新患旧伤
[xīn huàn jiù shāng]
'新患旧伤' (xīn huàn jiù shāng), can be interpreted as ‘New Illnesses and Old Wounds’, indicating ongoing suffering mixed with past trauma, showing an identity entangled in a complex relationship with time, unable fully let go of pain either fresh or old, living in a loop of recurrent distress.
