Tips

usage
牢不可破 typically describes abstract things, alliances, convictions, bonds, beliefs, rather than physical objects. For something physically indestructible, 坚不可摧 (jiān bù kě cuī) is more common.
memory
(firm/prison) + 不可破 (cannot be broken). Imagine something so firm it is like a prison wall that cannot be broken through.
