Yuan Longping is known as China's “father of hybrid rice”。 It's 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.
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 R&D Center andhas been appointed as Professor at Hunan Agricultural University,Changsha.He is a member of the Chinese Acade my 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.
China the great father of Hybrid Rice - Mr. Yuan Longping, was born in Beijing, he is our great Chinese rice engineering, biology professor, the United Nations Food Industry consultant.From the beginning of 1964, Mr. Yuan Longping began studying hybrid rice technology, to 1975 study successful cultivation techniques of hybrid rice, hybrid rice he for large area promotion foundation.In 1964to 1965in two rice blossom season, he and the team every day is so hard, feet on the mud, long bow, not tired a day and night, holding long-term backache, finally in the paddy fields found a natural male sterile plants.Yuan Longping experienced many failures, he did not flinch, he let us Chinese pride, let the whole world people sit up and take notice!
中国伟大的杂交水稻之父-袁隆平先生,出生于北京,他是我们中国的伟大的水稻工程学家、生物教授、联合国粮食业首席顾问.从1964年开始,袁隆平先生就开始研究杂交水稻技术,至1975年研究成功杂交水稻种植技术,他为大面积推广杂交水稻奠定了基础.在1964年至1965年两年的水稻开花季节里,他与研究小组每天都是如此的辛苦,双脚踩在烂泥中,长久的低头弯腰,不知劳累了多少个日日夜夜,强忍着长期性腰酸背痛,终于在稻田里发现一种天然雄性不育的植株.袁隆平先生经历的很多失败,他并没有退缩,他让我们中国人骄傲,让全世界的人刮目相看!
