孤守奈何桥独饮孟婆汤
[gū shŏu nài hé qiáo dú yĭn mèng pó tāng]
Translated as 'solitarily guarding Naihe Bridge and alone drinking Meng Po’s Soup'. In Chinese mythology, Naihe Bridge connects the realms of the living and dead while Meng Po is known as “the Goddess who erases memories”, her broth wipes away souls' worldly memories on their way to reincarnation. This portrays a solitary journey filled with bittersweet farewells, detachment from worldly possessions, and a willingness to move forward in life.
