In fact, his sunburnt face and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of farmers. Dr. Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid（杂交性的）rice. In 1974,he became the first agricultural（农业的）pioneer in the word to grow rice hat has a high output（产量）.This special rice makes it possible to produce one﹣third more of the crop in the same fields. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from the hybrid rice strain（品种，种类）.He was born in Beijing in 1930. Since he graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. He searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding（扩大，增加）the area of the fields.
