These words are in some uses interchangeable. Succeed, pursue, chase 三字有时可以通用。 Follow is the most general term.

Succeed 表示取而代之，常指非经由自主之意： The prince succeeded his father. 太子接王位。 Pursue, like follow, may be applied to other than physical objects. Pursue 与 follow 同，可用于非物质之事物： He pursued the even tenor or his way. 他无事闲居。 It may also, like chase, stress the will to catch up with some person or thing. 此字亦可如 chase 强调追上别人之意志： He pursued the enemy. 他追击敌人。 In chase the pursuit is more eager and the distance between pursued and pursuer less than in pursue.
