爱情是刺人的玫瑰友情是迷人的百合
[ài qíng shì cì rén de méi guī yŏu qíng shì mí rén de băi hé]
Saying that 'Love is the Prickling Rose, Friendship is Captivating Lily'. Using flowers as a metaphor, it contrasts romance which comes with its challenges (thorns) and pure friendship that brings ease and beauty into one’s life.
