How can I find Images that can be reused while not violate copyright?
I follow the tips to use images from google
https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/29508?...
But I also noticed that there is a note:
"Before reusing content, make sure that its license is legitimate and check the exact terms of reuse. For example, the license might require that you give credit to the image creator when you use the image. Google can't tell if the license label is legitimate, so we don't know if the content is lawfully licensed."
How can I know whether an image is licensed and the license is legitimate? I follow the tips, but cannot find any information about the image nor its author.
Anyone can help me on how to find the original photo for free reuse? Or is there any other way to find a photo that can be reused freely for commercial purpose?

There isn't any way to be 100 percent sure, unless you have an authentic, original work that was published in the USA prior to 1923 (no longer copyrighted), or other works for which the copyright has expired or never existed. Works of the US government are not copyrighted under US laws. There are millions of copyright-free images, meaning you can do what you want with them, but it's up to you to find them and at least try to verify their publication date and country of origin. Copyright duration varies by country, although the international standard is "no less than 50 years", typically measured from date of publication or from the author's death.

The vast majority of what you find on the web remains copyright protected. All works are protected automatically unless the copyright holder has very specifically dedicated the work to the public domain, or provided something like a Creative Commons license.
You're best off trying to find a site that clearly hosts royalty free images, rather than searching via Google. Most of what you find on Google is actually still protected.
There are few if any images that can be used "freely" for commercial purposes.

Try searching flickr, go to advance search, then check off "Creative Commons only." Additionally, you can google "royalty free" or "Creative Commons" stock photo websites.
