The Chinese phrase

赠人玫瑰, 手有余香。
is pronounced
Zèng rén méiguī, shǒu yǒuyú xiāng.
means
Gifts of roses, hand a fragrance.
  • The literal translation of this phrase is: 'You give a rose to others, and your hands will have fragrance. It means a very ordinary and small thing, even if it is as trivial as giving a rose to others, but the warmth it brings will slowly rise, diffuse, and cover the hearts of both the giver and the recipient.'
