The longing of later years is called
savoring the evening.

The etymology of evening
to remove the day from one’s life.
The daily noise of the past—let it go where it can be let go.
From here on, focus only on what you do best
and what you care about most.

The meaning of evening:
from merely getting through the days
to truly living a life.

Related expression:
different evenings, different resonances.

By extension:
Every year on the eve of the Lunar New Year,
China Central Television airs a program called Spring Evening Gala.
So let us call the program on the eve of renewal
Late Spring.
