凄唱奈何梦里重逢
[qī chàng nài hé mèng lĭ zhòng féng]
'Singing sadly, asking why can only meet again in dreams,' this phrase indicates the pain of longing to be reunited with someone, where the reality cannot grant this wish, so reunion or meetings occur only in dreams. It conveys deep-seated feelings of longing, helplessness, and sometimes sorrow because desires or hopes are met merely in fantasy.
