WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“They completely humiliated us, so we have to get our payback and restore our pride, right?”
💡 Cultural Insight: Face Culture / zan

'Lian' (face) here refers to face and dignity. In Northern colloquial speech, using 'zan' (inclusive 'we/us') closes the interpersonal distance and binds personal success or failure to collective honor or disgrace, thereby exerting psychological persuasion.
