The man who puts an end to hunger 淡薄名利，如果他申请专利的话，或许他现在是中国最富有的人，可是他却把专利无私地贡献给国家；
Mr. Yuan was born in Beijing, China. He loves playing Mahjong and the Erhu (a Chinese bowed instrument), swimming, sudoku, and motorcycling.
Born in 1930 and a graduate from the Southwest Agriculture Institute in 1953, Yuan began his teaching career at an agriculture school in Anjiang, Hunan Province.
He came up with an idea for hybridizing rice in the 1960s, when a series of natural disasters and inappropriate policies had plunged China into an unprecedented famine that caused many deaths.
Since then, he has devoted himself to the research and development of a better rice breed. In 1964, he happened to find a natural hybrid rice plant that had obvious advantages over others. Greatly encouraged, he began to study the elements of this particular type.
The biggest problem by then, was having no known method to reproduce hybrid rice in mass quantities, and that was what Yuan set out to solve. In 1964, Yuan created his theory of using the probably-existing naturally-mutated male-sterile rice individuals for the creation of reproductive hybrid ri
ce species, and in two years he managed to find a few individuals of such male-sterile rice that he foretelled, which could be used for his research. Subsequent experiments proved his theory feasible, which was his most important contribution on hybrid rice.
Contribution to the World
在线翻译英文翻译In 1979, his technique for hybrid rice was introduced into the United States, the first case of intellectual property rights transfer in the history of new China.
He has gone abroad every year to provide guidance. He also sent scientists to India, Vietnam, Myanmar and Bangladesh to work as advisors. Between 1981 and 1998, the Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center under Yuan Longping held 38 training classes with over 100 participants from 15 countries. With the help of Chinese scientists, the acreage of hybrid rice in Vietnam and India increased to 200,000 hectares and 150,000 hectares respectively in 1999.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization 1991 statistics show that 20 percent of the world's rice output came from 10 percent of the world's rice fields that grow hybrid rice.
