WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Please leave now; I don't want to keep talking about this.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Filial Decorum in Evasion

In Chinese culture, directly asking a parent to leave is taboo, so adult children frequently disguise the desire to end a conversation as filial concern for the parent's health and rest.
