浅水湾的鱼深水港的虾
[qiăn shuĭ wān de yú shēn shuĭ găng de xiā]
'Fish in Shallow Water Bay and Shrimp in Deep Port' metaphorically describes individuals who feel out of place or ill-fated because of their different circumstances; like creatures from different depths living separate lives within close proximity yet worlds apart. Meanwhile, it reflects an acceptance or even an embrace of such destiny despite hardships.
