Those who pass away or get injured while trying to save another’s life in danger or disaster, even though it was not their responsibility, are considered righteous.
Some became famous like Lee Soo-hyeon who saved someone who fell on the tracks at the subway station, and Ahn Chi-beom who ran into an apartment on fire and helped the residents escape by going to every door to let them know. Nimal from Sri Lanka, who was burned while saving an elderly neighbor whose house caught on fire, is also regarded as righteous.
Those people are remembered as the righteous for a long time. It is impossible to risk their own lives to save others in such an urgent situation without outstanding courage. In this world, what is more remarkable than saving another’s life? Their noble spirit of sacrifice serves as an example for many people and helps the world become a better place.
