Features: He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a world-class agricultural scientist native to China. The hybrid rice he bred is known as the "Magic Rice of the East," which has ensured that China can feed 22% of the world's population with only 7% of the world's land. The annual increase in rice production is equivalent to solving the food problem for 60 million people each year. He has two great wishes: one is to promote hybrid rice to the world, and the other is to successfully develop super hybrid rice to benefit all of humanity.
