The news of Yuan Lao's death spread and the whole country mourned. The 9 1 year-old man spent his whole life trying to feed people all over the world.

A friend said that Yuan Lao passed away. The younger generation finally felt the feeling of being sent to the prime minister's office from the long street of their parents at that time.

When I was a child, I went to school from textbooks, grew up on TV, and worked online. Yuan Lao will always be the optimistic and confident grandfather. He spoke with an amazing smile, but today's smile has disappeared forever.

With a sad heart, Tomato King turned out the last documentary film "Singing for the Times" produced by CCTV for Yuan Lao in memory of his beloved grandfather Yuan Longping.

In 20 15, Yuan Longping, then 85 years old, accepted a joint interview with China CCTV and Norwegian TV.

Yuan Longping's shirt had no pockets, and the reporter searched for a long time before finding a place to put the microphone.

When the reporter blurted out "This dress has no pockets", the humorous version of Yuan Longping immediately went online.

Yuan Longping, 85, trudged on the experimental field and his eyes lit up when he was asked questions.

Yuan Lao proudly answered in English. Because the output is very high, super high.

Yuan Longping saw his confidence in super hybrid rice. I planted hybrid rice. Speaking of hybrid rice, Yuan Longping is as excited as a child.

Standing on the edge of the field, pointing to rice to show off to foreign reporters that this is a "nuclear weapon."

Yuan always has confident capital. In June 2020, the highest yield of two-season hybrid rice reached 1000 meters.

Yuan Lao, who learned this data, said: "3000 Jin, which means cool dreams near the river." .

What is the production concept of 3000 Jin per mu? Understand that in the early days of New China, the highest yield per mu of rice was below 200 kg.

In the future, the rice we mate may have a higher yield per mu, but Yuan Lao can't see it.

On September 7th, 1930, Yuan Xinglie's family welcomed their second child in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Yuan Xinglie and his wife only wrote "Yuan Zi" in the name column of the child's birth certificate.

Yuan Longping was born in an intellectual family, and his mother was an English teacher in primary school. She provided Yuan Longping with English enlightenment since she was a child.

Father Yuan Xinglie graduated from the Literature Department of Central South University. I work as a secretary in the railway department.

Parents all hope that Yuan Longping will continue to follow the official road and honor his ancestors.

1936, Yuan Longping, who was under 6 years old, was sent to Hankou highest primary school for education.

However, this decision is contrary to their expectations.

The first-year students went for an outing. Yuan Longping saw a bumper harvest of peaches and grapes in the garden. So I like agriculture.

The prosperity period is not long. 1937 War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression outbreak. The already wealthy family began to take refuge in his father. Seven-year-old Yuan Longping and his father traveled all over the country. He studied in primary schools in Hankou, Hunan and Chongqing.

The fall of land, war, hunger and poverty made Yuan Longping understand a truth in his childhood: he didn't want to be bullied by others, but he wanted to be strong on his own.

1949 When People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded, 19-year-old Yuan Longping was also faced with the first major choice in his life.

Despite parents' opposition, Yuan Longping persisted in her childhood dream and applied for the Department of Agronomy of Xiaba Xianghui College in Beibei, Chongqing.

After graduation, Yuan Longping obeyed the unified distribution of the state and taught at Anjiang Agricultural School in Huaihua City, Hunan Province. In the same year, he was assigned to teach at Anjiang Agricultural School at the foot of Xuefeng Mountain in western Hunan.

This agricultural school is located in the depths of Xuefeng Mountain in Hunan Province. So far, there is no railway.

It took Yuan Longping four days to get to his place of work.

Also in this year, the land reform policy was implemented throughout the country, and land to the tiller. However, at that time, the total national grain output was only 6.5438+0.6683 million tons, and the per capita daily ration was only 654.38+0.5 kg.

But at that time, Yuan Longping's personal destiny was not intertwined with the national destiny.

He taught Russian first, and then he was arranged to learn sweet potatoes. The school didn't pay attention to sweet potatoes.

Although his dream gradually disappeared, Yuan's love came at this time. He fell in love with a female teacher in the opposite school.

After three years of love, Mr. Yuan devoted all his feelings to his lover and wrote two love letters every week.

This makes Yuan Longping's lonely life in remote mountainous areas colorful.

But on the eve of 1960 wedding, Yuan Longping fell in love. Mr. Wang married someone else, because Yuan Longping was free and his family was poor, and he didn't want to make progress.

This is a great blow to Yuan Longping, because he is an obsessed boy.

After getting married, Mr. Wang regretted it and said he wanted a divorce. Yuan Longping waited for her for three years, and then she gave birth to a child. Yuan Longping could no longer see the hope of being together and decided to let go.

When Yuan Lao experienced the pain of love, China also experienced the pain since modern times.

Three years of natural disasters have led to food shortage and famine throughout the country. This reminds Yuan Longping of his childhood dream after the war.

After coming out of the lovelorn love affair, Yuan Longping felt that if he wanted to eat enough, he should pay attention to the most important food crops, so he devoted all his enthusiasm to rice research.

1961one day in July, Yuan Longping observed rice fields as usual. He found a special kind of rice and stood out from the crowd.

Yuan Longping was overjoyed, and planted 1000 rice plants in the second year of rice planting, hoping to get Jackie Chan. The result was disappointing. In the words of Lao Yuan, no plant can be as excellent as its Lao Zi.

Yuan Longping was disappointed, but this variety showed him the heterosis of rice. The idea of artificially cultivating hybrid rice has now taken shape in Yuan Longping's mind.

Because rice is hermaphrodite and self-pollinated, genetics believes that there is no heterosis. At that time, the advanced United States and Japan studied hybrid rice, but both failed.

/p & gt；

In the eyes of others, the concept of hybrid rice put forward by a middle school teacher is tantamount to betrayal and subversion of classical academic theory, and even regarded as ignorance of basic genetics.

This puzzled Yuan Longping, but in 1964, one thing changed his mind.

This year, under the introduction of colleagues, Yuan Longping and his wife Deng Zhe got married without a love foundation.

After marriage, my wife clearly supported Yuan Longping's research on hybrid rice, and said that if we don't grow up, we will go home and become farmers.

This year, Yuan Longping officially started the research on hybrid rice.

To popularize hybrid rice, it is necessary to cultivate many seeds, but it is difficult to make hybrid rice successful.

Yuan Longping conceived three steps for studying his own hybrid rice.

First of all, I found rice with abnormal genes. The pistils of these rice are abnormal, but the stamens have no pollen.

Second, find another kind of rice that can provide pollen-free rice for stamen pollination.

Third, only by finding other rice and combinations of these rice can the seeds of hybrid rice be produced. The pistils of these rice can be recovered normally, and the excellent characters of rice can be maintained.

This is simple in theory, but difficult to operate. 1967, Yuan Longping took the first step.

This year, Yuan Longping Stock Company manually checked 6,543,800+04,000 spikes per share. Only the males of six kinds of rice have no pollen.

After taking an important step, Yuan Longping published a paper in Journal of China Academy of Sciences. This means that Yuan Lao closely combined his destiny with that of the motherland.

After that, the experiment of "1: 1.2" was bigger and bigger, and a research group was set up.

In the spring of 1968, the number of these six male sterile plants increased to more than 700.

In spring, 700 rice plants were transplanted to the field in Yuan Longping, and the field experiment was officially started.

After a rainy night, all the rice in the field was pulled out.

Maybe someone will be jealous. Someone may have malicious intentions. The rice destruction in this experimental field is professional.

Destroyers uproot rice and destroy it, which is equivalent to destroying hope for many years.

This brought a great blow to Yuan Lao, and the experiment was postponed for three years.

Malice shook Yuan Longping's faith. He wrote: "It is useless to be a real hero who can surrender to the devil without being jealous." . Four days after the incident, Yuan Longping found five remaining rice plants in the ruins next to the experimental field, which enabled the experiment to continue.

After that, Yuan Longping conducted more than 3000 mating experiments with nearly 1000 rice combinations, and the results were not satisfactory.

With the failure of the experiment, the accusation against Yuan Lao became more and more fierce. Some people criticized him for defrauding the national scientific research funds, and some people said that he was an out-and-out science and technology liar.

It didn't beat Yuan Longping. He wants to expand the affinity of rice. I may be able to solve this problem. So, I went to Yuanjiang County, Yunnan Province to look for new varieties.

Because of the earthquake, Yuan Longping and the working group had to set up a shed outside for three months in vain. They cultivated a large number of wild rice resources in Yunnan. This makes Yuan Lao very happy.

However, it is difficult for these wild rice to maintain their characters, and Yuan Longping has to face the situation of failure again.

However, Yuan Longping is determined not to waver in his judgment. In order to widen the gap between different categories, Yuan Longping turned to Hainan Island to look for wild rice.

Yuan Lao's two assistants are looking for it. I discovered the male sterile plant "Bai Ye" and kept it for two years. This trait can eventually be inherited 100%.

From 65438 to 0972, the country took hybrid rice as a national key research project and began a large-scale research. Thousands of experiments have accelerated the production process of mixed rice.

The yield of new straw increased by 70%. On the contrary, rice production fell by 3%.

Hybrid rice is bragging again.

In the past six years, it has occupied a lot of manpower and material resources of the country, which puzzled Yuan Longping, but he still has confidence.

As for whether the advantage lies in straw or rice, technical adjustment can be made.

Kung fu is not popular. Two years later, in the autumn of 1974, good news spread frequently from Hunan to Guangxi. The yield per mu of ordinary rice is only 200 Jin, but the yield per mu of hybrid rice in Yuan Longping almost exceeds 500 Jin, and the yield per mu of an experimental field exceeds 650 Jin.

From the success of hybrid rice experiment to now, the national rice yield has increased by more than four times.

The increase in hybrid rice production will enable China to feed an additional 70 million people every year.

At the same time, with the popularization of the country, Yuan Lao's Fengming Festival has also realized the commercial production of mating rice in India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Bangladesh, the United States and other places.

1981On June 6th, Yuan Lao won the first special invention award in China.

The 1st National Highest Science and Technology Award, the World Intellectual Property Organization Outstanding Inventor Gold Award, the 14th World Outstanding Chinese Award, Mahathir Science Award, the highest medal of French agricultural achievement, the China Famous Scientist Award, the Lifelong Achievement Award of Chinese People in the World in 2007, the Special Honor Award for Economic Decade, the World Food Award, the King of Golden Sickle Award in Thailand, and the Ulf Award.

2065438+On September 29th, 2009, Yuan Longping was awarded the People's Republic of China (PRC) Medal.

Among the older generation of scientists, Yuan Longping is always the gentlest and most beloved one.

His charm is no less than anyone else's, and his speech can attract thousands of students.

He has a good sense of humor and said many interesting things. There are not only many works with rich expressions, but also animated short films, which are very popular.

Died today. Many people spontaneously came to the driveway of Yuan Lao's coffin to see me off.

Many people cried in tears: "Teacher Yuan, don't go." .

The car was surrounded by water, and it was a long time before the hearse came out of the crowd.

The last conversation about Yuan Lao by people who know online is in progress.

What about the rice in the experimental field? The second is that everyone has worked hard and can't do it themselves.

He fell in the rice field. The soul of this land returned to their mother.

Although we can't stop death, we can stay in memory forever.

I hope everyone can always remember, cherish food, eat, drink and be merry, put an end to waste and work hard.
