Why you can trust SCMP

When I was a little girl, I thought firemen were superheroes who would do anything to save lives. As a teenager, my views haven't changed. I still think they are the bravest people in the world.

Many firefighters have died battling blazes. It is a very dangerous job and they have to undergo tough training. Once there is a fire, they will be out there immediately, risking their lives to save others. I believe they lead a truly meaningful life and we have a lot to learn from them.

Many people do not treasure the opportunities they have. They easily get upset over trivial matters and never think of ways to contribute to society.

We have to believe in ourselves and have a positive outlook on life. We may not become heroes, but at least we will know we tried our best.

When a fireman dies, it is very sad but we should learn from their spirit and live life to the fullest.
