Definition
心甘情愿 (xīngān-qíngyuàn) is a set phrase meaning 'perfectly willing, with all one's heart' — it emphasizes that someone does something gladly, without any reluctance. It is stronger and more literary than simply saying 愿意 (yuànyì 'willing'). Use it when the person is happy to make a sacrifice or take on something difficult.
