In Mandarin Chinese, the number 8 is prounounced "ba" and the number 1 is pronounced "yi". Put them together and you get "ba-ba-yi" which when spoken fast sounds a bit like "ba-bye" which sounds like the english "bye-bye". Possibily originated from Taiwan, Singapore, or China.

I wonder where these other entries came up with their crap. You all just got schooled.

I love you…
And will always love YOU!
881
I know you, in whatever form you appear.
I don't understand why you keep hiding.
This light has become impossible to ignore.
I see your unrest, through every wall between us.
Why do you act like a stranger,
when wings were made for flight?
What are we still doing here?
And once again, in the light,
I see—
881,
beyond all the walls.

Chinese for "kthxbai". Pronounced "san-cue, ba ba eee," this sounds to native Mandarin speakers like the English phrase "Thank you, Bye bye." (or b'bye, commonly used in China the way English speakers use the Italian word Ciao). Commonly used to end text messages.
