Food is the most important thing for the people. In order to pursue food, human beings continue to migrate and settle in other places; in order to pursue food, human beings continue to innovate and explore new lands and trace their origins; in order to pursue food, human beings continue to communicate and integrate with each other. As time goes by and seasons pass by, humankind's pursuit and exploration of food have never stopped. For human beings, food is not only a material need, but also a spiritual need. Food can make people feel the taste of hometown and full of new expectations for the future. Therefore, the pursuit of food and rice farming civilization will not stop in order to better convey temperature.
The pursuit of food outlines the pioneer spirit. The pioneer spirit is the great spirit of having the courage to innovate and dare to be the first. Academician Yuan Longping, winner of the National Medal of Peace, has spent his life pursuing food for the country and the people. He used his great practice to convey to us the spirit of the great pioneer. In April 2020, Yuan Longping's Qingdao sea rice team successfully planted "sea water rice" for the first time on the Golmud alpine and severely saline-alkali land at an altitude of 2,800 meters. From "Nanyou No. 2" to super rice and then to "sea water rice", over the past few decades, What Yuan Longping conveyed to us was his persistence in food security and a breakthrough in unknown fields. The vast rice fields, full of friendship and new varieties, outline the great pioneer spirit. We should follow Mr. Yuan’s example, take over the baton from our ancestors, and pursue food security.
Pursue food and convey the warmth of life. Whether it is rice cakes, rice cakes, or an ordinary bowl of white rice, rice spreads between mountains and seas. With the changes in its presentation, it is no longer a simple food, but a display of regional cultural characteristics. It is a reflection of different hometown customs. Travelers who are far away from home, no matter when and where they are, can evoke the softest warmth in their hearts through the distinctive hometown delicacies, which will affect people's lifelong memories. It can be seen that the rice farming civilization represented by different foods can not only give people a basic feeling of food and clothing, but also retain the taste of hometown, preserve the rare nostalgia, and even play a great role in shaping people's characters. It is obvious that rice farming civilization continuously conveys the warmth of life through food.
The pursuit of food brings new hope for the future. After forty turbulent years, seventy years of hard work and a hundred years of hard work, the Chinese nation has continued to seek new development and gain new hope. Throughout the ages, our pursuit of food has been the same. From the household-based production quota system in 1978 to the current basic farmland policy that has remained unchanged for 30 years, our pursuit of food security and food has never stopped. Whether it is Mr. Yuan who is dedicated to researching super rice for the people, or the people are constantly exploring the delicacies on their tongues, they are full of hope for future development. In the new era and new journey, we still need to firmly build a solid food foundation to bring a better tomorrow to the people.

When pursuing food, we must take every step in a down-to-earth manner, pay attention to key links, inherit rice farming civilization, respect food more and revere food, in order to better obtain both material and spiritual harvests through the pursuit of food, and constantly outline the spirit of innovation. , demonstrates the feelings of a great country, brings new hope, and ensures food security.
