Definition
重重 (chóng chóng) is an adjective meaning 'layer upon layer' or 'one after another', used for things that pile up in physical or abstract layers (e.g., difficulties, mountains). Unlike the adverbs 纷纷 (describes many people doing something simultaneously) and 陆续 (things happening at intervals), 重重 emphasizes a stacked, overlapping quality — often modifying nouns like 困难 or 云雾.
