Born in 1930 and a graduate from the Southwest Agriculture Institute In 1953, Yuan began his teaching career at an agriculture school in Anjiang, Hunan Province. He came up with an idea for hybrid rice in the 1960s.Since then, he has devoted(贡献) himself to the research and development of a better rice breed. In 1964, he happened to find a natural hybrid rice plant that had obvious (明显的)advantages over others. In 1973, in cooperation with others, he was able to develop a type of hybrid rice species which had great advantages. The next year their research made a breakthrough in seeding. They successfully developed a set of technologies .For this achievement, he was dubbed the "Father of Hybrid Rice." His contribution to the mankind is enormous. At present, as much as 60 percent of China's total rice grown is Yuan Longping’s hybrid rice species. More rice so produced is enough to feed 60 million people. The "Super Rice" Yuan is now testing yields(收益) 30 percent higher than those of common rice.
