For Yuan Longping, the dream was that he would grow grains of rice as large as peanuts, and that farmers could relax in the large shadow of their plants.His dream came true. Yuan is known as Chinas father of hybrid(雜交的) rice. He is known for creating a type of rice that has a high yield.He came up with the idea of hybridizing rice in the 1960s,when China was suffering a serious famine(饑荒). Ten years later, he grew a new species that produced a 20 percent higher yield than common types of rice.Compared with the ordinary rice, the hybrid is highly adaptable. It is a stronger plant that can better bear drought and waterlogging(水澇),as well as diseases and worms.Half of Chinas rice crops are Yuans special rice. And the countrys total rice production has greatly increased. Today, Yuan continues to try and increase the yield of rice. If you ask him whether rice quality or quantity should come first, his answer is always the latter.“First we must have enough food, and then we must eat well,” he said. But he added that a high yield did not necessarily mean a low quality.Money and fame follow such great achievements. A seed company in Shenzhen used Yuans name and in return, he got a share of 2 million yuan.But he said, “That figure means nothing. Im satisfied with my life.
