What else do you want to know about him? He is father of hybrid rice, who received the great honor for his great contributions to hybrid rice research and the work he did to improve rice production in developing countries. He is called a pioneer for all people. “As China is helping them develop hybrid rice, African countries will have a bright future,” said Chinese agronomist Yuan Longping, also known as the “father of hybrid rice” for developing the first such strains (系;品种). The world-renowned agricultural scientist, who received “the Medal of the Republic” for his contribution to the country ahead of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, also urged the youth to pursue lofty (崇高的) ideals instead of simply chasing after money. 袁隆平（1930年9月-2021年5月），江西省九江市德安县人，毕业于西南农学院（现西南大学），中国杂交水稻育种专家，“共和国勋章”获得者，中国工程院院士，中国研究与发展杂交水稻的开创者，被誉为“世界杂交水稻之父”。袁隆平先后成功研发出“三系法”杂交水稻、“两系法”杂交水稻、超级杂交稻一期、二期，与此同时，提出并实施“种三产四丰产工程”。2018年被党中央、国务院授予改革先锋称号。 While-reading Read the text.
