1. There is nothing wrong with pursuing fame and fortune, but some people strive for fame and fortune without doing much. They have to fight for whatever awards they win or articles they publish. Some honest people do a lot of things but don't care about fame and fortune. I think that if you take fame and fortune indifferently and don't compete for fame and fortune, you will feel better.
2. Regarding the food issue, I think it is too important. There are 1.3 billion people in the country. Although the country has some food reserves, I think we cannot be blindly optimistic or take it lightly at the moment. Grain is always a strategic material and must be appropriately reserved. We cannot ignore its production just because there is too much grain. Grain prices should be raised appropriately to protect farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain. No matter how good the technology is, no matter how good the varieties are, if farmers are unwilling to plant them, food will not be produced. Therefore, the government's minimum protective price policy for grains is a good thing and is good for encouraging farmers to be enthusiastic about growing grains.
3. The government has introduced many policies to benefit farmers, such as grain subsidies, agricultural machinery subsidies, etc. This is a good thing, but the most basic thing is to increase grain prices. The price department must play its role in controlling the price increases of other corresponding products. Now that the country's financial resources have increased, it can use a sum of money to increase the protective price of food so that farmers can get real benefits.
4. Farmers are very simple and hard-working. I am ashamed that I have not been able to learn some good things from farmers. Some people look down on farmers, which is wrong. I think the farmers’ spirit of simplicity, diligence, and frugality should be worth learning from each of us. I have great respect for farmers. They are very simple, very affectionate, and very hospitable. If you go to his home, no matter how poor he is, he will treat you to the best things in the house. Therefore, whether it is a farmer scientist or a modern farmer, I think it is a good name.
5. The promotion of hybrid rice is of positive significance to improving our country's international influence. Nowadays, some international presidential-level figures also visit our research center, such as the President of Liberia, the former President of Indonesia, etc., and there are even more prime minister-level and ministerial-level figures. Central leaders also said that hybrid rice is a diplomatic trump card and will help us win more international friends.
6. If young people do not have funds for their research, I will provide them with appropriate funding and reward young people who have made contributions in agriculture. In the past, many young people could not apply for funding for some projects. How could you do research without money? To mobilize their enthusiasm, I would subsidize them 30,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan, and more than 50,000 yuan a year.
7. The pursuit of career is to enjoy hardship. Engaging in agricultural science and technology work is very hard, being exposed to the sun and stepping in the mud all day long. But because there is hope that there will be good varieties, I am happy in the pain. If there is no hope and no purpose, there will be no fun.
8. Whether the scientific research project is in the right direction is the premise. If the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain. As long as the direction is right, despite setbacks and failures, through hard work, you will eventually succeed.
9. I have indeed won many international awards. It is difficult to say which one I like. I think these awards are all similar. They are all international honors and there is no distinction between them. I am not a scientist, nor am I a farmer-scientist. I am a scientific and technological worker, at best an agriculturist, not a scientist.
