我們從小到大，不論在卡通裡、童話故事裡、電影裡、漫畫裡，都不斷的充斥著所謂英雄的角色。這些英雄，也許是王子、也許是超能者、也許是救世主，不管如何，我們所聽到的故事裡，一定會有一個角色，是來拯救我們的。大家也都不自覺得喜歡這樣的情節，我們都認為，不管事情再怎麼糟，總是會有人來救我們。當然，這些都是我們心目中的完美情節。現實生活中，當然不可能如此，所以漸漸長大後，我們會發現，原來小時候所知道的那些英雄，其實並不存在。不過，他們會以另外一種方式，出現在我們生命中。我們生命中的英雄，可能是求學階段的某個老師，可能是自己的父母，可能是自己的同儕，可能是自己的伴侶，也有可能是自己的小孩。
對我來說，我的英雄是我的父母。因為，自己為人父母之後，才知道，為了小孩健康快樂長大，其實，身為父母的就像是電影裡的鋼鐵人一樣，真的會用自己的生命去保護自己最在乎的人。父母必須要有鋼鐵般的外殼，溫暖的心，真的是不容易阿! 大家心目中的英雄又是誰呢?
Who's your hero and why?
Here's what people in London said:
I think maybe Antonia Fraser. She's an author and she writes really excellent biographies,so I guess she's a hero 'cos I look up to her.
I would say my mother because she's been through so much and she taught me that nothing’s impossible if you really believe that what you want and what you have to do to overcome all the difficulties.
What qualities do you think a hero should have?
Needs to be a good role model to, like, the youth. I think that’s the most important thing.
I think they shouldn't care what other people think. I think they should have their own views. I think that's the important thing of all heroes.
Let’s dig in!
The first person looks up to an author who writes excellent biographies. Authors could be very influential for sure since people trust the word they put in books, which could be last for decades or even centuries.
Another person has the same hero as me. She thinks that her mother is very brave and taught her well. She makes her believe that there is nothing impossible as long as you believe in yourself. Like I said, parents could be very powerful and influential to their kids in many ways. Therefore, it is important that every parent should be a role model to their kids.
Some people tend to think that heroes are very unique mentally. They should have their own thinking, act differently and think differently. That is what makes heroes so special.
