我嘴硬可我心软
[wŏ zuĭ yìng kĕ wŏ xīn ruăn]
Literal translation: 'My mouth's stubborn, but my heart's soft' highlights contrast between outward demeanor and hidden true feelings. Externally, this character maintains strength in words while inside harbors a gentle, kind nature easily moved or influenced. Reflects the internal battle or disconnection individuals sometimes feel regarding presenting toughness versus embracing gentleness.
