No one asked me if the porridge was warm, no one stood with me in the dusk.

It means that no one stands with me in the dusk, no one asks me if the porridge is warm. It can be interpreted as there is no one to hold hands in the evening to watch the sunset, and there is no one to shush me at home.

It is mainly used to describe the empty nest youth in a state of living alone, expressing the depression of being alone.

This passage is from the original text of Six Records of a Floating Life:

No one stood with me at dusk, no one asked me if the porridge was warm.

No one to turn out the light with me, no one to **** my book for half a lifetime.

No one to accompany me at night, no one to share wine with me.

No one to wipe my tears of longing, no one to dream of me and the dust of the past.

No one is with me to look after the stars, and no one is awake when my tea is cold.

No one to listen to my heart, no one to solve my dreams.

No one to detain me in tears, no one to worry about me traveling alone.

No one is waiting for me at the end of the night.
