No pursuing Chinese literary hero (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hannay

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'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".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
