WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“He claims to be my brother, but he is stabbing me in the back.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Fraternal Conflict vs. Filial Decorum

Traditional Chinese morality heavily stresses elder brotherly benevolence (梯道); when a sibling breaks this trust, ironic titles are used to magnify the moral betrayal.
