China DailyA display of various kinds of durians, including the red-fleshed wild Sukang variety, obtained by Yang Xiaoyang in Limbang, Malaysia, in 2019. Having sampled more than 1,000 species, Yang Xiaoyang can easily meet whatever the criteria is for a fruit hunter. Yang, 32, was born in rural Henan province and he has explored hundreds of rainforests and orchards around the world since 2009, recording over 30,000 species of plants, nearly 10 percent of the world's total. From the endangered Lodoicea maldivica that grows only in the Seychelles to the rare Keppel apple, which ancient Indonesians believed would make one's body fragrant with a distinct scent of violets, these bizarre fruits are all documented by Yang. Yang, whose online username is Buguai Shusheng, has been labeled the man who has tasted the most types of fruit in China and he has garnered more than 1 million followers on micro-blogging platform Sina Weibo.
