Yuan Longping, Father of Hybrid Rice（杂交水稻）

On May 22, 2021, Yuan Longping passed away in Changsha at the age of 91. 1. 袁隆平把一生花在了稻谷研究上。

In 1973, he developed the first hybrid rice. Since then, he has helped China work a great wonder — 2. feeding one fifth of the world’s people with less than 9% of the world’s land.

Yuan had a much bigger dream — to save the world from hunger. 3. Yuan’s team helped people in many countries around the world to grow rice. He got the World Food Prize in 2004. Now one fifth of rice around the world comes from his study.

Even in his later years, Yuan did not stop studying. In 2017, working with an agricultural（农业的）school, he helped develop indica rice（籼稻）for some special places in the world. For what he did, in 2020, Yuan was given the “Medal of the Republic（共和国勋章）”, the highest honor in China.

4. We believe that if we all try our best, Yuan’s dream will come true and our world will be free of hunger one day. 5. 袁隆平是世界上最伟大的科学家之一。He is so great that we won’t forget him forever. As middle school students, we should always learn from him and try our best to make our greatest contributions（贡献）to our country.

21、Qian Xuesen was born in Shanghai on December 11th, 1911. He is known as “the father of China’s space program” and “the king of the rocket”.

When he was 24 years old, Qian went to America for further study. After graduation, he worked in America for a few years where his working conditions(条件) were better. In the early 1950s, he heard New China had been founded and decided not to stay in America any longer. He succeeded in coming back to his motherland in 1955 though the American government tried to stop him.

Qian also played an important role(作用) in developing China’s first man-made satellite. In 1956, Qian Xuesen suggested setting up a special organization, which later became the leading organization for China’s rocket and air travel program. In June 1964, China successfully created its first medium rocket. On April 24, 1970, “Dongfanghong-1” was successfully sent into the air.

In 1964, a young man wrote Qian Xuesen a letter and pointed out a mistake in his published article. Qian immediately answered the letter and encouraged the young man to write an article out the mistake.

Zhu Yilin, who was said to be the last student of Qian Xuesen, once said, “I learned a lot of professional knowledge as the spirit and attitude that a scientist should have from Mr. Qian, especially his deep love for the motherland. Without that he couldn’t have helped to develop science and technology when New China was badly in need of scientists for its development. Without that he would not have made the great contribution(贡献) to industry in the late 1950s and the early 1960s when conditions in China were too hard.”
