Same reason Jet Li was considered a hero in China after the National Wu Shu team toured the United States. It would seem they were meeting Richard Nixon he was asked by Nixon to be his personal bodyguard. Li not even a teenager at the time replied, "I don't want to protect any individual. When I grow up, I want to defend my one billion Chinese countrymen!"

It's more about what they represent and did that made them heroes in their own right. To "stand up" to the other side and come out on top.
