故人以北爱荒凉时间以北慕南城
        
            [gù rén yĭ bĕi ài huāng liáng shí jiān yĭ bĕi mù nán chéng]
        
        
            Translates to 'Beyond The Past Lies Barren Love, Beyond Time I Long for the Southern City.' This is an emotionally laden expression that connotes missing a city from past times or previous relationships, signifying bittersweet nostalgia and lingering longing despite geographical distances or time gaps.
