海市蜃楼梦
[hăi shì shèn lóu mèng]
In English, this could be 'A Mirage Dream From The Sea City'. Often linked to elusive fantasies or unobtainable aspirations, it paints vivid pictures of fleeting beauty and distant dreams that are too good to be real. Yet, those holding onto mirages usually appreciate their ephemeral quality and cherish brief moments of perceived perfection despite the impossibility of sustaining these ideals in reality.
