The issue states that nowadays none living person is possible to regard as a hero. Although it is true if considering some reason appearing in this rapid and busy world, we still need hero, especially living person as a hero. People create and need hero in this time as before, and we respect passing hero as well as living person as our hero for the living hero may inspire us more than passing one.
Firstly, what is a real hero? Different people may have different definitions. In my opinion, a hero is person with some special aspects better than others, such as good moral: honesty, tolerance, fidelity, and insistence, or certain abilities and actions likewise of good communication with people, protecting animals, strong responsible feeling to help the poor or disable individuals, and so on. A hero may be a famous star like Micheal Jackon and Kobe Bryant, a conscience writer as Liu Xun and Han Han, who is a very advocated young writer in China, or even our parents, so different people have various heroes in their hearts from the past to now. Therefore it is very possible for person regard a living person in today as his or her hero.
Do we now need a hero, especially a living person as a hero? There are some reasons for people now to suspect that whether we need a hero in this rapidly changing age. One reason is that people now hear a lot of heroes from all kinds of medians, such as TV, the Internet, papers and magazines so that they can’t tell who is a real hero. People has less trust in living hero because we often find that one a hero today may be a imperfect person tomorrow, for instance the Olympic winner Phelps being also a drug addict. The other reason is that more and more people see themselves as their own hero rather than considering other people because they advocate unique personality as well as maverick actions. My young brother, a 90s born boy, is just a person without believing any other people as hero, but himself. In my view, these above two reasons lead to many people are unsure of whether they need a hero, especially a living person in the same time. Just as some say, I will be a hero if I want in this era.
Although there are some reasons influencing person’s view as to hero, we still need heroes, especially living hero to inspire us in modern life. We need living hero to teach us what is insistence like Yao Ming keeping playing basketball to be a very great NBA star as an Asian, to help us to find our sympathy and kindness to poor people like Angelina Julie, a UNHCR goodwill ambassador, and to remind us take attention to wild animals like Jackie Chan. All these heroes are near to our daily life because of their shows or their news so that their actions establish good examples directly to us to learn from them. In my opinion, the living heroes may influence people more effectively than passing person since they are vivid in our daily life.
In conclusion, with different definition of hero in our minds, we can regard different people if we think one was, not limiting in the passing people. In addition, we need heroes as every time as before, particularly living person as heroes because living heroes in our heart can encourage our thinking and actions more directly.
