A Speech About Yuan Longping
Hello,everybody.(Today i am going to talk about the greatest scientist in the 20th century.)But before i start,i want to ask you all first——Who do you think is the greatest scientist in the 20th century? Maybe you will immediately think about Albert Einstein, the one who suggested the theory of relativity.Or Thomas Edison, The king of invention who had over 2000 creations in his life.Or Steve Jobs, the guy who invented the iphone,ipod,ipad that we all enjoy using.Did i get it right? But have you all thought about anyone who is from China? I say, in my eyes, the father of hybrid rice----Yuan Longping is the greatest scientist in the 20th century.Maybe now you are thinking like this in your heart : what?A farmer?The greatest?Yes, a farmer, but an extremely extraordinary farmer.He is the greatest scientist in the 20th century because he puts an end to hunger, and he has shinning personality charm.It was him who solved the particularly huge problem of world hunger.He saved millions of people’s life!He started to work on the hybrid rice since 1964.And overcoming thousands of hardship, he finally worked out the first succeful hybrid rice variety----Nanyou 2,and this is surely very significant not just to the Chinese, but also to people all over the world.The per unit output increased from 140 kilos from 450 kilos.And all these fantastic numbers mean that millions of people in China, including you and me, can have enough food to eat.In the past, as we all know, many people suffered from hunger and even died of the lack of food.When i was preparing for the speech, i interviewed several senior citizens in my community about the problem of hunger in the past.And they told me that it was about in the 1980s that their suffering from hunger finally came to an end.And i think it owed much to Yuan Longping.So, next time when you are very hungry but you soon get enough rice to fill up your stomach, why not thank Yuan Longping in your heart first before you start to eat crazily?
Now, i suppose that you all have agreed that Yuan Longping is a great scientist,but are still confused about why he is the greatest.Now let’s think about the following: can you use the theory of relativity that Albert Einstein suggested to explore the world if you are extremely hungry? Can you work energetically with the inventions that Thomas Edison created if you don’t have enough rice to fill up your stomach? Can you enjoy using your i-phone, i-pad or i-pod touch that Steve Jobs developed to watch TV series like Sherlock Holmes if you are so starved that you are dying.No, of course.All the great inventions are nothing in face of hunger.It is true that Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Steve Jobs and many other scientists are great scientists, but only Yuan Longping is the greatest.How can you live without food? Food is like the most basic foundation of everyone’s life.As you can see , the population of the world is still increasing rapidly, but fewer people are facing the problem of hunger.And an eential factor is that hybrid rice is increasingly showing strong vitality.As a famous American agricultural economist Zuckerberg said, ”with the development of agricultural science, the threat of starvation is in retreat, Yuan Longping is leading us towards a well-fed world.”
In addition to his contributions on the hunger problem, he is also admired for his personality charm.He is indifferent to fame and wealth though he is very wealthy now.He is the greatest scientist in the 20th century.This can also be proved by the fact that he was nominated for the Nobel peace prize and there was a star named after him.In short, the father of the hybrid rice, Yuan Longping, puts an end to the problem of world hunger, save millions of people’s lives and he is a man indifferent to fame and wealth.Of all the scientists in the 20th century, he is the greatest!
