As the car with Yuan's body was moving down the street, people on both sides of the road cried and shouted his name to the car.
Many old people still remember clearly that they didn't have enough food to eat in the early 1960s. Yuan made up his mind to keep all the Chinese people away from hunger (饥饿).

This great achievement helped solve the problem of feeding all the Chinese people. ⒊However, he and his team continued the research and improved the hybrid rice. He once said he had two dreams— "to enjoy the cool under the rice crops(庄稼) taller than me" and "that the hybrid rice could be grown all over the world." Now, the hybrid rice has been brought to more than 100 countries such as the United States, Japan, Brazil and so on.
