There are many kinds of plants on the earth. All of them are important to human beings on the earth. They supply oxygen, food, shelter and clothing to human beings. When asked about what is the most important plant to me or to people of my country, I will definitely vote for rice. I will enumerate many reasons to make my point clear in the following paragraphs.
First, rice is the most vital food for all Chinese, Chinese living in the north and the south, from west to east. Common Chinese usually eat at least twice rice during one day while some Chinese even eat the rice twice or even three times in one day. When I come to America this year, some American friends often invite me to have dinner with them. After the dinner, I usually feel hungry although I eat many beef meat and fish during the dinner. For a long time, I am confused about myself until one day one of my friends told me the same felling of him. Yes, we felt hungry if we did not eat rice in the dinner. Without rice, we believe we do not have the dinner. We are adapted to eat rice as the main food.
Second, to Chinese, rice is not only rice, but also a part of culture of China. In Duanwu, a traditional Chinese festival, Chinese people always make zongzi, a Chinese rice food similar to dumpling, to memorize a great poet died in thousand years ago. The poet died for seeking the truth. Therefore, making zongzi by rice to memorize him means Chinese's persisting seeking the truth. Actually, there are many wonderful stories of rice about Chinese culture.
To sum up, because of reasons mentioned above, I believe that rice is the most vital plant to me as well as to the people of my country. Rice is not only one important main food of Chinese but also include many cultures in it. If visitors come to China, I strongly recommend them to listen to those beautiful stories to learn more about Chinese while eating rice dinner.
