Yuan Longping
“Father of Hybrid Rice”
In the late 1990s, Brown, an American scholar, came up with the theory of Chinese Menace(威胁), which said that in the 2030s, Chinese population will add up to 1.6 billion, and had the question who would feed the large population in China as well as in the world.
Just at that time, a Chinese scientist declared to the world that China can solve the problem by himself and help to solve the same problem in the world.
Brown, (1990s)
China won’t feed themselves because of its large population!
We can solve the problem and we can help world to solve the problem!
