I don't understand the expression 重情重义, could anyone kindly break it down and explain it to me? I reckon means take something seriously, what about 情 and 义? It seems to have very positive connotation. 

 

Big thank you in advance!

情义 means friendship, 重 short form of 看重 ,meaning take seriously.
In chinese words made of two characters sometimes can be separated.
For ex. 兄弟, brothers, can appear separated in expression 称兄道弟,call each other brothers, be like brothers.
