不平 (bù píng) — uneven (of a surface); injustice; grievance; indignant (feeling that something is unfair)
Definition
不平 covers two senses: 'uneven' for surfaces, and 'feeling indignant about unfairness' — milder than 愤怒 or 气愤 (which are openly angry), closer to a quiet sense of grievance. 不满 is a more general 'dissatisfied', without the unfairness implication.
