On September 24, the first batch of giant rice trial-planted in Changhong Village, Shiwan Town, Dazu District, Chongqing City, began harvesting. On the same day, 1.43 mu of rice fields were harvested, yielding 815 kg of wet millet, and the variety was "Jufeng No. 5".
"The father of hybrid rice" Yuan Longping spared no effort in cultivating giant rice in his later years. He once had a "dream under the grass". He dreamed that rice grew taller than sorghum, rice ears were longer than broomsticks, and rice grains were bigger than peanuts. Great, he and his colleagues are sitting in the shade under the giant rice.
Now, on the land of Changhong Village, the "dream of enjoying the coolness under Hexia" has become a reality.
