This China idiom comes from China's first collection of poems, The Book of Songs, in which the idiom "Give me a peach, give me a plum" appears. Return the favor with a peach, also refers to trying to figure out each other's intentions in interpersonal communication and giving him something he likes to achieve his own goals. This statement is usually derogatory. He gives what he likes according to his own preferences, so as to achieve ulterior motives.
There is a similar saying in Feng Wei's Papaya, "It's always good to return a peach to Li, to Joan and to bandits." He gave me a heart and I rewarded him with Qiong Yao. Qiong Yao can't be regarded as a reward, but seeks eternal mutual friendship. However, the idiom "throw a tree to admire Joan" derived from this is not as widely used as returning a peach to a plum.
