Definition
回顾 (huí gù) means 'to look back on' or 'review' past events, periods, or history — it is more formal and broader than 回想 (huí xiǎng 'recall'), which focuses on specific memories. Unlike 复习 (fù xí) and 温习 (wēn xí), which are for reviewing study material, 回顾 is used for reflecting on experiences or historical processes.
verb
to look back onto review (past events)
