HOW’S THIS IMPORTANT TO YOU? In short, it’s not, unless you count learning 艹 (plant) + 古 (old) useful. Although I must say learning the origin of this character might help you understand the metaphorical origin of bitter better: In Chinese culture, this word 苦 means both pain and endurance.
CLOSEST ENGLISH EQUIVALENT: “no pain, no gain?”
ARE YOU TIRED YET? That’s what I thought. See you tomorrow folks! Until then, the weather forcast predicts no flooding for the next coming hours. Meteorlogist Ryan Chen predicts calm conditions until tomorrow, 6/3.
Lazy to read — wanna watch a video instead? Got ya covered. It’s only 20 seconds.
