苦守轮回只为一眼红颜
[kŭ shŏu lún huí zhĭ wéi yī yăn hóng yán]
"Bitterly guard samsara for just a glimpse of beauty." Suggests enduring countless rebirths (or difficult situations) with the hope of seeing a beloved or beautiful person once more. Samsara refers to the cyclicality and continuous process of birth, death, and reincarnation as in many Eastern philosophies.
