From the 97th sentence of "Li Sao" written by Qu Yuan.
Quote: Although the path to the destination is unclear, I will seize the opportunity to explore it.
"Li Sao" is a magnificent lyric poem, which enjoys a high status in the history of Chinese literature. This famous work was written when Qu Yuan was exiled to the south of the Yangtze River. It is an expression of sorrow and anger by the poet full of patriotic passion. Qu Yuan felt that his way of governing the country could not be accepted by the King of Chu, so he had to walk away sadly and angrily to seek the ideal way of life. He used romantic techniques in this poem and gave a lyrical description: He set off from Cangwu in the morning and arrived at Xuanpu in the evening. How tiring it must be after a day of running around! I wanted to take a short rest outside the palace gate, but I couldn't! Time was running out and it was almost dark. I begged Xihe not to drive any further. The concubine was already in front of me, so don’t get close to it! The journey ahead of us is so long and far away. I have determined to persevere in finding the ideal way of life.
