Definition
亡命徒 literally means 'one who flees from life' — a person who risks their life without regard for consequences, often a violent criminal or outlaw. The word carries a strong literary or dramatic tone, similar to 'desperado' in English. Note that the pinyin in the source data is incomplete; the full pronunciation is wáng mìng tú.
