WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“I love it, but accepting something so lavish makes me feel indebted and uneasy.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Gift Reciprocity and Moral Burden

In Chinese culture, receiving an overly expensive gift without clear justification creates a heavy reciprocal debt ('人情债'). Polite hesitation balances showing appreciation with avoiding undue indebtedness.
