A pioneer for all people

Although

he is one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers

himself a farmer, for he works the land to do

his research. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom

he has struggled

for the past five decades. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super

hybrid rice. In 1974, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that

has a high output. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce

one-third more of the crop in the

same fields. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is

from this hybrid strain.

Born

in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from

Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow

more rice has

been his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing

the rice output. At that time,

hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced. These increased

harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed

from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now circulating

his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less

developed countries to increase

their rice harvests. Thanks to

his research, the UN has more

tools in the battle to rid

the world of hunger. Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before.

Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life. However, he doesn't care about being famous. He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research. He would much rather keep time for his hobbles. He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming

and reading. Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also means

very little to him. Indeed, he believes that a person with too much

money has more

rather than fewer troubles. He therefore

gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture.

Just dreaming for things,

however, costs nothing. Long ago Dr yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum. Each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream: to export his rice so that it can be grown

around the globe. One dream is not always enough, especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.
