How it's used
Carries a sense of sentimentality or significance, often implying a long period of separation or a touching circumstance. While it functions as a verb, it is frequently used in four character idioms like 久別重逢 to describe the emotional weight of the encounter. In everyday casual speech, people are much more likely to use 見返面 or 聚返頭 to express the same idea.
Examples
We have been separated for years, and we can finally reunite.
