"No one sets the dusk with me, no one asks me if the porridge can be warmed." The whole poem is: No one sets the dusk with me, no one asks me if the porridge can be warmed, no one turns off the light with me, no one asks me if the porridge can be warmed. I have been studying for half my life. No one is with me. It’s late at night. No one shares the wine with me. No one wipes my tears of lovesickness. No one dreams about me and my past life. No one accompanies me to look at the stars. No one wakes me up. I’ve finished my tea. It's cold, no one listens to my heartfelt words, no one interprets the dreams in my heart, no one restrains the tears in my words, no one worries about me walking alone, looking back at the desolate place, no one is waiting in the dimly lit place.
From the Qing Dynasty writer Shen Fu's "Six Chapters of a Floating Life", it means that no one will enjoy the scenery at dusk with me, no one will ask me if the porridge is warm, and no one will extinguish the oil of the oil lamp with me. , and no one writes our life with me. This is to describe how lonely I am because I have no lover.
