Look at these things and guess who invented them ?
It’s Mozi.
Share what you know about Mozi.
Mozi was an ancient Chinese philosopher who started a school of thought called Mohism. He is most famous for teaching "Universal Love," the idea that we should care for all people equally, not just our own family and friends. He strongly opposed attacking other countries and was also a brilliant engineer who designed machines to help cities defend themselves in wars.

Sample Writing
To me, one of the most inspiring people in modern history is Tu Youyou, a great Chinese medical scientist. Born in 1930, she has dedicated her life to fighting deadly diseases around the world.
Tu Youyou lived and worked in China at a time when malaria was killing millions of people every year. She knew she had to find a solution, so she spent years researching traditional Chinese medicine to discover a cure.
Her biggest achievement was discovering artemisinin, a medicine that treats malaria. She did thousands of experiments, and even tested the medicine on herself to make sure it was safe. She believed that everyone deserved access to life-saving treatment, no matter where they lived.
Though Tu Youyou is in her 90s, her spirit of perseverance and selflessness lives on. I think she is still a great inspiration to scientists and people everywhere. Now, more than ever, the world needs her courage and dedication to fight global health challenges and build a healthier future for all.
