朱伞深巷无故人
[zhū săn shēn xiàng wú gù rén]
'Under a Red Parasol in a Deep Alley without Familiar Faces' depicts a scene where one might have hoped to see familiar or dear people. Instead, there are none. A red parasol signifies warmth and protection, yet its presence in empty streets hints at feelings of solitude, estrangement or abandonment in an otherwise lively setting.
