WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Of course I resent it, but what good does complaining do when you always put work before family?”
💡 Cultural Insight: Collectivist Work Ethic vs. Family Life

In traditional Chinese culture, dedication to work and public service (like going down to the countryside) carries moral superiority, leaving family members little room to openly complain.
