Last night I caught an interesting documentary on China's Earthquake and how they made a little hero of Lin Hao a 9 year old boy. He said he wasn't the only boy who tried to help his classmates. He was chosen. What I found interesting was that his father was trying to get work and nobody would hire him.

A lot of people feel that a hero's family gets the same treatment as the hero. Lin Hao at the end of the docu said he didn't want to remember what happened because it hurts so much and being the chosen hero he has to deal with it constantly. There were perks like a better education for him, he got to walk beside the flagbearer in the Olympics, meet a lot of dignitaries and a whole world he never saw before. The sad part was that his father was unable to get work which he needed in order to stay in the big city.

They never said if Lin Hao's family ends up staying.

Whether he stays or not wont matter because people will always remember what he did. Maybe when Lin Hao is older he can help those famillies who lost their children in the earthquake and never got the answers they were looking for. Why because they were his friends too!
