WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You think you're untouchable because of royal backing, but your patron won't last long.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Kaoshan (Social Backing/Patronage)

In historical and social hierarchies, personal authority often relies heavily on having a powerful 'kaoshan' (patron), which makes rivals target the vulnerability of that backer.
