Chinese Proverbs -- 百闻不如一见

百(bǎi)闻(wén)不(bù)如(rú)一(yí)见(jiàn) 
One eyewitness is better than hundreds hearsays. 

闻(wén)=hear
新闻(xīnwén)=news
见(jiàn)=see

Example
听(tīng)说(shuō)长(cháng)城(chéng)很(hěn)壮(zhuàng)观(guān)。今(jīn)天(tiān)终(zhōng)于(yú)登(dēng)上(shàng)了(le)长(cháng) 城(chéng),果(guǒ)真(zhēn)是(shì)百(bǎi)闻(wén)不(bù)如(rú)一(yí)见(jiàn)啊(ā)!

I heard people say Great Wall is splendid. Finally I am here today and it is indeed “百闻不如一见”啊!
