A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLE
Although he is one of Chinas 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 into a poor farmers family 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 worlds 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 doesnt 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
