Much has been written about Norman Borlaug the agricultural scientist and humanitarian whose achievements are recognized with many accolades; to add to those writings is a difficult task. This brief paper is an attempt to provide a personal perspective on Norman Borlaug that can come only from someone who has worked closely with him throughout his professional life. I have endeavored to recollect my early impressions of working with Borlaug as a wheat breeder in Mexico and to highlight his innovative approach to wheat breeding, as well as his views on global population and food security, fertilizers, organic agriculture, biotechnology, and conventional academia. His work ethic was instrumental in his vision for the international agricultural system as an instrument of change in the world. His spirit serves as a reminder to future agricultural scientists that the battle must be vigorously engaged and can be won.
关于诺曼·博洛格这位农业科学家和人道主义者，已经有很多文字描述了他的成就，他获得了许多赞誉；再写关于他的文字是一项艰巨的任务。本文试图从一个在他整个职业生涯中与之密切合作的人的角度来提供对诺曼·博洛格的个人看法。我努力回忆起我作为墨西哥小麦育种家与博洛格一起工作的早期印象，并强调他在小麦育种方面的创新方法，以及他对全球人口和粮食安全、肥料、有机农业、生物技术和传统学术界的看法。他的职业道德是他对国际农业体系作为世界变革工具的愿景的重要组成部分。他的精神提醒未来的农业科学家，这场战斗必须激烈进行，并能够取得胜利。
