The top Chinese scientist Yuan Longping, famous for his "Super Rice", died of illness at the age of 91 May 22nd, 2021.
Yuan Longping (be) born in Beijing in 1930. For almost 60 years, he had given most of his time and energy to rice research. So far, the hybrid rice (杂交水稻) he developed (pull) millions of people out of hunger allover the world. His achievements were so great he was called "The Father of Hybrid Rice" and won World Food Prize.
During his lifetime, Yuan Longping spent (much) time in the farm field than in his office. He was often seen watching plants (close) and thinking of ways to improve them, just as many Chinese (farmer)do.
Yuan once said he had dream—to "enjoy the cool under the rice plants taller than men". a pity it is that he can't continue his dream now! But surely, people believe, his dream (come) true in the near future.
