I'm glad to introduce bamboo to you. In China, bamboo has a special meaning. We always see bamboo as the symbol of persistence.
Bamboo grows in the south of China. It can grow very tall. In spring, baby bamboo comes out of the earth, and we call it sun. We can cook dishes with it. It is very delicious. In summer and autumn, it grows taller and taller with green leaves. However, it isn't like other trees. It's hollow inside its body.
People will cut bamboo down to make furniture when it is tall enough. People also like to draw bamboo to show its spirit.
Yours，
Li Hui
