Rice is one of the most commonly eaten basic foods around the world.Buying it and cooking it is a daily matter.Yet for many,its presence has been a matter of life and death.It is a main food because it is easy to grow,besides low cost and convenience.A poor community in the developing world may find it difficult to bring in foreign fruits or raise cattle for meat,but it can almost certainly use the land it has in order to grow plenty of rice.
This was the great achievement of Yuan Longping,who passed away on May 22 this year.A great Chinese scientist,Yuan successfully developed what is known as "hybrid rice" which can produce up a 30% higher output.Yuan Longping was born in the year 1930,a time when China was very different.It was a nation,without modern industry,depending on the rice which they grew.The first few decades (十年) of his life were met with major social events,and a rapidly growing population that made food supply not last all the time.This experience left its mark on Yuan Longping,which made him focus on (关注) farming science and work on his research of hybrid rice.
His achievement would see the rice supply in China increasing from 56.9 million tons in 1950 to 194.7 million tons by 2017.By 1991,20% of the world's rice output came from hybrid rice,even if only being planted in 10% of fields.
Always remember,human development begins first with the most basic and sample things,such as developing rice.We should be thankful for scientific thinkers like Yuan.

A Pioneer for all People

Dr Yuan was quite satisfied with his life.He would much rather keep time for his hobbies.He enjoyed playing the violin,swimming and reading.Spending money on himself meant very little to him,so he gave millions of yuan to help some researchers with their research in farming.

In 1988,Wang Chengbang retired(退休)from the army.Instead of enjoying a relaxing life,he volunteered to save the soil from desertification(沙漠化)by planting trees in Korla,Xinjiang.
It is no easy job.The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine.Besides,water is a big problem.In fact,Wang Chengbang's work in the first few years failed as very few trees survived(存活).
But Wang Chengbang would not give up."After trying many different ways,I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way," said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work,more and more trees have survived.So far,he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.Those green trees prevent desertification,make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun.Now,Korla is a model city in environmental protection.
Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer(癌症).In 2005,he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However,he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer," he often jokes.
