Since 1990 Chinese grain production has been roughly stable but the use of fertiliser-which is heavily subsidised - has risen by about 40%.

而事实上呢，45年以后的中国成了世界上最大的产量国，并且基本上解决了国内的粮食问题。

The fact is that 45 years later China has become a top grain producer in the world and basically solved the problem of feeding its own people.

小时候(上世纪80年代至90年代)，我清楚的记得，当时基本上每个家庭的粮食都不能吃到年底，甚至是大城市的人们。

When I was a childhood (80s' -90s' of last century), I clearly remembered, almost all families have not enough food to support the life for the whole year, even those people in big cities.
