花无百日红

花无百日红

Literally means:

no flowers can stay in blossom for over one hundred days

Actually means:

prime time doesn't last long

Full blossoms usually do not last long. Bai Ri does not necessarily mean one hundred days, but connotes a longer time.

The phrase figuratively means one's prime time is short, or bloom occurs rarely or it doesn't last long. This phrase sometimes expresses a lament over the fact that the world changes fast and beautiful things do not last long.

花盛开的时间一般不会很长。百日，不是一百天，而是泛指较长的时间。

比喻青春短暂，好景不常有或不长在。有时用来感慨世事变化很快，好的东西总是不能长久，这时含有伤感的意味。
