COMPREHENSION Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
Eugene Mazel created a bamboo park in Southeast France that draws admirers from all around the world, including Asia. What prompted him to
recreate this dream of Asia in Southeast France?
Through his frequent contact with the East, he took an interest in Asian
plant life. This interest led him to import oddities such as the Japanese persimmon, the Chinese palm and several orchid species that were previously
unheard of in the West. But, the one that captured Mazel's attention was
bamboo.
Except for the widely travelled, bamboo was then practically unknown in
Europe. To Mazel, the slender green stems seemed to contain all the wisdom
of the East. He later came to learn that bamboo symbolised the perfection of
the spirit for Buddhists and Taoists. The sections between the nodes
represent virtue separating the mistakes in life, while the hollow stems call for
people to be modest and humble.
Mazel became obsessed with the idea of acclimatising bamboo in his
native region. He bought an estate and spent thousands of dollars digging a
mile-long canal to irrigate the precious bamboo plants that he had shipped over. Many people thought Mazel had gone insane but he knew that bamboo
was integral to the lives of billions of men and women from birth to death. Its
tender shoots provided food for Asians. Its roots held down the soil and
prevented erosion and bamboo stems could be made into decorative and
useful articles.
However, Mazel went into financial crisis when disease destroyed his
silkworm farm and vineyards. He had to give up his property to a bank and
that was the end of his dream until many years later.
