Chinese farmer built a plane for his dream, carried out brave but dangerous flight test
A video about Chinese farmer Shu Mansheng and his plane gets featured on China’s biggest video website youku.com as the daily hottest videos. The story is that Mr. Shu carried out a live flight test with his home-brew plane which he took a month to built and cost him about $14,700 dollars. The plane really can fly, but only last 3 seconds and fell back to earth totally out of control. Thankfully his plane wasn’t able to fly higher or we just can’t imagine what would happen. It seems he just got light hurt on his legs and hands.
Before the flight, while being asked why he built the plane, Shu Mansheng Said it’s for his dream. He said his dream is to establish a school to give perfect teaching. No mention about what kind of school he wants to establish, perhaps a flight school or an engineering school, or just ordinary school to bring better education to children? His mother was there supporting him. Talking about his son, she seems proud and a little anxious, said, “He doesn’t fear”.
