WX: He Died, but He Lives in Our Hearts

This man died, but he lives in our hearts forever.

His English name is Tse Ting Cheunn Masa, but I think it will be more familiar to call him Xie Tingjun or Mr. Xie. Actually he could have kept silent after the hijacker hijacked their bus, but as the tourist guide, he called his travel agency to tell them what happened, and later was handcuffed beside the bus door, and died.

Do not need many words to describe his actions, or our feelings. Just see the photos. Danger was so near. Death was so near. I can nearly breathe the smell of danger and death.

Yes, some may say, many more terrible incidents kill more people everyday, and this one is just “a piece of cake”. Yes, but for me, this “piece of cake” is very near, very real… He speaks the same language, writes the same characters, has the same surname, and comes from the same place…

Something goes through time and space and arrives at the depth of our hearts. That something is called… spirit.

Janmei, he showed true courage in the face of danger and he will be remembered for that. He died a hero, unlike the coward that killed him.
hi Europrince. thank you. i saw your last comment to my last blog. thank you. and sorry for the delay that i saw it and other comments several days later after you and they wrote them.

yes, a hero. heroes are not only those who do the "Great Things", but also those who do the Minor Things but mean a lot.

i feel so sorry. crying
It is not the glittering weapon that wins the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Hi ben. yes, you are right.
