報恩 [bào ēn] [bao en]—
To repay a kindness or favor (報答恩惠 [bao da en hui]). From Selections of Refined Literature (文選 [wen xuan]), Li Ling's (李陵 [li ling]) "Letter in Reply to Su Wu" (答蘇武書 [da su wu shu]): "Therefore, as stated in my previous letter, I wish to repay the kindness of the ruler (國主 [guo zhu])." From Chapter Six of The Travels of Lao Can, Part Two (《老殘遊記二編 [lao can you ji er bian]》): "If you cultivate yourself (修行 [xiu xing]) and achieve enlightenment (成道 [cheng dao]), and at that time I encounter the three calamities and eight misfortunes (三災八難 [san zai ba nan]), and you see it from heaven (天上 [tian shang]), you must quickly fly (飛忙 [fei mang]) down to rescue (搭救 [da jiu]) me; that would be true repayment of kindness (真 [zhen])!"
