Definition
实况 (shí kuàng) refers to an event as it actually happens, especially a live broadcast or real-time coverage. It differs from 直播 (zhí bō), which is the verb 'to livestream'; 实况 is a noun describing the live content itself. Unlike 现场 (xiàn chǎng 'the scene/site'), 实况 emphasizes the ongoing, unedited reality of the event, not the physical location.
