念旧的人总过得像个拾荒者
[niàn jiù de rén zŏng guò dé xiàng gè shí huāng zhĕ]
Literally meaning ‘Those who long for the past always live like scavengers’. This refers to someone who holds onto memories and past experiences deeply, finding solace in old objects and memories much like collecting discarded treasures from the streets.
