8、nd Development Center in Hunan Province, China (中國(guó)湖南省國(guó)家雜交水稻研究與發(fā)展中心). He is called a pioneer for all people.,Dr Yuan Longping (袁隆平博士),他是一位真正的耕耘者。當(dāng)他還是一個(gè)鄉(xiāng)村教師的時(shí)候，已經(jīng)具有顛覆世界權(quán)威的膽識(shí)；當(dāng)他名滿天下的時(shí)候，卻仍然只是專注于田疇。淡薄名利，一介農(nóng)夫，播撒智慧，收獲富足。他畢生的夢(mèng)想，就是讓所有人遠(yuǎn)離饑餓。喜看稻菽千重浪，最是風(fēng)流袁隆平！ - 袁隆平在2004感動(dòng)中國(guó)中的頒獎(jiǎng)詞,他在接受“感動(dòng)中國(guó)”欄目組采訪時(shí)說(shuō)：“這不是我個(gè)人的榮譽(yù)，而是國(guó)
