For example, a student who is studying hard for an exam might be described as having 决心. However, 决心 can also be used in a negative sense, to describe someone who is stubborn or unwilling to change their mind. For example, a person who refuses to listen to advice might be described as having 决心.The word 决心 is a common word in Chinese, and it is used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word to know for HSK learners, as it is used in many different everyday situations.
