About

The word 求救 is formed by directly combining two conceptual actions into a single, urgent idea: the first character 求 means "to seek" or "to beg", and the second character 救 means "to rescue" or "to save". Their union is not merely additive but creates an immediate, integrated scene of someone actively seeking salvation, visually and semantically capturing the moment of a desperate plea for help as a complete, unified event.
