In the dream, he grew a new type of rice that was as big as a peanut. The plant allowed farmers to rest in its shade. That child was Yuan Longping. In the 1960s, a few years after he finished his studies in agriculture at university, he came up with an idea for hybrid rice. Since then, he has spent much of his time researching and developing new varieties. In 1973, together with other scientists, he succeeded in developing hybrid rice. The introduction of this new product made China a leader in rice production. For this, he became known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice”. In 1980, the technology for hybrid rice was introduced to the United States and, later, to many other countries around the world. “Doing research is like high jumping,” Dr. Yuan once said. “A new height is waiting for you after each jump. You will fall behind if you give up jumping.” In 2020, the 90-year-old was still setting higher goals for super hybrid rice. In his spare time, Dr. Yuan loves playing the violin and listening to music. Every night, he reads for half an hour before he goes to sleep. He likes swimming, too. Yuan Longping, the great scientist, passed away at the age of 91 in Changsha on May 22, 2021. Dr. Yuan worked most of his life growing better rice.
