CHINESE AGRONOMIST Yuan Longping, famed for developing high-yield rice varieties, joined the short-video app Douyin in January, known outside China as TikTok, attracting more than 16 million followers even before publishing any post.
中国著名农学家袁隆平，因研发超级杂交水稻品种而家喻户晓，在2021年1月份入驻了短视频应用“抖音”，并在不发一文一视频的情况下，瞬间涨粉超过1600万。
The account "Chinese Pioneer Yuan Longping" was set up on January 9. Despite the instant popularity of the account, Yuan, who is known as China's "Father of Hybrid Rice," has yet to be active on the app, and his silence has caused a stir on Douyin.
这个名为“袁隆平中华拓荒人”的抖音账号认证于1月9日。尽管该账号迅速走红，但真正的中国“杂交水稻之父”却并没有活跃在抖音平台之上，他的沉默在网友间激起了一股波澜。
"When will grandpa Yuan Longping post?" became the hottest topic on the app. Users are thrilled to see the 90-year-old scientist joining the platform. "I followed him immediately since I've eaten the rice he's developed," said one user.
“袁隆平爷爷什么时候发动态？”一度成为抖音上面的热门话题。抖音用户似乎很欢迎这名90岁的老科学家入驻。一名用户如是写道：“自从吃了他研发的水稻后，我就开始追随他了。”
"He is the real idol that millions of people should pay attention to," said another. However, the credibility of this account soon came under question as the media reported Yuan didn't know about opening a Douyin account of his own.
另一名用户则表示：“袁隆平才是数百万网友应该关注的真偶像。”不过很快，这个抖音账号的可信度就备受质疑，据媒体报道，袁隆平本人对这个抖音账号一无所知。
Xinhua said on its official Weibo account that Yuan, currently working at the Nanfan Scientific and Research Breeding Base in Sanya, south China's Hainan Province, has no idea about this account, and it was registered by "some company."
据新华社报道，袁隆平目前正在中国海南省三亚市的南繁基地科研攻关，对于这个抖音账号，他毫不知情，并表示该账户实际上是“某家公司”注册入驻的。
Douyin said the Qingdao Sea Rice Research and Development Center, which is led by Yuan Longping, contacted Douyin in August, 2020 about having Yuan join Douyin, Toutiao and Xigua Video, and provided the platform with necessary materials for authentication, including Yuan's ID and a letter of authorization.
抖音对此做出回应，称系由袁隆平担任法定代表人的“青岛海水稻中心”，在2020年8月主动联系抖音平台，就袁隆平院士入驻抖音、今日头条、西瓜视频多次沟通，并提供了袁隆平的授权函和本人身份证信息等认证材料。
Douyin said the follow-up processing of this account will fully respect the opinions of Yuan and his team. Yuan has devoted himself to breeding strains of rice – a staple in the country – with prolific growth.
抖音方面表示，该账号的后续处理将完全尊重院士及其相关工作团队的意见。袁隆平始终致力于培育新型水稻品种，极大增长率这个作为中国人主食的产量。
China has to feed one-fifth of the world's population with just seven percent of the world's arable land and six percent of its water. It's a mammoth task that has benefited from the genius of Yuan, who in the 1970s developed the world's first hybrid rice. Since then, varieties of the super crop have repeatedly broken yield records.
对中国而言，仅用世界7%的耕地和6%的水资源，来养活世界25%的人口，是一项艰巨的任务。受益于袁隆平的天纵奇才，在20世纪70年代便研发出世界第一代杂交水稻，从此各项超级农作物产量屡破纪录。
In 2020, Yuan and his team managed to produce 1,500 kilograms of rice per mu (about 22.5 tonnes per hectare) over two growing seasons in central China's Hunan Province. Local double-cropping rice yields an average of 700-800 kilograms per mu.
2020年，袁隆平和他的团队在中国中部湖南省的两个种植季节里，实现了水稻亩产突破1500公斤（约每公顷22.5吨），而当地双季稻的平均亩产仅为700到800公斤。
The celebrity scientist already has a social media presence. On September 20, 2020, Yuan opened an account on Kuaishou, a major rival to Douyin, to mark the third annual Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival, which falls on September 22. There he shared agricultural knowledge and advanced rice-growing concepts.
其实，这位著名科学家早就已经在社交媒体平台上占有一席之地。就在2020年9月20日，袁隆平已经在抖音的竞争对手“快手”平台上开设账户，以此纪念第三节中国农民丰收节。他本人则在这个账户上分享农业知识和先进的水稻种植理念。
The account of Yuan Longping, China's "Father of Hybrid Rice," on Douyin, or China's equivalent of TikTok, was suspended days after being opened amid controversy over who is operating it.
最终，“杂家水稻之父”袁隆平的抖音账号在开通几天后便被封禁，抖音方面给出的理由是该账户存在争议问题。
