To me, one of the most inspiring people in Chinese history is Mozi (about 468-376 BCE). It is said that Mozi was a soldier, good at woodwork, and was the inventor of the kite. But in fact, above all, he was a great thinker.
Mozi lived during the Warring States Period. Back then, many kingdoms were fighting against each other. In these wars, the common people were always hurt. To Mozi, this had to stop, so he spent his lifetime trying to bring peace.

Warring States
Though Mozi lived more than 2,000 years ago, his ideas live on. I think he is still a great inspiration to many people. Now, more than ever, people around the world need to hear the message of love and peace, and work together to build a community of a shared future for mankind.
His idea of love was one reason that Mozi wanted peace. It was important to him that everyone should show the same kindness and care to everyone else, whether they were family, friends, or strangers. He also believed states should avoid attacking one another.

Universal love(兼爱) :
Love others as you love yourself, without distinction between family and strangers.
Non-aggression(非攻) :
Oppose unjust wars and aggression between states.
Practical spirit(实践精神) :
Mozi was also a skilled engineer and logician.

Among all the inspiring people, the one I admire most is Yuan Longping, a great seed scientist.
He spent all his life developing better rice to help feed more people and reduce hunger. It was really admirable of him to keep working on his research day and night, even in difficult times. His hard work and never-give-up spirit have made a big difference to the whole world.
Yuan Longping's story always cheers me up. I learn that no dream is too big if we keep going. From now on, I will put more effort into my study and try to help others.
