WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)

💡 Cultural Insight: Prioritizing reconciliation / Harmony is paramount

Chinese culture places great value on interpersonal harmony. When relatives or friends clash, bystanders often step in to mediate, encouraging people to 'talk things through calmly' ('you hua hao hao shuo') to prevent direct conflicts from escalating.
