        Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. It can grow 60 cm or more every day. No matter how strong the wind or heavy the snow is in winter, bamboo stands straight and grows fast. Chinese people see this as bamboo's spirit. It is about being brave enough to overcome difficulties. Because of this, bamboo has been loved by Chinese people for a long time. They call bamboo, along with the pine tree and plum blossoms, the "three cold-resistant friends of winter".
