how i memorize this character: the left hand side of this character is that of the hand radical– it reminds me of self-defense movmenets people can use in situations of crisis, using their hands (like slapping someone), when they need to protect themselves. the right hand side of the character looks like a shelter that someone can go to for warmth, safety, shelter, to protect them for anything (even the rain! it reminds me of a place that can protect you from when it is raining heavily outside!)
