Definition
真人 has two main meanings. The first is 'real person' — a living human being, as opposed to a fictional character, puppet, or avatar. The second is a Daoist term for an 'immortal' or 'perfected person' — someone who has attained spiritual transcendence through Daoist cultivation. In modern Chinese, 真人 also appears in compounds like 真人秀 (reality show, literally 'real person show').
