Retell his story
Known as the father of aerospace, Qian Xuesen was described as a man with “great scientific thought and scientific spirit” who was patriotic and extremely well-respected.
Born in Hangzhou in 1911,he switched his major to aviation in 1932. Then, in 1935, he went to America to pursue his graduate studies. During the period of 1930s to 1940s, he became a pioneer in USA jet and rocket technology,conduct important research into rocket propulsion, and founded JPL.In 1955, he returned to China. In 1970, under Qian’s leadership,China launched the first man-made satellite,Dong Fang Hong I. He died in 2009.

Summarize spirits of Qian Xuesen
Born in Hangzhou in 1911, Qian attended schools in Beijing and then entered Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study Railway Mechanical Engineering. However, after the Songhu Battle broke out in 1932, Qian made the decision to switch his major to aviation because he realised that China needed its own powerful air force to protect and defend the country. Qian went to the United States in 1935 to pursue his graduate studies. Over the course of the 1930s and 1940s, Qian became a pioneer in American jet and rocket technology. As a graduate assistant at the California Institute of Technology during the 1930s, Qian helped conduct important research into rocket propulsion, and in the 1940s, he and several other people founded the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, now one of NASA’s leading spaceexploration centres.

Summarize spirits of Qian Xuesen
After overcoming some difficulties during his final few years in the US, Qian returned to China in 1955. He received a hero’s welcome from his homeland and was put in charge of not only developing China’s rocket science but also its space and missile programme. At that time, China was poor and its rocket science was undeveloped. No institute or university in China offered rocket science as a major, and there were no talents or experts in this field in China. Nevertheless, Qian did not let that discourage him from taking on the challenge. When asked “Can we Chinese possibly make missiles ”, his reply was a determined “Why not We Chinese are able to make the same things that other people make.” Under Qian’s leadership, China developed the Dongfeng missiles, followed by the first generation of Long March rockets. In 1970, China successfully launched its first man-made satellite, Dong Fang Hong I, from a Long March rocket. Because much of the technology behind the Shenzhou rockets can also be traced back to Qian’s research, Qian earned the name of “the father of China’s aerospace.”

Summarize spirits of Qian Xuesen
creative/hardworking
Qian read a lot and was extremely knowledgeable, especially in the area of frontier science research. However, what might have made him such an outstanding and creative scientist was probably his strong interest in other things, such as music and drawing. His deep appreciation for art often gave him inspiration in his scientific research.

Para 2
Hawking first achieved fame when he was still healthy enough to walk, as a graduate student in physics at Cambridge University in 1964. In general, there were two main theories on the origin of the universe. The first was the steady state theory, which holds that the universe has no beginning or end. The other was the big bang theory, which holds that the universe began at a single point in time and space. The biggest champion of the steady state concept was Fred Hoyle, a professor at Cambridge. During the question and answer period after one of Hoyle’s lectures, Hawking stood up and pointed out that Hoyle had made a mistake in his maths. Once the maths was corrected, it showed that the big bang theory—and not the steady state theory— was true. Hawking’s own work on the big bang theory was soon proven by astronomers with telescopes. A star was born.

So, What made Stephen Hawking a genius Besides being brilliant, he was brave, though sometimes careless in what he said or did. He was willing to say what others were afraid to say, and to dream of what others were afraid to dream about. Furthermore, he was quite determined. This had helped him as a scientist, and had helped him even more in his ght against his disease. Above all, Hawking was willing to admit his faults. This odd combination of characteristics had made him one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th and 21st centuries.

THE MAN WHO FED CHINA AND THE WORLD
Born on September 7th,1930 in Beijing,Yuan Longping studied hard since childhood，showing great interest in agriculture,who was one of the most well-known scientists in China.
After graduating from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953, Yuan did research on rice for over half a century,devoting all his time and energy to the study of agriculture. Having seen so many people suffering from hunger, Yuan was determined to develop and create a new kind of rice—the “Super Hybrid Rice”. Because of his research,China’s rice production is increasing rapidly, which solved the problem of food shortages for many countries. As a result, he is honored as “Father of Hybrid Rice” and was rewarded with many prizes for his great contributions to the world.
Famous as he was, he cared little about fortune and fame, living a simple life.
