Definition
好男儿 is a traditional Chinese ideal of manhood, referring to a man who is ambitious, responsible, and morally upright. It appears in proverbs like 好男儿志在四方 ('a good man aspires to explore the world') and is often used to praise someone's character or to express expectations in a cultural context. The full pronunciation is hǎo nán ér, but the input pinyin field only gives hǎo, which may be a data error.
