In the trailer of the last episode of the "Yuan Longping's Dream" unit, Yuan Longping was transferred from his post according to the instructions to participate in labor practice, and accidentally met his best friend Tan FatGong in the mine, but why did Tan Fatgong not respond to Yuan Longping's greetings?

What are the difficulties and progress in the research of Yuan Longping and his entourage? Tonight's episode will give viewers an answer, so stay tuned.
Yuan Longping personally experienced the era when the people did not have enough to eat and were hungry, in order to keep everyone away from hunger, he cultivated the earth year after year, and successfully developed the "three-line method" indica hybrid rice, the "two-line method" hybrid rice, seawater rice, super rice... With a small seed, he changed China and the world, making great contributions to solving the problem of food shortage in the world.
However, on the road of hybrid rice exploration, many people are not clear about the hardships that Yuan Longping needs to overcome. In addition to repeated failures and repetitions in scientific research, he also had to fight against illness, and he never left the warm water bottle cap to relieve itching and the canned bayberry to relieve stomach pain. In his old age, he still ploughed the fields, just to "put the rice bowl in his own hands."
Yuan Lao is the terminator of hunger and the creator of miracles. After half a century of rice research, Elder Yuan has sown the seeds of dreams farther away, and those more ambitious dreams will be witnessed by us for him.
Elder Yuan once said that he had two dreams: one was the "dream of cooling under the grass" and the other was "the dream of covering the whole world", he said that he once dreamed that rice grew as tall and thick as sorghum, rice ears were as long as brooms, grains as big as peanuts and rice, and people sat under rice to cool off... On October 17, 2021, the double-cropping yield of hybrid rice developed by Yuan Longping's team was 1603.9 kg, successfully breaking through the target of 1500 kg per mu and creating a new record! It can be said that Yuan Lao's dream is gradually becoming a reality.
