In a society where people's attention is always grabbed by bad news, the annual "Touching China" award on Tuesday definitely sends a different message. The award honors ten of China's inspirational role models in 2012.
Among the ten are public faces who did heroic deeds like Luo Yang, the late Commander in chief of the program for developing the J-15 fighter, who died from overwork. And Lin Junde, a scientist who dedicated his entire life to China's nuclear course. There are also ordinary citizens who have made a difference, like Zhang Lili. Zhang was hailed as "China's Most Beautiful Teacher" after she saved two students from being hit by a bus, but lost both her legs in the effort.
The award winners are carefully selected to represent a true moral epic of 2012 in China. The "Touching China" award has been held yearly since 2003.
