Heroine?
Definition of Hero: a person who is idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.
Zhan is a perfect example of what a hero is because she was a voice for others who were not able to take the exam because of where they lived.She requested a debate with citizens in Shanghai who oppose nonresidents taking the entrance exam which took place in front of the office of the Shanghai Education Commission. She continued with the debate even though there were parents waiting there with masks that said "NO!". Zhan continued with her protests even though she received anonymous threats many times
