WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Where do we even get the nerve to think we can handle this?”
💡 Cultural Insight: Courage given by Liang Jingru (Fish Leong)

In contemporary Chinese pop culture, referencing 'courage'—alluding to singer Fish Leong's hit song 'Yongqi'—is often used humorously to tease someone's unfounded confidence. Here, it reflects modern young people's widespread anxiety and insecurity about long-term commitment in romantic relationships.
