Long explanation:

The Mandarin Chinese expression '就算...也...' (jiùsuàn... yě...) is a compound structure that is used to present a hypothetical situation (the part following '就算') and its unchanging outcome or reaction (the part following '也'). The English equivalent is 'Even if... still...'. It signifies a determination or emphasising a point regardless of circumstances.
