WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Saying 'thank you' is nowhere near enough for what you did, so I must see him in person.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Indebtedness and Reciprocity (Bao)

In traditional Chinese culture, receiving a life-saving favor incurs a massive moral debt (Bao). Simply saying 'thank you' is deemed inadequate, demanding formal, face-to-face acknowledgment.
