Great Responsibility
zhòng dàn
juu tan
重擔 means heavy burden, difficult task, heavy load, or great responsibility.
lài
This is the surname Lai, as used in Mandarin Chinese.
The meaning is to depend on, to relay upon, to hang on in a place, to renege (on a promise), or to throw the burden on. Context really matters with these meanings, and when used as a surname, it's just a surname.
