About

The word 追逐 is formed by combining two separate characters, each meaning "to chase", 追 (zhuī) and 逐 (zhú). They are placed side-by-side in a parallel, reinforcing structure where the second character echoes and intensifies the action of the first. This creates a dynamic, compound image not merely of a single chase, but of a continuous, sequential, and persistent pursuit, as if one motion of chasing immediately follows and builds upon another. The formation visually and conceptually mimics the very act of relentless following it describes.
