Letters from My Mentor Yuan Longping

by Mao Changxiang

This book embodies 20 letters professor Yuan Longping wrote to his student Dr. Mao Changxiang in the 1980s and 1990s.

In the late 20th century, when the communication means were not yet developed enough, professor Yuan wrote a lot of letters to Dr. Mao Changxiang, the researcher of Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center at that time, to discuss about the development of hybrid rice research. These letters were written in Chinese or English, most of which are originals and have not been published before and therefore are very valuable documents in the history of hybrid rice research.

She has to find somewhere else to start from the beginning. After months of careful preparation and safeguard, this time her little plover babies are born safe and sound. After overcoming various difficulties like the insecticide incident and the night cat risk, the plover babies are turning into fully fledged grown-ups. On a sunny day after the rain, a group of little plovers fly against the rainbow, saying goodbye to their mother land, and heads right towards the vast ocean.
