Zhou Xun is a Champion of the Earth.

That isn't a new Marvel Comics superhero but an award given by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). She got the "Inspiration and Action" award and immedeately donated the cash prize to earthquake relief in western China. You can read about it here or just take a look at the pictures, all of which are from UNEP.



The presentation of the the fierce looking award by Yaun Xikun, the artist who created it. The black lightbulb floating above the lion is on the backdrop and not part of the award although it might have worked--"Lights out for lions" or something like that.


A UNEP official gives her a scroll fittingly enough made from recycled glass. This may have been toward the end of the show--six awards were presented--since it seems as if her hair is getting a little unruly. Actually a nice look for Zhou Xun.


An informal moment with some of her fellow awardees. "So a polar bear, a black rhino and an ivory-billed woodpecker walk into a bar..."
