What is true friend?? What do you think of true friend ?? And about "make friends" proverb. I think --->>a true friend is known in the day of adversity. (苦难才能看出真正的朋友。) proverb --->>>the friendship between men of virtue is light like water, yet affectionate; he friendship between men without virtue is sweet like wine, yet easily broken. (君子之交淡若水,小人之交甘若醴;君子淡以亲,小人甘以绝。)
