南忘北念

[nán wàng bĕi niàn]
Combines four characters into a meaningful oxymoron - 'Nan Wang Bei Nian' literally translated as 'South forget, North think-of'. A beautiful metaphor referring perhaps to memories tied geographically where one has trouble forgetting the past ('South') while pondering new prospects in life or places ahead ('North').
