Definition
好人 literally means 'good person', but in Chinese culture it carries social weight — it often implies someone who is kind, moral, and avoids conflict, sometimes to the point of being a pushover (老好人). The second sense 'someone who tries to get along with everyone' captures this nuance. The third gloss 'beauty' is rare and likely a dictionary error; the standard meaning is 'good/nice person'.
