💡 Cultural Insight: Lao tian kai yan (Heaven has opened its eyes)

Stemming from traditional Chinese beliefs in cosmic justice and moral order, this concept reflects the conviction that Heaven is observant, punishes evil, rewards good, and ultimately vindicates those who persevere in righteousness.
