A moss interested man

Botanist Ma Wenzhang is someone who enjoys getting lost in his work and will often go to extremes to find the best specimens, Li Yingxue reports.

The old saying "a rolling stone gathers no moss" has evolved over the years, coming to mean that one must keep moving in order to stay fresh and keen, particularly when it comes to a career. But, what about those who are always moving around, doing so to literally only gather moss?

People like Ma Wenzhang from Chongqing, for example.

You see, in this age of information, having so much knowledge at one's fingertips is only made possible because of those that seek it out in the first place. As such, when it comes to things like botany, collecting specimens still relies on manual work－people still need to go deep into the forest to pick and identify the plants.
