The Chinese word 为期 (wèi qī) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 为 (wèi) and 期 (qī). The character 为 (wèi) originally meant "to do" or "to make", but in this context, it functions as a preposition and means "for the purpose of" or "in order to". The character 期 (qī) means "period" or "time limit". When combined, the two characters form the word 为期, which literally means "for a period of time" or "for a certain duration". In modern Chinese, 为期 is often used to indicate the duration of an event or activity, such as a meeting, a conference, or a project. For example, the sentence "为期三天的会议" means "a three-day conference".
