Definition
独眼龙 literally means 'one-eyed dragon' and is used informally (often with a teasing or derogatory tone) to refer to a person who is blind in one eye. You should be careful with context — it's not a neutral medical term; it's more like a nickname or a descriptive label. In modern Chinese, it can also appear in martial arts fiction as a character title.
n.
