Pine trees remind us to stay strong and hopeful during hard times.

Millie: So it is. It teaches us not to give up when we face difficulties. We can carry on like the bamboo till the hard time passes.
David: Exactly. The same is true of pine trees. They stay green all year round, even in the cold winter.

Language points
2. As the poet Shelley wrote, “If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind
正如诗人雪莱所写：“冬天来了，春天还会远吗？”
雪莱（Percy Bysshe Shelley），英国著名的浪漫主义诗人，以《西风颂》等充满激情与想象力的诗作闻名。这里引用的是《西风颂》（"Ode to the West Wind"）中的一句。原诗中 Winter 和 Spring 的首字母大写，以拟人化的手法突出 “冬天” 和 “春天” 的象征意义。

What other plants do you know that can give you some life lessons
Further thinking
Plum blossoms
Plum blossoms bloom in freezing winter with heavy snow around them. They never fear low temperatures.
They teach us to be tough and optimistic. No matter how hard the situation is, we should keep brave and hold on to our hope.
Plum blossoms bloom in cold snowy winters. They encourage us to be brave and hopeful through hard times. Orchids grow in quiet valleys gracefully, teaching us to be modest and stay away from vanity. Chrysanthemums bloom in late autumn when other flowers die, reminding us to stick to our own character. Besides, small grass has amazing vitality. It can regrow after damage, which tells us ordinary people can also own strong spirits and never give in to setbacks
