Why didn't Yuan Longping win the Nobel Prize?

Apart from political and cultural factors, the Nobel Prize is generally biased towards academic achievements, such as its influence on the direction and means of scientific development. Although Lao Yuan's rice breeding has made great contributions in later generations, it is not like this. Cross breeding is a time-consuming and laborious work in biology, which belongs to the common technical difficulty. Usually, a good variety takes more than ten years or even decades to finalize the design. Even if it is applied to plant gene technology, it is a relatively mature technology.

It is said that as soon as Yuan Lao's achievements were published, he immediately released the technical points to the whole world and was immediately enjoyed by foreigners. There is no time to apply for any intellectual property patent, let alone compete for any Nobel Prize.

According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize should be awarded to "those who have done their best or made the greatest contribution to promoting national unity and friendship, abolishing or reducing the standing army, and organizing and publicizing the peace conference". However, the award can also be awarded to institutions and organizations that meet the conditions for winning.

Because of the nature of the Peace Prize, the winners are often not necessarily recognized by everyone. Compared with other Nobel Prizes, it is more controversial, and its selection conditions are often limited by the position of the Peace Prize Committee.

The factors of peace are not unilateral, not only material, but also auxiliary. There are many related factors, but mainly their contribution and significance to peace. Some people are full, but they will start a war, but mainly in spirit, the Nobel Peace Prize.

Sometimes a single award can't measure the value of a thing. Awards are just people's expression of the value of a thing.
