Definition
一头撞南墙:
Literally means:
to bump into the south wall with one's head; to jump headlong toward one's doom
Actually means:
It means that when dealing with something, someone sticks to his own opinion and is reluctant to change or do not know how to change according to the real situation, which results in a total failure. Derogatory.
It means that someone plans to commit suicide impulsively because of a heavy blow in the spirit or a failure. It is often used for exaggeration instead of in its literal meaning.
比喻处理事情时，顽固坚持自己的意见不愿意或不知道根据具体情况改变方法，结果遭到失败。具有贬义色彩
受到打击或遭到失败后，一时想不通而打算自杀。多用于夸张的说法，并不是真的去自杀。
