Father of hybrid rice

杂交水稻之父

袁隆平是我国研究与发展杂交水稻的开创者，也是世界上第一个成功利用水稻杂种优势的科学家，被誉为“杂交水稻之父”。

Yuan Longping, born in September 1930, helped China work a great wonder — feeding nearly one-fifth of the world's population with less than 9 percent of the world's total land.
袁隆平生于1930年9月，他帮助中国创造了一个伟大的奇迹——用占不到世界土地总面积9％的土地，养活了世界近五分之一的人口。

He cultivated the world's first high-yielding hybrid rice strain in 1973, which was later grown on a large scale in China and other countries to substantially raise output.
他在1973年培育出世界上第一个高产杂交水稻，之后全国乃至世界其他国家大面积推广应用，使水稻的单产和总产得以大幅度提高。

Yuan once said he had two dreams -- to 'enjoy the cool under the rice crops taller than men' and that hybrid rice could be grown all over the world to help solve the global food scarcity.

袁隆平曾说，他有两个梦想——“在比人高的稻谷下乘凉”、在世界各地种植杂交水稻，帮助解决全球粮食短缺问题。

“禾下乘凉梦”和“杂交水稻覆盖全球梦”

前者是他真实的梦境，他曾梦见试验田里的超级杂交水稻

长得比高粱还高，

穗子有扫帚那么长，

谷粒有花生米那么大，

他和助手坐在稻穗下乘凉。

袁隆平曾在电影中出演自己,用英语阐述两大梦想，说起梦境幸福微笑！

袁隆平给人印象最深的是他不断实现梦想的能力。很久以前，他设想水稻高至高粱，稻穗大如扫帚，而每粒稻谷大如花生。他成功地种植出一种可以养活国内外更多人口的水稻。他对“海水稻”的最新设想也已成为现实，并可能在中国开辟近100万平方公里的盐碱地，用于水稻生产。尽管年事已高，袁隆平的内心仍然年轻，富有远见，每个人都在等着看他下一步的梦想。

2019年10月12日，在湖南长沙国家杂交水稻工程技术中心，袁隆平接受了多家媒体采访，并在采访中用英语谈非洲国家农业发展问题。
