WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)

“I know it sounds unbelievable, but trust me, it's real.”

💡 Cultural Insight: Conceding to convince communication strategy

When faced with skepticism from others, Chinese speakers often first acknowledge that they once shared the same doubt ('yi kai shi wo ye bu xin', meaning 'at first I didn't believe it either'), thereby diffusing confrontational feelings and making their subsequent confirmation far more persuasive.
