No pursuing Chinese literary hero (6)
I believe the answer is:
hannay
'literary hero' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'no pursuing chinese' is the wordplay.
'no' becomes 'nay' (I've seen this before).
'pursuing' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'chinese' becomes 'han' (Chinese dynasty).
'nay' put after 'han' is 'HANNAY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hannay that I've seen is " His adventures involved a number of steps".)
