C
China has succeeded in developing the “giant(巨型的)rice”. It is twice as tall as common rice which is usually about one metre tall. People called it a “dream coming true” moment for Yuan Longping,who was the top scientist in the world and is regarded as the “Father of Hybrid Rice”.
This special kind of rice was first grown in Chongqing’s Changhong village in 2021 and harvested later. Each mu of the fields produced about 750kg to 900kg.
This kind of rice is not only strong and tall,but also resistant(有抵抗力)to flood(洪水). It can also bring many nutrients(营养)to the plants nearby and provide a good living environment for animals in water. When the water in the rice fields is 60 centimetres to 80 centimetres deep,it can even be used to raise fishes. From next year,the “giant rice” will be planted in thousands of mu of fields in Chongqing.
Yuan Longping once said that he hoped to enjoy the cool under the rice taller than men one day. He developed the first high-producing hybrid rice. But sadly,he died at 91 in Changsha in May 2021. Many people posted(发帖)online to pay tribute(致敬)to Yuan after reading the news,saying “Your dream has come true,can you see it?”
