前赴后继

• 拼音: qián fù hòu jì
• 汉字拆解: 前 = forward; 赴 = 走 + 卜 (to go toward); 后 = behind; 继 = 糸 + 𠃋 (to continue/follow on)

含义

To advance wave after wave without hesitation; one falls and another takes their place. Describes successive people pressing forward despite setbacks or sacrifice.

Used to describe collective heroic effort or relentless group pursuit of a goal. Common in historical, military, and inspirational contexts. Always requires a plural or collective subject — it cannot describe a lone individual.
