盐不及泪咸药不及痛苦
[yán bù jí lèi xián yào bù jí tòng kŭ]
A poetic line that loosely translates to 'salt is not as salty as tears, medicine is not enough for pain'. It poetically depicts intense emotions where even salt is not as bitter as the sadness experienced by someone or how ordinary relief measures fail to address deep personal anguish.
