Half is sea water and half is flame. This sentence comes from the modern Chinese "Sea Flower". The original sentence is: "The sea has an end, the flame has an end, the life has an end, the desire has an end, the hate has an end, the love has an end, the sadness has an end, the joy has an end, where is the end?" It meant that life was like the ocean and flames, with its ups and downs. Just like the ocean had an end, so did people's desires and hatred.
