迎 (yíng) — to welcome, to greet; to meet, to face (someone or something); to forge ahead, to tackle (difficulties) head-on
Definition
迎 is the verb half of compounds like 迎接 (welcome) and 欢迎 (welcome). On its own it leans toward 'to face / meet head-on' — as in 迎难而上 ('forge ahead in the face of difficulties') — rather than the everyday greeting sense of 见面 or 问候.
