My Chinese #cql stan mum texted me today about where #LanSizhui's name is from - a saying that goes 思君不可追, 念君何时归.

Means roughly, thinking (思) of a gentleman/lord (君) but cannot pursue/chase/follow (追), missing (念) but (not knowing) when (何时) will return (归).

@3ysz_

of interest to you perhaps, hope I didn't butcher that

@yesterday_ying saw your breakdown of JL's name, and thought of this!

Which, damn, Wangji... that's some peak pining...

Just to clarify that’s missing as in “I miss you” not missing as in “lost and can’t be found”.
