Possible version:
Yuan Longping is known as China’s “father of hybrid rice”. It’s
said that in China, we eat depending on “Two Ping” ---- Deng
Xiaoping, who made the policy of System of Production
Responsibility, & Yuan Longping, who invented hybrid rice.
Yuan Longping, who was born in September, 1930, graduated
from Agriculture Department in Southwest Agricultural
Institute. He has been working on agriculture education & the
research into hybrid rice since he left the institute.
In the 1960s, when China was suffering serious famine, he came
up with the idea of hybrid rice, which has a high yield. Ten years
later, he succeeded in inventing a new species that produced a 20
percent higher yield than common types of rice.
Yuan devoted himself to the research into agriculture, & was
honored by UNESCO & FAO. Although he is 70 years old, he is
still working on the research into agriculture.
