    Lu Yonggen, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has donated life savings of 8.8 millions yuan to educational causes. The 87-year-old scientist says his achievements would not have been possible with the Communist Party of China, but that he is willing to make his last contribution to the country.

    In March, Lu and his wife transferred all the money they saved it in more than 10 bank accounts to South China Agricultural University to establish the educational fund sponsoring poverty-stricken students and talented young teachers. Lu herself also works hard in the field of rice genetics, climbing mountains in 2001 at the age of 70 to find wild rice. During the past five years, he fostered 33 new varieties of rice seeds what are grown on land covering 600,000 hectares.

    Despite a famous scientist, Lu lives a simply and humble life, using broken furniture dated back to the 1980s in his home.
