Read Paragraph 4 quickly.
Why did he train local students instead of sending city experts?
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 around 1,000 plants. Their hard work provided the world with lots of new information about the plants in China.
Because local students know Xizang better. They can stay longer to do the work. Also, more people can help. This way, the work does not stop after he leaves.

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."
No. He meant two things:
Real seeds will grow into plants.
His students and his spirit will continue his work.
So "seeds" also mean hope and the future.
