长街旧人短巷新侣
[zhăng jiē jiù rén duăn xiàng xīn lǚ]
The phrase 'Long Street Old People, Short Street New Lovers' expresses a contrast in human relations. 'Long street' with its old people signifies deep, enduring relationships that have lasted for a long time, like an old street with many stories to tell. In contrast, the 'short street' with new couples suggests fresh, blossoming connections or fleeting romance. This name might imply that the person values both kinds of emotional ties - cherishing history but not closing out future possibilities.
