Definition
标兵 (biāo bīng) originally referred to a guard in a military parade, but in modern Chinese it's widely used metaphorically to mean a model or exemplary person in any field, especially in work or organizational contexts. You'll often hear it in phrases like 树立标兵 (set up as a model) or 标兵单位 (model unit). The word carries a strong sense of being recognized as a standard to emulate.
