时光是个旧美人岁月是把杀猪刀
[shí guāng shì gè jiù mĕi rén suì yuè shì bă shā zhū dāo]
'Time is an old beauty, and age is a butcher's knife.' This poetic expression contrasts the passing of time with its harsh effects. The 'old beauty' represents past charm, while a 'butcher’s knife' symbolizes time’s brutal passage on beauty.
