Definition
豪杰 refers to an exceptionally brave and talented person, often appearing in historical or martial arts contexts. Unlike the more general English word 'hero', 豪杰 carries a classical, literary flavor and emphasizes boldness, integrity, and extraordinary ability rather than just fame or virtue.
