人生不仅如初见
[rén shēng bù jĭn rú chū jiàn]
The literal meaning is 'Life is more than just at first sight.' There may be nostalgia in this saying as well as a sense that real life contains far too many other things beyond the simple joy and surprise of meeting something or someone for the first time. This may also imply expectations and hopes for a long-term future.
