The Chinese word 英雄 (yīngxióng) is composed of two characters: 英 (yīng) and 雄 (xióng). The character 英 originally meant "flower" or "blossom", but later came to be used in a figurative sense to mean "outstanding" or "heroic". The character 雄 originally meant "male" or "strong", but later came to be used in a figurative sense to mean "hero" or "champion". Thus, the word 英雄 (yīngxióng) literally means "outstanding hero" or "heroic champion". It is often used to refer to people who have achieved great things or who have shown great courage or strength.
