Got this 
from a Chinese friend?
It's Salute (Chinese: 抱拳Bao Quan) - a traditional Chinese gesture with rich meaning where the left palm covers the right fist.
• Gratitude - A humble "Thank you"
• Apology - A casual "Sorry about that"
• Respect - A formal greeting or acknowledgment
• Farewell - "Take care" or "See you"
The gesture originates from Chinese martial arts, symbolizing respect by covering "strength" (fist) with "culture" (palm).
How to respond?
Keep it simple - "You're welcome!" or a smiley works perfectly.
Remember: direct phrases like "Thanks!" or "Sorry" work best when cultural context might be lost.
Now you're ready to understand this cultural symbol!
