洞里避雨。可是山洞里潮湿阴冷，风声呼啸，他感到绝望。这时，他发现山洞深处竟然有一条隐藏的小路。李白心中燃起希望，他顺着小路小心翼翼地走着，走了许久，终于走出了深山，回到了村庄。他经历了生死攸关的时刻，最终绝处逢生。
In the Tang Dynasty, a poet named Li Bai, while traveling, mistakenly entered a deep mountain forest. The mountain path was rugged, the trees dense, and he lost his way. As darkness approached, a violent storm broke out, and he took shelter in a cave. But the cave was damp, cold, and the wind howled, causing him to despair. Then, he discovered a hidden path deep in the cave. Hope was ignited in Li Bai's heart. He cautiously followed the path. After a long time, he finally left the mountain and returned to the village. He had experienced a life-threatening moment, yet ultimately he escaped from death.
