WU HONGYU, a 20-year-old college freshman in Guangdong province, was killed while trying to catch a thief in May last year. In order to pay tribute to him, a company has made him a character in a computer game. A short video of the game posted on social media has recently become a hit. People's Daily comments:
How to pay tribute to our heroes? The best way is to keep them in our memories, so that people don't forget them.
Putting Wu into a computer game is a good way of doing so, because it not only spreads across boundaries and cultures, but also shortens the psychological gap between ordinary people and Wu's heroic deed.
