Life science in China had got preliminary development in the first half of the 20th century. In the second half of the 20th century, molecular biology began to be apphed to life science. Then biological molecule, enzymatic structure and function, biological film, molecular genetics and gene project etc acquired greater accomplishments. Crystalline Bovine Insulin with relatively high activity （in 1965） and Yeast Alanine Transfer Ribonucleic Acid with the same natural chemical structure and complete biology activity （in 1981） were f＇trstly synthesized in the world. This achievement has stimulated Chinese life scientists to profounder and broader research. The pioneering works that has important significance to develop life science, agriculture and medicine were successively published, including the sequencing of human genome that has resounding impacts recently （in 2000） and mechanism research on drosophila selectivity behavior （in 2001）. China participated in the human genome project as its unique member from developing countries.
