憋

The word "Bie", depending on different context and expressions, generally carries three kinds of meaning in Chinese: 1) It means holding back and accumulating. For instance, 'to keep one's breath' or 'accumulating strength before making a burst'; 2) Indicating discomfort and uneasiness. Like when someone says 'I feel stuffy' or 'oppressive atmosphere makes me feel uncomfortable and I can't express myself well'; 3) Controlling strong inner emotions or needs but unable to release. Sometimes it contains a rebellious sentiment inside.
