All staff of Huai'an Huaining Steel Structure Co., Ltd. deeply mourn the national hero Yuan Longping. May Mr. Yuan rest in peace and live forever in our hearts!
The best peace in the world is freedom from hunger.
Yuan Longping, the "Father of Hybrid Rice", academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, recipient of the "Medal of the Republic", and senior consultant of Tongfu Group, helped New China feed 21% of the world’s population with only 7% of the world’s land, feeding our 1.4 billion Chinese people!
When the sad news of Mr. Yuan’s passing came, the whole nation mourned, and the rice fields bowed in sorrow.
To let all employees of the company remember the hero who ensured that China and even the whole world "hold their rice bowls firmly", Chen Guobao, Chairman of Huai'an Huaining Steel Structure Co., Ltd., organized all workers to observe a 3-minute silence in memory of Mr. Yuan.
Chairman Chen Guobao said to all workers:
"Although our company produces steel structures, every one of us eats every single day!
Every bowl of rice we eat is inseparable from Mr. Yuan’s hard work and dedication.
If a country and a nation cannot even feed its people, how can we talk about production, let alone development?
Academician Yuan Longping spent his whole life lighting up others and warming the world.
We will miss you forever and always!"
