My brother thinks the same as you and so gave my cousin's children RMB200 each, of the mind that it's just about the spirit of things, but my cousin complained to my auntie, saying my brother is tight-fisted, then my auntie went and told my mother, so my brother was a little perplexed as to how much to give this year, as he doesn't have the resources to give so much.
