烈酒挽故人三句负情长
[liè jiŭ wăn gù rén sān jù fù qíng zhăng]
'Strong Liquor, Holding on to Old Acquaintances, Three Words Carrying Longing.' This suggests recalling old friends over a drink, using only a few words but loaded with long-repressed emotions, symbolizing the complexity between missing someone while also holding some form of grudge.
