AI Mona Lisa II: Qu Yuan (copyright law/public domain/poem)

Li Dongtao

The journey ahead is long and arduous,

I’ll do my best to carry on.

This is a sentence of the poem The Lament（Li Sao） created by Quyuan (about 340BC – 278BC).

We Chinese are proud today because our ancestors created poems more than 2,000 years ago.

Qu Yuan was the author, but like the painting Mona Lisa, this poem is also in the public domain now.

It can be used on the website of a D-library, for the purpose of encouraging users to read more books.

It can be also impressed on a new culture T-shirt designed by a fashion company, of courage and confidence.
