From my point of view, in this sense \u2039\u8c22\u203a describes a countermovement of receiving realized through reflection and further through words arising from helping or giving, which is usually volitional and rather unconscious. The two movements complete an event that promotes development. The word \u2039\u8c22(xi\u00e8)\u203a in Mandarin sounds like shooting out air. It has the fourth, falling tone, which has a sense of affirmation and determination. When using a double \u2039\u8c22(xi\u00e8)\u203a, the second is spoken in a low voice.
