while the idea is clear from the lit meaning, I find our gloss is unsatisfying.

J translations often use words like 'snub', 'rebuff'.
Typically, you are not even given admission, that is 碰壁
Diff:
- 碰壁 碰壁 [peng4 bi4] /to hit a wall/fig. to run up against a snag/
+ 碰壁 碰壁 [peng4 bi4] /to hit a wall/(fig.) to hit a brick wall/to hit a snag/to have the door slammed in one's face/
