💡 Cultural Insight: Resignation and sighs over one's life ('zhe bei zi')

Chinese speakers often invoke 'zhe bei zi' (this lifetime) to lament the ups and downs of personal fate. Saying 'there is no chance left' reflects a sense of worldly weariness, compromise with reality, and a deep sigh over unfulfilled aspirations.
