Three students are sharing their favourite words.

“A good seed needs a healthy body, positive spirit and kind heart to grow strong and bear fruits. ” I learned this deeply from Yuan Longping’s life. Yuan Longping lived a simple life, cared about hungry people and devoted all his energy to feeding the world. He never cared about fame or money, but rooted himself in the land to do meaningful things. This saying helps me shape good qualities and live a valuable life. (Fu Xing)

“Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood.” The brave female scientist Marie Curie stuck to her research for years under terrible conditions.

She believed fear only comes from ignorance (无知). This saying reminds me to face difficulties bravely instead of running away from troubles. (Lucy)

He never accepted facts without thinking deeply. His endless curiosity helped him make world-famous achievements in physics. Einstein’s story tells us curiosity is the key to discovery. This saying teaches us to think actively and dare to ask “why” in study and life. (Chen Hao)

67-year-old Chinese agronomist (农学家) Hu Yuefang comes from Hunan province. He has worked in Madagascar (马达加斯加岛) for 18 years. He first arrived there in 2007. At that time, China started a project on the island to show its hybrid rice. The rice in Madagascar didn’t grow well because of poor soil and the climate (气候). Hu decided to stay and help. After many years of work, Hu and his team made five new kinds of rice seeds. They can grow well even in dry weather and heavy rains.

The harder task was making the local farmers believe and accept these “foreign” seeds. Hu decided to demonstrate the advantages.
