沙漏漏了一年又一年
[shā lòu lòu le yī nián yòu yī nián]
'The hourglass has dripped year after year' emphasizes the concept of the passage of time. The sand in the hourglass continuously passes down over the long span, which can imply both cherishing and nostalgia for the fleetingness and precious nature of time, reflecting upon changes or stasis in life as time elapses.
