WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Please stop acting so irrational and stubborn! There is no room for argument when I'm doing this for my family!”
💡 Cultural Insight: Jiang Daoli (Appealing to Reason vs. Filial Authority)

Demanding that elders 'be reasonable' often clashes with traditional parental authority, where parents believe their good intentions for their children override conventional logic.
