His friends and family call him “Big Feng” because he is very tall and played basketball as a young man. But he is also big in a different way—he fights hard to protect China’s past. His real name is Feng Jicai and he has written many novels about life in China.Several years ago, however, he put down his pen for a while and began to protect the cultural relics （文化遗产）in Tianjin where he lived. Once someone asked him why he no longer wrote. He replied that at the moment he felt protecting cultural relics was more important.Feng loves his hometown. He believes that old things must be given a place next to new things, or people will soon forget their great past. He does not make speeches to get others to help him in his projects. Instead, he goes out and does what he can himself. If others follow him, so much the better. One of his biggest projects was to protect the oldest street in Tianjin. Along that street some shops had been in business for seven hundred years. Although the city government rebuilt this street, they did save its oldest building. Another project was more successful: he suggested the city government reserve（保留）some land in the centre of the city so it could not be sold for business. This area is very important for the history of Tianjin. It was here that the city was first built during the Song Dynasty Later many treasures were found here.To Feng, digging down into the earth is like reading a book page after page. Each dynasty found in the earth is like an interesting story. Not long ago, he and other writers and artists took photos of the old parts of Tianjin. The photos were put into a book which was very popular. The money from the book helps his projects.

With two in five plant species at risk（风险） of disappearance, the Germplasm Bank of Wild Species（野生生物种质资源库）, or GBOWS, in Yunnan Province is racing against time to protect the nation’s plant species.Founded in 2007, GBOWS is a research and preservation（保存）bank for rare and endangered plants and animals. As the largest bank of wild species in Asia in terms of species, GBOWS has preserved 85,046 seeds from 10,601 species and 60, 262 biological samples（生物样本）of 2,203 animal species. The numbe r of seeds at GBOWS is close to that of the world’s biggest seed bank —the Millennium Seed Bank in the United Kingdom.So how does the bank work? Scientists collect the endangered and useful wild species and send them to the seed bank. Once the seeds arri ve at GBOWS, they’re dried and preserved in a special room. X-rays will make sure the seeds are undamaged and no insects are hidden inside after they are cleaned and separated（使……分离） from broken ones. The seeds are then frozen, preserved in glass bottles and placed in a huge room at -20 ℃ for long-term preservation. Each bottle has a barcode(条形码). By scanning it, scientists can view detailed information about the seeds inside.The bank works with many international organizations on collection, exchange and research. It has 2,176 sets of seeds from 45 countries and regions, with each set including thousands of seeds.“As China has rich and special plant and animal species, we plan to increase the number of our collections and make further research to protect endangered species,” says Li Pei, a worker at GBOWS. “If the world ends one day, these collections will bring hope of a new beginning to life on Earth.”1.
