Yuan Longping, or H. L. Yuan, is a Chinese agricultural scientist and educator, known for his research in hybrid rice. He is the founder of hybrid rice cultivation and is often called the \"Father of Hybrid Rice\".

Yuan was born on September 7, 1930, in a small village in Hunan Province, China. He attended Hunan Agricultural College, and then served in the military for two years. He returned to school until 1953 to study agricultural science. He then began his career teaching agricultural science at Hunan Agricultural University.

In 1964, Yuan launched his research in hybrid rice strains, which led to increased food production throughout China. He developed two varieties called \"Yuanlongping 1\" and \"Yuanlongping 2\" that could produce higher yields than traditional rice at the same time. In 1976, Yuan's hybrid rice was tested and proved to be effective in 11 provinces, and it was widely used by farmers in China since 1977. Thus, Yemen Longping is known as the \"Father of Hybrid Rice.\"

In 2000, Yuan was elected to the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and he was awarded the \"China's Greatest Scientist\" by the Chinese government in 2002. In 2005, Yuan was awarded the Magsaysay Prize, also known as the \"Nobel Prize of Asia\". In 2006, he was honored as the \"Artist of the Year of Chinese Science and Technology\" by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Yuan Longping has achieved great success in hybrid rice research, leading to a dramatic increase in rice yields throughout China and the world. He is an outstanding agricultural scientist and educator and is a role model for generations of Chinese scientists.
