Origin Story
明朝时期,有个富家公子哥叫李公子,他生性喜好打扮,衣着华丽,整天与狐朋狗友厮混在一起,沉溺于酒色之中。他家财万贯,却从不务正业,每日里只知吃喝玩乐,挥金如土。他父亲多次劝诫他,希望他能改过自新,认真读书,为家族争光,但是李公子却置若罔闻,依然我行我素。终于有一天,他挥霍完了家里的所有财产,沦为穷光蛋,过着食不果腹的生活,这才后悔莫及。
During the Ming Dynasty, there was a wealthy young man named Li Gongzi. He loved to dress up, wore luxurious clothes, and spent his days with bad company, indulging in alcohol and women. His family had a vast fortune, but he never worked. Day after day, he only indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun, and wasted money like water. His father repeatedly warned him, hoping that he would change for the better, study diligently, and bring glory to his family, but Li Gongzi ignored him and remained true to his ways. Finally, one day, he had squandered all of his family's fortune, became penniless, and lived in poverty and hunger before he regretted his mistakes.
