Character Story & Explanation
In a bustling Beijing tea house, an old man sips jasmine tea with a 暋 (mín, unhappy) expression, troubled by his son's career choice. This rare character, composed of 日 (sun) and 敏 (quick), originally meant 'to be annoyed' or 'dissatisfied'. Though seldom used today, it appears in classical literature to describe deep discontent. Its radical 日 suggests a day darkened by gloom.
