💡 Cultural Insight: Social Courtesy and Polite Refusal

In Chinese daily social interactions, people often proactively offer company or help to show care, while the other party typically declines out of courtesy (such as 'bu yong' [no need] or 'ni xian zou ba' [you go ahead]) to avoid burdening or wasting the other person's time.
