Zhong Yang was born in 1964. When he was young, he showed a deep lovefor and a curiosity about the things he studied. He was an excellent student,entering university at the early age of 15. There, he studied radio engineering and later became interested in plants. The research and study of plants,especially the seeds, became the focus of his life after he became a professor atFudan University.
It is important for seed banks to include many different kinds of seeds. WhenZhong Yang discovered that there was not enough research on the seeds from Xizang, he went there to collect seeds himself.
