WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“She sacrificed herself completely out of love for my mother, not because she wanted this.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Filial Self-Sacrifice

In historical Chinese narratives, sacrificing oneself—even via marriage or servitude—to pay for a parent's medical care is a tragic manifestation of extreme filial piety (孝, xiao).
