WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“No big deal, I just wanted to see you one last time before I go.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Ritualized Farewell (Daobie)

Visiting in person solely to say goodbye demonstrates strong social propriety and respect (li), yet speakers intentionally minimize the gesture ('just dropping by') to avoid burdening the other person.
