Answer

We physically feel some unpleasant emotions like nervousness or guilt in our stomachs.  Does that not happen in Chinese culture?  I assumed it was universal.  The second part of the sentence is not written very clearly.  I am not sure what it means except that the person feels guilty about something for some reason.
