“Let me cover all their tuition under A-Li's name—I want this benevolence and good reputation to be credited entirely to her.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Shuxiu (traditional tuition / teacher's gift)

Originally referring to ten strips of dried meat, the term evolved after the Analects into a modest gift presented by students upon greeting their teacher, and later broadly referred to tuition or remuneration paid to a private tutor.

💡 Cultural Insight: Bestowing favors in another's name

In ancient times, persons of noble status (such as royal princes) often credited charitable deeds and financial support to the name of a romantic interest or close confidant, thereby accumulating social prestige and good karma for them.
