Tips

usage
Both literal (long-leaf evergreen plants) and figurative - 长青树 ("evergreen tree") is a stock metaphor for a celebrity, brand, or relationship that stays popular/healthy across decades. Note: in mainland Chinese 常青 is the more common spelling for the literal botanical sense; 长青 leans poetic/celebratory.
