Where does "half sea water, half fire" come from? What exactly does it mean?

"Half Seawater, Half Fire" is the title of Wang Shuo's novel.

It means that when a man and a woman get together, they will be incompatible with each other, and there will always be disputes. But in the end, if they want to be together, either the water will evaporate in the fire, or the fire will be extinguished in the water. You must be tolerant to get along.

Introduction to "Half Fire, Half Sea"

In the first stage of my life, I was a criminal who made a living by extortion. I often went to restaurants with my accomplices pretending to be police officers. The guest room extorts money from prostitutes. One day, I met Wu Di, a female student, in the park, and we fell in love from then on. Later, Wu Di went astray to take revenge on me, until he committed suicide for me, and I did not escape the end of being arrested and sentenced.

The second stage is my life experience after being released on medical parole. I met the female student Hu Yi on the boat traveling to the south. The situation when we met was quite similar to the situation when I met Wu Di. When I had already fallen in love with Hu Yi, she was raped by two wanted criminals posing as writers. After I sent Hu Yi away, I fought with the two wanted criminals until the police were attracted.
