Yuan Longping talks about the release of the precious image of the dream of enjoying the cool under the river! Review, tears streaming down my face

"I dream that rice grows higher than sorghum, and the ear is longer than broom. My colleagues and I sit under the ear to enjoy the cool." "I dream that the ear is heavy, and the grain is nearly as big as peanuts"... These are two happy dreams of Mr. Yuan. His wish is very simple: "want to cultivate high-yield varieties, to make a little contribution to improve food production.". Remember! Salute!

Netizen: miss you forever! Salute!

Yuan Longping, winner of the "Medal of the Republic", academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, director of the National Hybrid Rice Engineering Technology Research Center, and former vice chairman of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference, died of multiple organ failure in Changsha at 13:07 on May 22, 2021. He was 91 years old.

Zhao Lijian said that after the death of Yuan Longping, a famous Chinese scientist, winner of the medal of the people's Republic of China and academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, people from all walks of life at home and abroad expressed deep mourning, which fully shows that his contribution to the cause of hybrid rice in China and even the world has been widely recognized and highly valued. His death is a great loss to China and the world, and he will always be remembered and remembered by people.

Zhao Lijian said that at present, the annual planting area of hybrid rice in China has reached 240 million mu, and the annual increase in grain production alone can support 80 million people. China uses less than 9% of the world's arable land, feeds nearly one fifth of the world's population, and holds its rice bowl firmly in its own hands, which is inseparable from Academician Yuan Longping's hard work. At the same time of increasing grain production and income, we have always held an open and responsible attitude and generously shared hybrid rice technology with countries all over the world.

Zhao Lijian introduced that the export of China's hybrid rice technology is almost synchronized with the opening up. In 1979, China provided hybrid rice seeds to foreign countries for the first time. 40 years later, China's hybrid rice has been planted in dozens of countries and regions in Asia, Africa and America, with an annual planting area of 8 million hectares. Over the past 40 years, Academician Yuan Longping and his researchers have also been to India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, the United States and other countries to provide advice and advice for rice researchers, and have trained more than 14000 hybrid rice professionals for more than 80 developing countries through international training courses. These efforts have made great contributions to solving the problem of world hunger and poverty.

"The golden and heavy rice makes countless people enjoy the happiness of food and the hope of life." Zhao Lijian said that Academician Yuan Longping belongs not only to China, but also to the world. His lifelong dream is to make hybrid rice cover the world, so that all people will not go hungry. China has created a miracle of food self-sufficiency and is willing and able to continue to make greater contributions to the governance of global food security. We believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, Academician Yuan Longping's dream will come true, and hunger and poverty will eventually disappear from the earth.
