Who is your heroic idol and what is one incident that immortalized him/her for you?

[PJ]

If there is one incident that immortalized your idol in your mind forever, please share it in this topic.

As for myself, as soon as I saw the unsurpassed chivalry displayed by the great Beggar Clan's chief when he pardoned the 4 elders (who tried to overthrow him) by compromising his own flesh, he instantly became my favorite hero ever. That whole scene is a perfect introduction to his authority, easy-going personality; from the time he easily subdued his rival's servants, to Wu Changfeng describing how difficult it is for beggars to get alcohol ("Everybody says: 'stinky beggars, after a free meal they want alcohol too! in your dreams.'")

I thought your idol is Sweeper Monk.

I wouldn't go so far as to name him as my 'idol' or 'my hero' (that kinda words is for teenage girls!) but yes, that scene (esp when played out by Felix Wong in the 97 version) was quite instrumental in making him my favourite JY hero.

I was half joking when I said that in the other thread.

Besides, this is about HEROIC idol. Sweeper Monk is my ENLIGHTENED idol.
