How to study 逼 in context

  1. Say bī, then recall the core meaning: to bother, to pressure.
  2. Write all 12 strokes while keeping the lower-left enclosure balanced.
  3. Use it in 逼近 (bī jìn), meaning “to press on towards”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 逼 works in that context.
