That's so strange. 刘娜: Yes, it's a very common habit. People in Guangdong tear napkins into two or four pieces to share with everyone. 小潘: But why do they do that? Isn't it more convenient for everyone to have their own napkin? 刘娜: It's related to their culture. People in Guangdong value frugality and like to share. Tearing napkins is actually a way of showing care for others. 小潘: Oh, I get it. So it's not just about saving paper, but also a friendly gesture. 刘娜: That's right. Nowadays, many young people also think it's environmentally friendly and meaningful. Such a small act actually shows great wisdom.
