Hero Saving People From the Rubbles

There is a volunteer working in the earthquake shaken QingHai province from Hong Kong who lost his life while saving some people. True heroism indeed.

The Chief Executive in Hong Kong says this:

特首曾蔭權昨日亦在個人網誌讚揚黃福榮的事蹟觸動內地和本港市民，萬分敬仰他無私奉獻、捨身成仁的精神，引以為榮。曾蔭權引用《聖經》馬太福音「慈悲的人有福了」，

Full story in here.

Mr. Tsang's quote should come from the "8 Beatitude". See here for all 8 of them. Ok, his Catholic Bible has a different translation.

But the absolute true heroes who do "acts of righteousness" does not need honor, just quietly do work behind the scene.

Just look at the next chapter. Matthew 6:1-3:

Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

I am sure the brave volunteer does not want to be honored worldwide. He just want to quietly help.

So, go help the needy (but don't tell me).

Ok, money rich modern China: how come there are so many needy that needs help?
