According to Chinese
customs, when a guest says goodbye, the host would usually ask
him or her to stay longer to show politeness. If a guest
visits for something special, he or she usually shows
gratefulness or apologies to the host, i. e. to be thankful to
the host for the friendly reception and help, and shows his or
her apology for disturbing the host.
