Although he is one of China's 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 groe rice that has a high output.This special strain of rice makes is 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 unto a poor farmer's 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 searchedfor 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 world's 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 countrues to increase their rice harvests.Thanks to his research,the UNhas 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 doesn't care about being famous.He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research.He would much rather keep time for hi shobbies.He enjoys listening to violin music,playing mah-jong,swimming and reading.Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also means very little to him.Indeed,he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than rewer troubles.He therefore gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture.
just dreaming for things,however,costs nothing.Long ago Dr Yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum.Each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut.Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice that could feed more people.Now,many years late,Dr Yuan has another dream:to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe.One dream is not always enough,espcially for a person who loves and cares for his people.
尽管袁隆平是中国最有名的科学家之一,可他却一直把自己当成一个农民,他在田地之间进行他的研究.事实上,他那被太阳灼烤的脸和臂膀,他那瘦弱但却强壮的身躯正是中国千千万万农民的写照,那些他50年里为之奋斗的群体.袁隆平院士种植出一种超级杂交稻.在1974年,他成为第一位能种出高产水稻的农业先锋.这种特殊的稻种使得土地单位原产量增加1/3的梦想成为现实.现在在中国,已经有超过60%的土地上种植着这种杂交水稻.
1930年,袁隆平出生于一个贫苦家庭.1953年,袁院士从西南农业大学毕业.从那时起,找到一个能产更多粮食的方法便成了他的毕生追求.作为青年人,他深知粮食产量提高的重要意义.在那时,饥荒在许多农村都是严峻的问题.袁院士在寻找一条能在不增加土地播种面积的基础上提高粮食产量的办法.1950年时,中国农民只能产出5000万吨粮食.然而近几年,每年能够有两亿吨粮食能够被生产.这一增加意味着只占世界7%的耕地的国家养活了占世界22%的人口.袁院士现在在印度、越南和一些欠发达国家传播他的杂交水稻知识.由于他的研究,联合国能够为解决战争中的饥荒提供更多援助.利用他的杂交水稻.农民现在能生产比以前多两倍的粮食.
袁院士对他的生活相当满意,然而,他并不关心是否出名.他觉得那样限制了他进行研究的自由.他更宁愿花时间在他的业余爱好上,他很喜欢听小提琴曲,打麻将,游泳以及阅读.把钱花在自己身上或者引导一个更舒适的生活对他来说意义不大.事实上,他坚信一个拥有太多钱的人将会比没那么多钱的人有更多的烦恼.并且,他捐献出数百万元用于他们其他的农业研究的设备.
仅仅是梦中的事,那样什么也不会消耗.很久以前,袁院士拥有一个水稻长得像高粱一样高的梦想.每秼水稻的穗都能像玉米的穗那么大,每个水稻颗粒都能像花生一样大.袁院士没有沉溺在梦中,他醒来,带着能创造一种能供养更多人的水稻种类的希望.现在,据那时多年以后,袁院士又有一个梦想:扩大他的水稻产地以至世界各地.仅仅是梦还不够,尤其对于一个热爱人民的人来说,那更不够.
