mistakes

Don't confuse 溶入 (róngrù, with 氵water radical, 'dissolve into') and 融入 (róngrù, with 鬲 radical, 'to integrate into [a society/culture]'). Same pinyin, different characters and uses: 糖溶入水 (sugar dissolves into water), 移民融入新社会 (immigrants integrate into a new society). 溶 is physical/chemical; 融 is social/abstract.
