善良人 (shàn liáng rén) - use 好心人 when emphasizing goodwill specifically, while 善良人 focuses more on inherent goodness.
While the term is generally positive, avoid overusing it in formal situations where more specific descriptions of kindness might be required. Common collocations include '好心人帮忙' (a kind-hearted person helps) and '感谢好心人' (thankful for the kind-hearted person). Watch out for the tone; '好' has a rising tone, which can change the meaning if mispronounced.
