Sample
To me, one of the most inspiring people in China is Yuan Longping. He was a farmer’s son, a university teacher, and the father of hybrid rice. But in fact, above all, he was a great scientist who cared deeply about people.
Yuan Longping lived during a hard time. Back then, hunger was a serious problem across China. Many people suffered from hunger every day. To Yuan Longping, this had to stop, so he spent his whole life trying to develop better rice for people.
It was important to him that everyone should have enough food to eat, whether they lived in big cities or in poor villages. He also believed that scientists should work in the fields, not just in labs.
Though Yuan Longping passed away at the age of 91, his ideas live on. I think he is still a great inspiration to many young people. We need to follow his spirit of working hard and never giving up.
