‘实现’ (shí xiàn) is a verb meaning 'to realize' or 'to accomplish'—specifically, to bring a plan, dream, goal, or intention into actual existence. The first character 实 (shí) means 'real', 'true', or 'substantial', while the second character 现 (xiàn) means 'to appear' or 'to manifest'. Together, they convey the idea of making something real or visible in practice—not just imagining or wishing for it. It’s commonly used with abstract nouns like 目标 (mùbiāo, 'goal'), 梦想 (mèngxiǎng, 'dream'), 计划 (jìhuà, 'plan'), or 理想 (lǐxiǎng, 'ideal').

This word carries a formal and positive connotation, often appearing in motivational contexts, work reports, academic writing, or personal reflections. It implies effort, feasibility, and successful completion—not passive hope. Unlike the more colloquial 达到 (dá dào, 'to reach') or 完成 (wán chéng, 'to finish'), 实现 emphasizes the transformation from intangible aspiration to tangible outcome. It’s rarely used with concrete, physical objects unless metaphorically ('realize a vision').
