Qu Yuan is my favorite ancient writer. I like him for two reasons.
First, he write a very famous composition called LiSao. It is the longest lyric in China. Most Chinese not only remember but also use a few sentences from Li Sao. Second, he is also a very famous politician. He loves the people and carries out many policies to benefit the people.
It's a pity thing that he choose to end his life by ***. In order to commemorate him, we have the traditional Chinese festival called Dragon Boat Festival.
