All cultures adore heros. But definition of Heros defer. Apart from the individualistic and secretive superman, Chinese heros are often self-sacrificing, simple, and altruistic. (I do not consider the modern teenage violent icons as traditional Chinese heros).
Wanting and becoming a hero as very different thing.
"Given a choice, nobody choose to be a hero. They found themselves to be."
Heros do dangerous things that often contradicts the very nature and daily choices in life. We don't want to do these things everyday.
Among Chinese heros-to-be, we need to understand that the world do not want to be save, so we do not need to think that way until situations arises. Bearing that in mind, we need to led a normal life and think simply, act kindly, and give bgenerously. In the simplicity and naturalness of life, we become complete as a human and it matters much more than to become a hero. When someone is in need, you naturally become one.
