真诚 (zhēn chéng) — sincere, genuine | TongTong Chinese Dictionary

Definition

真诚 (zhēn chéng) describes a person's sincere, genuine inner character or feelings — it's about being true-hearted. It differs from 诚实 (chéng shí 'honest'), which focuses on truthfulness in words/actions, and from 真正 (zhēn zhèng 'genuine, real'), which describes something authentic (not fake) rather than a person's attitude.
