苟且偷生的人忘了诗与远方
        
            [gŏu qiĕ tōu shēng de rén wàng le shī yŭ yuăn fāng]
        
        
            'The person living by expediency forgets poetry and the far-off lands.' This reflects someone prioritizing immediate, mundane survival over loftier, poetic aspirations and ideals, often criticizing an overly pragmatic lifestyle that neglects dreams.
