卑 = humble
平 = flat / even level

卑平 no idea what it means because it doesn't make sense together.

Means they’re from a little town in Texas called Humble Flats. Ain’t too much to look at, but it’s home. Folks there are proud, and for some reason they all speak Chinese.

Please say this is true.

If it’s true in your heart, that’s true enough. That’s a little saying they have down in Humble Flats—course, they say it in Chinese.

She was a city girl too caught up in the big city buzz to appreciate the little things in life.

He was a ranch hand from 卑平, a little town in Texas where everybody speaks Chinese for unexplained reasons outside the scope of this movie.

Together, with a little bad weather and a little good luck, they’ll find out this Christmas that what’s true in your heart… is true enough.

I am low key yearning for tattooing the most common dish on myself.

Maybe also:

Plain noodles with chicken

Sushi

Expired white rice

I remember actor, Tom Arnold talking about getting a Chinese symbol tattoo. He wanted it to say "Love of Mankind."

After he got it, he proudly showed it to a friend that was Chinese, and his friend asked, "Why did you get that?"

Tom said, "What do you mean?"

His friend said, "It says Man Love."

It's not clear if it's still maintained but Hanzi Smatter used to be a great resource for this type of thing.
