WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“That Liu Tianquan is an utter bastard, so whoever works for him can't be good either.”
💡 Cultural Insight: wang ba dan (bastard)

Originating as a phonetic distortion of the folk phrase 'wang ba duan' (forgetting the eight virtues: filial piety, brotherly love, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame), and later merged with the image of a soft-shelled turtle ('wang ba'), this is an extremely offensive vulgar insult widely used across China.
