WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You made such a massive sacrifice for my dad; how could I possibly not be eternally grateful?”
💡 Cultural Insight: Bao (Reciprocity) vs. Yijiaren (Family Solidarity)

While traditional Chinese culture insists that close family members shouldn't treat each other like strangers by saying polite thank-yous, catastrophic sacrifices like selling property inherently create deep moral obligations of gratitude.
