WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Wake up! If he can betray his own flesh and blood, he will definitely betray you too.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Sanctity of Blood Ties

In traditional Chinese morality, loyalty to immediate blood relatives is paramount; betraying one's own sibling is viewed as the ultimate proof of moral bankruptcy.
