There must be such a person around everyone: He will persevere to the end as long as he makes up his mind, and will not give up no matter what happens. To be honest, I admire the perseverance and determination of persons like this. How can we use Chinese idioms to describe this personality trait?
風雨無阻(fēng yǔ wú zǔ): come rain or shine
- 風fēng: wind, news, style, custom, manner
- 雨yǔ : rain
- 無wú : not to have, no, none, not, to lack, un-, -less
- 阻zǔ: to hinder, to block, to obstruct
Meaning:
It cannot be stopped even by wind and rain. A person’s determination is so strong that it cannot be resisted no matter what the weather is.
