七街老猫八巷老友

'Qi Jie Lao Mao Ba Xiang Lao You', translating into something like 'the old cat of Seventh Street and the old friend of Eighth Alley', captures long-term residence within city areas along with friendships cultivated through years. It conveys rootedness in a place, attachment to one's surroundings as well as cherishing relationships built over considerable amount of time in these settings.
