Definition
反响 (fǎn xiǎng) is a formal noun for a broad public reaction or response, often in media, politics, or society. It differs from 反应 (fǎn yìng), which is a more general 'reaction' used in personal, chemical, or everyday contexts. 后遗症 (hòu yí zhèng) specifically refers to long-term negative aftermaths, while 反响 can be positive, negative, or neutral.
