Yuan Longping is known as Chinas “father of hybrid rice”. Its said that in China, we eat depending on “Two Ping” ---- Deng Xiaoping, who made the policy of System of Production Responsibility, Yuan Longping, who invented hybrid rice. Yuan Longping, who was born in September, 1930, graduated from Agriculture Department in Southwest Agricultural Institute. He has been working on agriculture education & the research into hybrid rice since he left the institute. In the 1960s, when China was suffering serious famine, he came up with the idea of hybrid rice, which has a high yield. Ten years later, he succeeded in inventing a new species that produced a 20 percent higher yield than common types of rice. Yuan devoted himself to the research into agriculture, & was honored by UNESCO & FAO. Although he is 70 years old, he is still working on the research into agriculture.
Book4 M4 composition(李晓婉) Yuanlongping is a great scientist who is devoted to agriculture. Let me introduce him. From an early age he was hard-working and was curious about everything, that is why he was given the nick name, “the student who asks questions.”He studied agriculture in collage and began experiments in crop breeding. He thought that only by crossing different species of rice plant can we solve the food problem.
Step by step, Yuan became the leading figure of the rice-growing world. In 1970 he made a breakthrough which is supported by government. Yuan made a contribution in agriculture, not only to China, but to the whole world. As far as I am concerned, he is more than a scientist. He is a hero.
Yuan Longping (born September 7,1930) is a Chinese agricultural scientist and educator,known for developing the first hybrid rice varieties in the 1970s.His "hybrid rice" has since been grown in dozens of countries in Africa,America,
and Asia —providing a robust food source in high famine risk areas.Mr.Yuan won the State Preeminent Science and Technology Award of China in 2000,the Wolf Prize in agriculture and the World Food Prize in 2004.He is currently is DirectorGeneral of the China National Hybrid Rice RD Center and has been appointed as Professor at Hunan Agricultural University,Changsha.He is a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering,foreign associate of the US National Academy of Sciences (2006) and the 2006 CPPCC.Mr.Yuan was born in Beijing,China.He loves playing Majong and the Erhu (Chinese violin),swimming and motorcycling.
