Every character is a story.
Built to help you remember 1,000 characters in three months — with your imagination, not rote drilling.
Four moves, one habit
Break the character down, wrap it in a vivid scene, and let spaced repetition carve it in.
Decompose
Split each character into its radicals — the reusable building blocks.
Tell a story
Bind those radicals into one vivid, slightly absurd mental image.
Recall by card
Flip a card, retrieve the story, and the meaning surfaces with it.
Engrave
Spaced repetition (SRS) returns each card just before you forget.
The mnemonic flip cards
Front is calm and clean. Flip for the radical breakdown, the story, and how the character evolved.

Why your brain loves this
The method stacks four well-studied memory principles into a single daily loop.
Pull, don’t re-read
Retrieving an answer from memory builds far stronger traces than reviewing it passively.
Radicals as Lego
Working memory holds only 7±2 items — radicals compress a character into one chunk.
Beat the forgetting curve
Ebbinghaus showed memory fades on a curve; reviewing at the dip resets it.
Memory palace
Anchoring ideas to vivid places — a 2,500-year-old orator’s trick that still works.
