猫有九条命只有一颗心鱼有一颗心只有七秒情
[māo yŏu jiŭ tiáo mìng zhĭ yŏu yī kē xīn yú yŏu yī kē xīn zhĭ yŏu qī miăo qíng]
Literally translated as 'Cats have nine lives but only one heart, while fish have only one heart with seven seconds of love', combining the folklore notion that cats possess multiple lives and the belief (incorrectly) that fish can remember for only seven seconds. In terms of feelings, it describes complex perspectives towards love and relationships—having many lives but one focused heart, versus brief moments of affection.
