heroes.

people.Students were asked to pick one from each group.
NBA star Yao Ming was the No. 1 Chinese hero with 48% of all the results.
Zhang Yujiao, 15, speaks highly of Yao, "It was hard for him to go all the way to the NBA." Zhang is
from Shanghai's Beijiao High School. "He's a big star. He is also kind and loves others. He helps disabled
children."
Zhou Jie, 14, says he likes Zhou Enlai, "He's great. He's kind. He regarded people as his own children.
And he never thought he was different from others."
Shanghai students also like the US businessman Bill Gates, more than half picked him as their hero.
