烈酒暖泪清酒暖心旧灯老路难忘旧人
[liè jiŭ nuăn lèi qīng jiŭ nuăn xīn jiù dēng lăo lù nán wàng jiù rén]
Strong liquor warms the tears; clear liquor warms the heart, under old lamps along old paths, the past lingers. The phrase reflects nostalgia with hints of sorrowful yet warming memories. Drinking spirits can bring forth deep emotions while retracing old steps rekindles thoughts of cherished past experiences or people.
