HSK 7
任⋯⋯ ，也⋯⋯
Using '任' to emphasize helplessness or unchangeability
Explanation
The structure '任⋯⋯也⋯⋯' expresses that no matter how the situation, matter or person stated in the first clause may be, the result in the latter clause remains unchanged, usually with a tone emphasizing helplessness, immovability, or determination. The first clause is usually a hypothetical clause with the word '任' (no matter), and the second clause has '也' (also) combined with a negative or negative-meaning verb. For example: '任他们怎么推，也推不动' (No matter how they push, they cannot push it).
