He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a hero
HSK 3 · Lesson 1

He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a hero

What the well-known Chinese saying 不到长城非好汉 means: whoever has not climbed the Great Wall is no hero — the real hero is the one who overcomes a difficulty and solves the problem.

“不到长城非好汉”,这句话里“非”的意思是“不是”,“好汉”的意思是“很厉害的人”“英雄”。
这句话的意思是没有去过长城的人就不是英雄,常常用来比喻一种积极的精神,遇到困难,要努力想办法克服,解决了问题,那就是“好汉”。
