无动于衷

Pronunciación: wú dòng yú zhōng Significado literal: No movement in the heart

Origen y Uso

This idiom describes having no (无) movement (动) within (于) one's heart (衷). The character 衷 specifically refers to the innermost feelings. The phrase can describe either admirable composure and self-control or, more negatively, cold indifference to situations that should evoke response. Context determines whether the lack of emotional reaction is praised or criticized. Modern usage often describes apathy or indifference, though it can also describe appropriate emotional restraint in certain contexts.
