Pingo, can you teach me like I'm five? Of course! What does "xīn" (心) mean? Xin means heart. Correct! It means heart. Then what about "xiǎo xīn" (小心)? Small heart? Hehe, nope. It means "be careful." Why? Because small things are easy to lose. So when you see small + heart, you remind yourself: "Be careful with your little heart!" I get it. Very good. Then what about "kāixīn" (开心)? Open heart? Hehe, almost! It means 'happy'. Happy. Why? Because when you're happy, your heart opens up. Then what about "guānxīn" (关心)? Closed heart? Sad? Wow, almost correct! It means 'to care' about someone. Because when someone's heart is closed, you ask "are you okay?" And then you care for them. Do you understand now, cutie? I do. Wonderful! Then let me ask you one last question. If your heart stays closed all the time, what do we call that? I don't know, maybe 关 No. That means your brain never opened. Hahahah
