WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Stop tormenting yourself for the sake of endurance; leaving is far better.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Challenging Traditional Female Martyrdom

In traditional China, women were expected to 'endure' (熬) in their husband's clan regardless of misery; urging separation directly challenges this feudal expectation.
