“禾下乘凉梦”成真

Enjoy The Cool Shade Beneath Rice Plants

中国著名农业科学家、"杂交水稻之父"袁隆平,于1964年开始研究杂交水稻。他为中国创造了一个奇迹——用不到世界总耕地面积9%的土地养活了世界近1/5的人口。袁隆平在91岁高龄时去世,但他身上的科学精神得以延续。他曾说过,自己有两个梦想:一个梦想是人们能在高大的稻下乘凉,另一个则是让杂交水稻覆盖全球。

Chinese renowned agricultural scientist Yuan Longping began studying hybrid rice(杂交水稻)in 1964.He was known as the father of hybrid rice.He helped China work a wonder(奇迹),feeding nearly one-fifth of the world’s population with less than nine percent of the world’s total arable land(耕地).
