    Today, our planes can fly in the sky freely and our spaceship can fly to the space. But at the beginning of the 20th century, airplane is a new thing. Only a few people can make it. Feng Ru was one of the greatest planedesigners and makers at that time. 
  On December 15, 1883, Feng Ru was born in Guangdong Province. When he was only 12 years old, he went to America to make a living. He worked in a factory as a worker. In the evening he went to learn English and study the mechanics. In 1907, with the help of local Chinese, he set up a factory to make planes. But his first flight failed. Feng Ru didn't give up. In the January of 1909, he made another plane. This time he failed again. Feng Ru borrowed a pigeon and studied it for a long time. On September 21, 1909, his third test flight succeeded! Later that year, he won the first place in the World Flight Competition. 
  At that time, China was in wars. In order to help the revolution, Feng Ru returned to Guangzhou in 1911. He took back two planes and set up a factory to make machines and planes. On August 25, 1912, he made a flight near Guangzhou. But the plane fell to the ground and he died.
