Definition
一视同仁 is a four-character idiom (成语) meaning 'to treat everyone equally without discrimination'. The literal reading — 'one view, same benevolence' — doesn't directly convey the idea of impartiality. You can use it as a predicate or attribute, often in the pattern 对…一视同仁 ('treat … equally'). It's commonly used in contexts like education, workplace, and law to emphasize fairness.
f.e.
to treat everyone equally and without discrimination
