Yuan believed deeply that"food is the most important thing in the world”. He dreamt of developing rice plants that produce more. However, it was easier said than done. Over 3,000 experiments failed. "Failure is very common in scientific research," he once said. “Every time I fall down, I'll get up and try again.” He travelled around China to realise his dream.

Another could grow in poor soil. But Yuan didn’t stop there. He had an even greater dream: a rice plant that would feed the whole world. Later, age made it more difficult for him to work.
