北海以北深海未眠南城以南浅夏未过
[bĕi hăi yĭ bĕi shēn hăi wèi mián nán chéng yĭ nán qiăn xià wèi guò]
Translated as “North of the North Sea the deep sea hasn’t slept, South of Nan city, the early summer hasn’t gone by.” The nickname may reflect someone’s feelings of being stuck in-between two very different worlds or states (deep, unrestful versus light, transient); possibly evoking themes of longing, liminality and seasonal melancholy.
