How many watermelons have you eaten this summer? It is said that Chinese people eat 16 billion watermelons every year! That means 50 kilograms of watermelon for each person!
However, people in other countries are not so interested in this fruit. That is because they usually can't afford it. In Sweden, you need to spend 35 yuan to buy just $\frac{1}{8}$ of the fruit. In Japan, one watermelon costs around 150 yuan and the taste may not be good.
Chinese people need to thank Wu Mingzhu for their cheap and tasty watermelons. Wu Mingzhu is a melon expert（专家）. She worked in the melon field for more than 60 years, and she has cultivated（培育） more than 30 kinds of melons in China. Born in Wuhan in 1930, Wu finished university in 1953. In 1955, she volunteered to study melon in Xinjiang. She and her team spent three years visiting many places there, collecting over 100 pieces of information about melon. In 1984, they cultivated “8424”, a high-quality（高质量） watermelon in China. Thanks to her great work, the cultivation of melon in China has greatly changed.
At the age of 81, she got ill. But even when she was ill, she would care about the study of melon. For her, the best thing in life is to bring the sweetness to the people.
