Books Teaching This Pattern
Evidence

"When a bamboo sprouts from the ground and enters the public’s view, we should know that it must have experienced harsh cold, the melting of ice and snow, gathering sufficient variables and potential energy."
"Following Li Shufu’s direction, it turned out the bamboo roots on the mountain had grown above ground in many places. Those in the know quickly explained to Li Shufu: “These bamboo roots need to grow underground for five years before emerging above ground, then they grow further from there.”"
"Li Shufu was born in 1963 in southern Zhejiang. It is said that the adventurous gene naturally flows in the blood of the local people."
