Definition
晖 is a bound form (b.f.) meaning 'sunshine' or 'sunlight'. It almost always appears as part of compound words like 春晖 (spring sunshine, often used metaphorically for parental love) or 余晖 (afterglow of sunset). You won't use 晖 as a standalone word in modern Chinese — it's a literary root that attaches to other morphemes.
