人生中你会遇到三种人。第一种人，他们像叶子，只会在你身边一小段时间。如果有强风，他们很快就会离开你。他们不可靠，也不能依赖。第二种人，他们像树枝，这些人比叶子好一点，但你还是得小心。因为如果你太依赖他们，他们也可能会断掉。最后一种人像树根，他们是你最棒的朋友。他们总是支持你，就算有时候你看不到他们。我希望你们都能遇到你们的树根朋友。不管大风还是大雨，他们都会帮助你、陪伴你，给你力量。

English Translation
In life, you’ll meet three kinds of people. The first kind is like leaves—they’re around for a short time, but when the wind blows, they’re gone. You can’t rely on them. The second kind is like branches—they’re a bit better than leaves, but you still need to be careful. If you lean on them too much, they might snap. The last kind is like roots—they’re your true friends. They’re always there to support you, even if you can’t always see them. I hope you all find your root friends. No matter how tough things get, they’ll stand by you, help you, and give you strength.
