Definition
憨厚 describes a person who is simple, honest, and sincere, often with a naive or unsophisticated charm — like a kind-hearted country person. It focuses on an unpretentious, genuine nature, while 善良 (shànliáng) emphasizes kindness, and 老实 (lǎoshi) can imply being well-behaved or gullible. 淳朴/纯朴 (chúnpǔ) is broader, covering lifestyle and customs.
