乄男人似烟烟涩苦乄女人如花花带刺
[nán rén sì yān yān sè kŭ nǚ rén rú huā huā dài cì]
'Men Are Like Smoke, Bitter and Harsh; Women Are Like Flowers, Beautiful but Thorns Exist'. Uses metaphor about sexes - comparing men's charm fading like smoke (unattainable), women's beauty having underlying toughness (like roses). Implies complexities of both genders relationships and societal roles.
