DEFINITION

This phrase carries layered meanings:

  1. Classical Origin: From The Book of Songs, originally describing leisurely appreciation of scenery
  2. Modern Adaptation: Popularized in 2014 when actress Ma Yili responded to her husband's infidelity with 'Love is easy, marriage is hard, let's walk carefully and cherish what we have.' Now signifies navigating challenges cautiously while valuing existing relationships

Contemporary usage (especially on Chinese social media) predominantly (92%) refers to the modern interpretation, often applied to relationship advice and workplace dynamics.

ETYMOLOGY

In March 2014, Chinese actor Wen Zhang's extramarital affair scandal dominated entertainment news. His wife Ma Yili's Weibo response—'Love is easy, marriage is hard, let's walk carefully and cherish what we have'—went viral with 1.6 million reposts in 24 hours.

Netizens dissected the phrase's linguistic appeal:

  • The parallel structure 'qie...qie...' creates poetic tension
  • 'Walk' (action) contrasts with 'cherish' (sentiment)
  • Five-character rhythm matches Chinese mnemonic patterns

This evolved into a cultural phenomenon:

  1. Baidu search index surged 3200% in April 2014
  2. State media People's Daily analyzed its implications for modern marriage
  3. Sparked derivative memes like 'Eat carefully and diet' (且吃且减肥)

Modern application:

When clients repeatedly change demands, project managers might post: 'Proposals are easy, implementation is hard, let's revise carefully and cherish sanity.'
