南思北归
[nán sī bĕi guī]
'南思北归' roughly translates into 'Thoughts Drifting South but Heart Set North'. Traditionally, it refers to a person thinking in one direction while physically moving toward another place, indicating a separation between where you reside and what your mind longs for, possibly suggesting unfulfilled desires or a metaphorical longing to return to roots or find inner peace amidst geographical dislocations.
