恋恋不舍 (liàn liàn bù shě): 分けるためらい

On the day we graduated from university, a few good friends and I hugged goodbye at the train station; everyone was reluctant to part, and tears were almost flowing.

The little girl was going to kindergarten for the first time; holding tightly onto her mother's hand, she looked back several times reluctantly and simply refused to walk into the classroom.

The holiday was over and I had to leave my hometown to return to the city for work. My grandmother stood at the village entrance, waving to me reluctantly until the car disappeared into the distance.

When the neighbor took this little dog away, it kept gazing reluctantly at its original owner, as if it knew it was about to leave this home.

On the last day of the trip, we sat by the sea watching the sunset; although we had to go back the next day, everyone was reluctant to leave this beach, and no one wanted to get up first.
