叹息撒落一地
[tàn xī sā luò yī dì]
The translation of this Chinese idiom can loosely convey 'sighing leaves are scattered all over the ground.' It creates imagery of deep sighs being let out during difficult times, much like shedding invisible, tangible objects onto the ground. Often evoking feelings of sorrow or disappointment after a heavy-hearted period, similar to autumn leaves falling.
