南城以南温暖如初北海以北半度温凉
[nán chéng yĭ nán wēn nuăn rú chū bĕi hăi yĭ bĕi bàn dù wēn liáng]
This translates to 'To the south of the southern city remains warm just like before; to the north of the northern sea there's barely any warmth left at all.' This evokes contrasting feelings: stability vs. instability or familiarity against isolation/distance in terms of places, relationships, or emotions. One part feels secure while another part feels lonely.
