What is a proper condolence gift for a Chinese family?

A proper condolence gift for a Chinese family typically includes items that symbolize respect and support during their time of mourning. Common choices are flowers (except for white chrysanthemums, which are associated with funerals), fruit baskets, or a simple gift of money in a red envelope (hongbao). It's also thoughtful to include a card expressing your condolences and support. Always consider the family's specific beliefs and customs when selecting a gift.
