南有孤岛北有暖阳
[nán yŏu gū dăo bĕi yŏu nuăn yáng]
'An Isolated Island in the South and Warm Sunshine in the North' paints vivid natural pictures, where the former might represent loneliness, isolation, or independence, and the latter, hope, warmth, or good things. The nickname could reflect two distinct aspects or times/phases in the holder's life; the island might hint at the low or secluded phase while warm sunshine suggests better days ahead.
