Remembering the First Anniversary of Yuan Lao's Death
I had a dream,
I dreamed that my rice was taller than sorghum,
Spikes are longer than brooms.
When the sun shines,
My colleagues and I are sitting under that rice ear to cool off
At 13:07 on May 22, 2021, Yuan Longping, the father of Hybrid rice, winner of the "Republic Medal", academician of the CAE Member, and director of the National Hybrid rice Engineering Technology Research Center, died in Changsha, Hunan at the age of 91.
In a twinkling of an eye, Academician Yuan Longping has left us for one year. In the final moments of his life, Yuan Lao was still striving for his dream. Now, his "dream of enjoying the cool under the grass" is also becoming a reality. He once expressed in his speech that young people should have high aspirations and strive for their dreams. When the wind blows through the rice fields, I think of you. I miss Yuan Lao and always remember his promise: to hold the rice bowl firmly in my hand!
