Posted on: Are You Happy, Content, or Delighted?
July 17, 2019 at 1:07 PMI think "开心" is a kind of happy feeling that comes from deep of your heart, while "高兴" is a kind of emotion that last shorter than "开心" , so someone can pretend to be "高兴" but can't pretend to be "开心"
"幸福" is a kind of long-lasting fulfill feeling.
