Let’s learn.
It is important for seed banks to include many different kinds of seeds. When Zhong Yang discovered that there was not enough research on the seeds from Xizang, he went there to collect seeds himself. In 2001, he began his travels across Xizang. It was very difficult for him to brave the cold weather and great heights. He sometimes fell sick, but he always continued with his work.
Zhong Yang knew it was better to include more people when doing important work. He began a programme to find and train local students in field research to become scientists. Together, he and his team collected more than 40 million seeds from over 1,000 types of plants. Their hard work provided the world with lots of new information about the plants in China.

Let’s learn.
Zhong Yang left behind more than just a huge collection of seeds. His love for his job and research lives on in his students. He once said, "My students will continue on the road of scientific exploration, and the seeds we have collected may grow hundreds of years from now.
leave behind sth.
explore--exploration
Was Zhong Yang’s work worth the risk? Why or why not?
Critical Thinking
No, Some people may think the risk was too high because he often worked in dangerous places and became sick. His family and health also mattered.
👉 Great achievements often require courage and sacrifice. But society should also remember and respect the people who quietly take these risks for the future.
Yes, I think it was worth the risk because his work helped protect many kinds of plants and seeds for the future. His research also trained more young scientists and provided important information for China and the world. Although the work was difficult and dangerous, it was meaningful and valuable.
Why did Zhong Yang want more people to do seed collection and research?
What makes Zhong Yang admirable? What can we learn from him?
1f Discuss the questions.
Because important work needs more people. He wanted to train
local students to help and continue the work.
His bravery, hard work, and love for science made him admirable.
We can learn to be curious, never give up, and care about nature.
1f Discuss the questions.
3. What other admirable scientists do you know of? What can you learn
from their stories?
I think Yuan Longping is an admirable scientist. He spent his whole life developing new kind of rice to reduce hunger.
I learn that we should try our best to help who are in need.
I learn that we should stick to doing what we love.
