Han Bi-Ya is one of the most respected persons among university students. She is my hero because she has a passion for her life, also for the whole world, so I can feel energy from her.
Han Bi-Ya was born in 1958 and graduated from Hongik University. She was most known to people for her books. She is a travel writer, who published a number of best-selling travel books, including 'It was a love', 'China travelog'. Her books are so realistic, plain, and touching that it's not easy to stop reading.
Whatever dreams people have, they easily compromise them with reality, but, she was different. She was a woman of great ability, so she was given a speedy promotion. However, for her dream, she quit her job and went abroad for a round-world tour. From 1993 to 1999, she traveled China, Israel, Afghanistan, Palestine, Mongolia, Tibet, etc. She pursued the things that have value, not money.

For instance, she works for NGO World Vision and leads the Emergency Relief Team. She has helped the poor in world. It is not easy to help others with risk of civil war, bomb terror and infectious diseases. At the age of 43, she went to China for a year to learn Chinese. Most people think that age is too late for learning something new, but she has a passion and courage worth following. She is someone who is really enjoying her life.
Many people say that they want to take a world tour, study something new, or help others, but, there are few people who put ideas into action. Han Bi-ya is a hero who is a doer, not a talker. She is worthy of love, praise and respect.
