Definition
追随 (zhuīsuí) means 'to follow' with a sense of devotion or pursuit — it's used for following a person, a leader, a trend, or a lifestyle, often with a goal or admiration. It differs from 跟随 (gēnsuí), which is more neutral and physical ('follow behind'), and from 陪伴 (péibàn) / 陪同 (péitóng), which focus on accompanying as a companion, not pursuing.
verb
