Tips
history
From 《论语·卫灵公》: 当仁，不让于师 - 'when it comes to a matter of ren (benevolence), do not yield even to your teacher.' Confucius taught that moral duty overrides hierarchy.
usage
Positive - praise for someone who steps up. Often used ironically too: a person claiming a role/reward they clearly want. 当 here means 'when facing', not 'appropriate'.
