The set of drawings above vividly depicts the destiny of aflower in different circumstance
s. As is shown in the first cartoon, the flower is placed in acomfortable greenhouse that
shelters it from the threatening lightning andstorm. With proper temperature, moisture and
fertilizer, the flower is growingin full bloom. On thecontrary, when removed from the gre
enhouse and exposed to the drivingrain, the flower soon fades and withers, with the petals
scattered on theground.　　To begin with, the purpose of the drawings is to show us thatthe
flower growing in the green house cannot withstand the test of the storm, yet the symboli
c meanings subtlyconveyed should be taken more seriously. The delicate flower is naturally
associated withyoung people, to be specific,the only children in our current society; the
greenhouse epitomizes parents' dotingcare and abundant material supplies that can shield
the children from thestorms, or the harsh reality. Oncethe young people begin to seek inde
pendence and accept challenges from the realworld, they are found too spoiled to be strong
enough in the face ofdifficulties.　　Accordingly, it is vital for us to derive positiveimp
lications from these thought-provoking drawings. On the one hand, we canfrequently use the
m to enlighten the youth to be more independent inlife. On the other hand,parents should b
e sensibleenough to give their children more freedom to deal with troubles andproblems. On
ly byundergoing more challenges and toils in adversity can young people cultivatestrong pe
rsonality and ability, and only in this way can they becomewinners in this competitive wor
ld.
