What is a hero? In the past, I simply thought that heroes were those who had the courage to give their lives for others, their careers and their country. But from August 2008 18, I got to know this "hero" again.
1 18 August 18 at 0: 50 am, he appeared at the starting line of the 1 10 meter hurdle, but after the first shot, a sad scene happened: after the first step, his right foot was obviously defective, and the referee signaled someone. Such a heavy and dramatic scene happened at a moment of calling and waiting for the hero, and everyone felt the inner shock.
At the age of 25, Liu Xiang became famous in Athens. At that time, he entered the final first, and ran the world record of12second 9 1, which made the whole world boil. This gold medal is the first track and field gold medal won by China male athletes at the Olympic Games, which has written a new history of track and field in China. Subsequently, in major competitions, Liu Xiang also won many awards, proving his world-class strength, and his worth naturally rose. Some media even think that he has gradually become a symbol of a nation.
However, the occurrence of the above scene has greatly reduced his position in some people's minds, and some even say that he has lost the face of his motherland. What qualifications does a person who gives up easily have to be called a "national hero"? He doesn't deserve to be a hero.
No, he is. He is a hero. Don't we respect his choice to be responsible for his health and future? Doesn't his respect for life shock us? Honor is desirable, but only a healthy competitive spirit is worthy of honor.
Liu Xiang, it's you, you told me the true meaning of a hero; You are the one who told me how to be a hero. In my heart, you will always be a hero!
Friends, there will always be setbacks and difficulties on the road of life; There will always be times when I fall. At this time, don't just think "I can't give up, otherwise, I am not a hero and will be reviled by others." But we should learn from Liu Xiang. Because there is more than one definition of a hero.
