- Take good care of yourself - a warm parting blessing: 请多珍重 (qǐng duō zhēnzhòng) please take care.
- As a verb it also means to treasure/value (珍重生命, cherish life), but the farewell use is the most idiomatic.
- Formal and heartfelt, common at goodbyes in letters; warmer and more literary than a casual 保重 (bǎozhòng).
