连影子都在逃避
[lián yĭng zi dōu zài táo bì]
The phrase means 'Even shadows are fleeing.' It implies someone is in such a terrible situation that even their shadows, which typically always follow, cannot stay. In Chinese culture and literature, it often suggests deep sadness or the dire circumstances of one’s own fate, possibly expressing feelings of utter loneliness or being completely ostracized.
