Salt in the soil has always made it impossible to grow crops.But that's now changing.
Famous agriculturalist （农学家）Yuan Longping said they would grow a special rice.They would turn 100 million mu of saline﹣alkali （盐碱的）land into farmland in the country over the next 10 years.
In 2017，Yuan's team successfully grew rice on the saline﹣alkali land in Jiangsu Province.It is called sea rice.Now they have made great progress.Both China and many other countries around the world have large saline﹣alkali land.If all of it can be used to grow rice and grain，it is very important for food security（安全）.And it will help the UN zero﹣hunger goal come true.
Yuan Longping was named as"Father of Hybrid Rice".He helped China make a great wonder—feeding nearly 20% of the world's population with less than 9% of the world's farmland.Then Yuan had a much bigger dream—to save the world from hunger.The world is seeing China's sea rice as a way to fight food insecurity.
"I had a dream.Rice was as high as sorghum （高粱）；ears （穗）were as long as brooms；grains were as big as peanuts （花生）.I could actually enjoy the cool under the rice crops." Yuan said of his childhood dream.And he was one step closer to his dream.
"I'm confident in the future of my country，and I want to do more for my motherland." said Yuan.

This morning I got an email from Roy． It seems that my boy really enjoys his new life at Harvard University．
The email made me think of the first day when we moved into this house．
Little Roy ran around the new house with great excitement and tried to move his own things into the house such as his toys， books and clothes． Suddenly his little hand knocked over a bottle of paint on the shelf． The paint made the tidy floor and white wall a terrible mess． "Oh，my God!" My wife rushed in angrily． I looked at my son， and his small face was filled with fear．
I smiled and held his hand， "Take it easy，Roy．Now let's do something to make it look nice．" I took out a brush．" You see， Dad is a magician． I can change it into a big tree．"

Best wishes，

Hum read the letter again．Everything with Megan came back to him．He had never forgotten her．He couldn't．Every day he looked at her face on the wall．He had a drawing of her．It had traveled everywhere with him．But to hear from her again …
"Are you all right，Dad？"asked Mike，coming into the room．
