Known as the "father of hybrid rice",Yuan Longping
has devoted his life to the Chinese farmers.Once,China had a
serious shortage of food.To tackle this crisis,alleviate hunger
and get rid of poverty,Yuan was convinced that farmers
must boost yields in the fields they had.One characteristic of
hybrids showed that they could attain a
higher yield than conventional crops.Through intense effort,
Yuan overcame enormous difficulties to develop the first
hybrid rice that enabled farmers to expand their output greatly.
Today,it is estimated that about 60 percent
of domestic rice consumption in China is comprised of
crops generated from Yuan's hybrid strains.Deep down,Yuan is
still very much a farmer at heart.As a man of the soil,he
cares little for celebrity or money.Despite his wealth,Yuan
Longping doesn't live a life of leisure.His assumption is that
he envisioned rice plants as tall as sorghum,with each ear of
rice as big as a broom,and each grain of rice as huge as a
peanut.His latest vision for rice growing in salty land has also
become a reality.
