Up to now, Zhang has sent her dolls to 12 children's hospitals in 8 different provinces. Many children have written letters back to her to tell her that her dolls help them stay positive during treatment. Some of them have even sent Zhang drawings they made.

The man behind this great achievement is Yuan Longping, known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice". Yuan spent his whole life working to end hunger, and his work still helps feed millions of people today, years after his death in 2021. Yuan was born in 1930. When he was a young man, he saw many people suffering from hunger. That made him decide to study agriculture and find ways to grow more rice on the same piece of land. In the 1960s, he started his research on hybrid rice. At that time, many scientists thought hybrid rice could not be developed successfully, but Yuan did not give up. After thousands of failed experiments, he finally developed the first high-yield hybrid rice in 1975. Thanks to Yuan's work, China's rice production has increased by hundreds of millions of tons over the past 50 years, and China has been able to feed nearly 20% of the world's population with just 7% of the world's farmland. His hybrid rice technology has also been introduced to more than 50 other countries, helping them improve their rice production. Yuan once said his biggest dream was to "lie under the shade of a rice crop taller than a person, with rice grains as big as peanuts". He worked until the last days of his life to make his dream come true. Today, young Chinese scientists continue his work, and many new hybrid rice types with higher yields have been developed. Yuan's story tells us that one person's dream and hard work can change the world for the better. He always put people's needs first, and his spirit of dedication will inspire generations of young people. 11. What is Yuan Longping popularly known as? A. The Father of Rice B.

Zhang first got the idea in 2018, after she visited a children's hospital. She saw many sick children staying in bed all day, feeling lonely and scared. She remembered when she was young, her mother made small cloth dolls for her to cheer her up when she was sad. "A small doll can't cure illness, but it can give kids a little warmth," Zhang said. Every morning, Zhang sits by her window to cut cloth, sew (缝) and paint dolls. Each doll is about 10cm tall, with a big smile and bright clothes. She writes a small encouraging note on every doll: "You will get better soon!" It takes her about two hours to make one doll, but she never thinks it is tiring. Up to now, Zhang has sent her dolls to 12 children's hospitals in 8 different provinces. Many children have written letters back to her to tell her that her dolls help them stay positive during treatment. Some of them have even sent Zhang drawings they made. "I can't do big things for these kids, but I can give them a little happiness with my own hands. That makes my life meaningful," Zhang said. 1.

He turned his family's small storeroom into a free library for village kids. This is his story. Ilham loved reading when he was a little boy, but his village did not have any public libraries. His family only had enough money to buy a few books for him every year. "When I finished reading a book, I had no new books to read. I didn't want kids today to have the same problem," Ilham said.

The Ilham Village Library opened in March 2025. Now more than 50 kids come to read or borrow books every weekend.

The man behind this great achievement is Yuan Longping, known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice". Yuan spent his whole life working to end hunger, and his work still helps feed millions of people today, years after his death in 2021. Yuan was born in 1930. When he was a young man, he saw many people suffering from hunger. That made him decide to study agriculture and find ways to grow more rice on the same piece of land.

After thousands of failed experiments, he finally developed the first high-yield hybrid rice in 1975. Thanks to Yuan's work, China's rice production has increased by hundreds of millions of tons over the past 50 years, and China has been able to feed nearly 20% of the world's population with just 7% of the world's farmland. His hybrid rice technology has also been introduced to more than 50 other countries, helping them improve their rice production. Yuan once said his biggest dream was to "lie under the shade of a rice crop taller than a person, with rice grains as big as peanuts". He worked until the last days of his life to make his dream come true. Today, young Chinese scientists continue his work, and many new hybrid rice types with higher yields have been developed.
