What do you mean, stop at the lips and hide in the years?

"Stop with your lips and teeth and cover with years" means that some feelings can't be said, but can only be hidden in your heart and covered up by years. Fade away as time goes by.

"Stop" means stop, and "lip" means mouth. "Covering up" means burying.

This sentence comes from the line of the movie "Sweet Honey".

Extended data:

The film "Sweet Honey" was directed by Chen Kexin and starred by Maggie Cheung, Liming and Ceng Zhiwei. It was released on 1996.

1996 is the eve of Hong Kong's return to China and a year after the death of the great singer Teresa Teng. With the help of this special background, the film tells the story of the hard times of new immigrants in Hong Kong at the end of the 20th century, and Teresa Teng's song "Sweet Honey" runs through it, successfully capturing the * * * exchange feelings of China people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The plot of the film begins at 1986 and ends at 1995 when Teresa Teng died suddenly. Against the background of China's immigration tide, the historical changes in the ten years before Hong Kong's return to China are shown through Nobody.

The film won nine awards at the 16 Hong Kong Film Awards, the best drama at the Taiwan Golden Horse Award and the best film at the Seattle International Film Festival. 1997 was ranked second among the top ten best films in the world by Time magazine. In 2009, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China, a film screening was held in the Centennial Lecture Hall of Peking University, and the film Sweet Honey was analyzed in detail.

If strangers in Hong Kong only face the differences of regional customs, then what overseas drifters really feel is the deep-rooted pain of inferiority: the tragic situation of Bao Ge's inexplicable death in the street, and the discriminatory treatment of Li Qiao in the police car is undoubtedly the true embodiment of this situation. At this time, the homesickness proposition in China people's emotional texture has been displayed to a greater extent, and Teresa Teng's "Sweet Honey" is a symbolic support of this emotion, which touched the * * * communication emotion of China people in three places.
