顺
shùn
to obey
to follow; to arrange; to make reasonable; along; favorable
rivers (川) + head (页) = to go along, to follow
页 depicts a head, suggesting orientation and compliance — turning one's head to follow. 川 mainly contributes the sound shùn; the flowing rivers image does complement the sense of going along with things, even if that's incidental.
你做事要顺着他的意思，别让他生气。
nǐ zuò shì yào shùn zhe tā de yì si，bié ràng tā shēng qì。
When you do things, go along with his wishes — don't make him angry.
我们顺着河边走，很快就找到了那个地方。
wǒ men shùn zhe hé biān zǒu，hěn kuài jiù zhǎo dào le nà ge dì fang。
We walked along the riverbank and found that place very quickly.
