The Chosen One, which completed the space voyage with Chang’ e 5, has ripened and been harvested in Guangzhou recently.

7月，與嫦娥五號(hào)一起“上天”的“天選水稻”在廣州成熟，迎來(lái)收割。

On December 17, 2020, the Chang’ e 5 spacecraft carried the rice seeds to the moon and back for a 23-day journey of more than one million kilometers.

2020年12月17日，這批水稻種子“乘坐”嫦娥五號(hào)完成歷時(shí)23天、行程超百萬(wàn)公里的地月往返征程。

After experiencing cosmic rays in the deep space environment, they returned to Earth and were planted in Guangdong Province.

在深空環(huán)境中經(jīng)歷宇宙射線的照射后，成功返回地球，“落戶”廣東大地。

After nearly eight months, the rice was ready to be harvested and 2,000 plants were harvested and shipped back to the laboratory for research.

經(jīng)過(guò)近八個(gè)月的辛勞與期盼，這批水稻成熟了，2000株水稻收割后被運(yùn)回實(shí)驗(yàn)室開展研究。

In the future, they will continue to reproduce on Guangdong soil and are expected to become a 100 percent original Chinese rice variety.

未來(lái)，它們會(huì)在廣東的土地上純化優(yōu)良性狀，有望成為100%中國(guó)原創(chuàng)的水稻新品種。
