时光她是个旧美人岁月他是把杀猪刀
[shí guāng tā shì gè jiù mĕi rén suì yuè tā shì bă shā zhū dāo]
This phrase means 'Time She Is An Old Beauty And The Years Are A Butcher Knife'. With a poetic style and rich imagery, it implies how times passes by, and the impact time has on our lives – we grow older, but not without stories and experiences that add to who we are. The metaphor portrays the passing years as powerful enough to drastically change one's appearance and life story.
