Hero tells the moving story of the Tanzanian runner John
Steven Akhwari, who finished in last place at the 1968 Olympic
Marathon. During the race, Akhwari fell, dislocating a knee joint,
but he continued running and never quit. This hero will also be
participating in the music video for Hero.
You became one of the first singers to begin shooting the first
batch of music videos for the Beijing 2008 Olympic songs. A lineup
of singers, including Joey Yung, Nicholas Tse, Coco Lee, Huang
Xiaoming, Han Hong, and others are scheduled to participate in
filming the music videos for over a dozen Olympic songs.
