北城以北心坟亡鱼
[bĕi chéng yĭ bĕi xīn fén wáng yú]
'Beyond the Northern City, Lost Heart Grave and Dead Fish': The title creates a desolate image of a lost soul, possibly mourning lost love and emotional numbness. This kind of metaphor is often found in contemporary Chinese literature, indicating loneliness or heartache.
