Kong Lingrang, a member of the Communist Party of China (CPC), is the dean of the College of Agronomy at Shandong Agricultural University.
After studying and working in different foreign countries, he returned to China to research Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat. With a 20-year scientific dream and after frequent field research in windy and rainy conditions, he finally developed a wheat species with the FHB resistance gene, which was approved in Shandong Province last year. After joining the CPC in January 1985, Kong dedicated himself to national food security and safeguarding the "Chinese rice bowl".
