His name was Yuan Longping. 2 Yuan was born in Beijing in 1930. When he was young, he felt sad to discover that many Chinese people suffered from hunger. After he left college in 1953, he spent nearly 70 years working hard to solve this problem. 3 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. He said, “I never stopped, like a bird going after the warmth of the sun.” Finally, he succeeded in developing new types of rice plants. One produced about 20% more rice than normal plants. Another could grow in poor soil. 4 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.

To introduce Yuan Longping, show his deep bond with rice fields, and present his dedicated research image. Yuan chased the hope of ending hunger just like a bird chases warm sun. He compared himself to a bird because feeding people was his lifelong essential pursuit, just as the sun is vital to a bird It means Yuan's dreams are inherited by later generations, who continue his hybrid rice research cause. Activity 4 Think and share 2.Why do you think Yuan Longping is a hero? 3.What can you learn from Yuan Longping? Learning to think for question 3 To analyse what you can learn from a person, you can consider how this person’s qualities can encourage, teach, or guide you. It reflects Yuan's lifelong pursuit of feeding people. Because he developed hybrid rice that solved hunger for millions, persisted through countless failures, and devoted himself to global food security. We can learn persistence (never give up despite setbacks), altruism (care for public well-being),practicality (root in field practices), and innovation (dare to break traditional limits).
