Definition
读后感 is a noun that refers to a written reflection, review, or commentary after reading a book, article, or other text. It's a common assignment in Chinese schools and book clubs — you write about your thoughts, feelings, and analysis of what you read, not just a summary. The word breaks down as 读 (read) + 后 (after) + 感 (feeling/impression).
