Soul of Hybrid Millet(2022)

In 1984, agricultural researcher Zhao Ersheng and his team arrive in Hainan, hoping to develop China’s first hybrid millet. Despite limited resources and repeated failures, Zhao persists. He pioneers a two-line hybrid method based on light and temperature sensitivity, overcoming major scientific hurdles. In 2000, after years of dedication, his team successfully breeds “Zhang Hybrid Millet No. 1,” marking a breakthrough in China’s millet breeding history.
