"May God's richest blessings fall upon thee."

Now I'm just imagining a White Westerner going to China to study for university or something then a Chinese student sneezes and this Westerner turns around to the person who sneezed, stare in their eyes, and say "上帝保佑你" (God Bless You) with a dead serious tone and facial expression...

Like I'm just lol-ing at this scene in my head 🤣

(cuz "bless you" isn't a thing in China... well... in Cantonese there sort of is a word, I heard my mom said it to me if I sneeze like 3 times in a row, but its not exactly common, like I never heard this said to/by strangers)

Maybe Google Translate will help me tone it down or localize it better:

願神最豐富嘅祝福喺你身上

(I wish I really understood.)
