谁是你的英雄？为什么？
This is what some people in London told us:
Woman 1: I think maybe Antonia Fraser. She’s an author and she writes really excellent biographies, so I guess she’s a hero 'cos I look up to her.
Woman 2: I would say my mother because she's been through so much and she taught me that nothing is impossible if you really believe that what you want and what you have to do to overcome all the difficulties.
Presenter: What qualities do you think a hero should have? 你认为英雄应该具有哪些品质呢？
Man 1: Needs to be a good role model to, like, the youth. I think that’s the most important thing.
Man 2: I think they shouldn’t care what other people think. I think they should have their own views. I think that's the important thing of all heroes.
