Though you are widely known as the "world father of hybrid rice", you consider yourself a farmer. You like playing the violin. You're good at swimming. You're fond of listening to music. You can speak very good English. You also raise kittens. You are and will always be respected as an outstanding agriculturalist and an amiable person.
"There is no limit to scientific research, and I still have a dream - which is hybrid rice going global and covering the whole world," You said in a video address at the award ceremony for the 2018 Future Science Prize in Beijing. "I hope hybrid rice can benefit people around the world and play a big role in enhancing world food security."
You've devoted your whole life to the research of hybrid rice, helping billions achieve food security. "Three times a day, when we enjoy the fragrance of rice, you will be dearly remembered."
May you rest in peace, Grandpa Yuan!
