北巷孤猫
[bĕi xiàng gū māo]
'Lonely Cat in the Northern Alley.' It paints an evocative image, symbolizing solitude or perhaps mystery, much like a stray cat prowling through less-traversed city spaces, specifically in a northern alley. In many stories or poems in Chinese, the northern area is associated with being cold, desolate yet poetic, adding more emotional weight to 'northern.'
