Definition

可遇而不可求

Literally means:

can be found only by accident, not by seeking

Actually means:

It describes something that is so rare and valuable that it can only be obtained by chance rather than by seeking in any way possible. It can be used to describe a person or a thing and is applicable only to the merits.

指希奇、珍贵,难得,用尽办法寻求找不到,但是机会来了却可以找到。可用来形容人或事物,只适用于好的方面。

Example

Used as predicate, object or attributive. (作谓语、宾语、定语)

As the saying goes, "There is a thousand miles to meet, no chance opposite do not know each other." It can be seen that the combination of men and women depends on fate, and fate is often not available.
