New Year's Eve is an essential holiday for family reunions, and the reunion dinner holds immense ritual significance. In Chinese family values, serving a meager dinner on this night is seen as unfilial or a sign of mistreatment, often becoming a trigger for family conflicts.
Traditional Chinese family ethics draw a clear line between 'insiders' and 'outsiders' (wai ren). Non-blood relatives such as daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, or domestic helpers are often viewed as outsiders, which can easily lead to a crisis of trust.
