At 10 o'clock in the morning on May 24, the farewell ceremony for the remains of the "Father of Hybrid Rice" and "Republic Medal" Academician Yuan Longping was held in the Mingde Hall of Mingyangshan Funeral Home in Changsha City.

Wreaths sent from all walks of life are filled with flowers on both sides of the road leading to the memorial hall, and from time to time, takeaway boys give flowers to the people who cannot be there.
