Definition
满怀 (mǎn huái) means 'to have one's heart filled with' — it is used for emotions (confidence, hope) filling one's bosom, more specific and literary than the general 充满 (chōng mǎn). It also means 'to collide head-on' (e.g., a car crashing into something). As a noun, it refers to one's bosom or heart (the seat of emotions).
