The famous sayings and deeds of contemporary patriotic figures are as follows:

1. Yuan Longping, the father of "hybrid rice".

Rice is the main food of the Chinese people. But for a long time, rice production has been low and the population is so large. Farmers have been cultivating rice for many years, but they still cannot meet their "eating" needs. Low grain output is a major obstacle to my country's economic development. Agricultural science and technology worker Yuan Longping is determined to tackle this problem for the country.

Famous quote: Books and computers are important, but books and computers cannot grow rice.

2. Li Siguang returned home resolutely.

Li Siguang, a geologist who has made outstanding contributions to my country's geological science and petroleum industry, was forced to go to the UK to study geological science before liberation. As soon as New China was born, he saw the future and hope of the Chinese nation, and despite the coercion and surveillance of the Kuomintang government's diplomats, he secretly took a detour to return to China.

Quotation: Even if we only see a glimmer of truth, we cannot let its brilliance dim.

3. Qian Xuesen.

We all know that Qian Xuesen is a very great figure. When New China was founded in 1949, Qian Xuesen was the director of the California Supersonic Laboratory and the head of the Guggenheim Jet Propulsion Research Center. Qian Xuesen was very excited about the founding of New China, so he decided to give up his opportunity in the United States and return to serve in China.

However, Qian Xuesen's major was related to national defense, so his return to the country was obstructed by the United States. Qian Xuesen went through all kinds of hardships before returning to the embrace of the motherland. From this we can see that Mr. Qian loves his motherland very much.

Famous quote: Never be stubborn in scientific work. If you lack the courage to admit your mistakes, you will suffer big losses.

4. Hua Luogeng.

“I was born with endless love and care from him.” At that time, Xiao Hua only had a junior high school education. He overcame all objections and allowed Hua Luogeng to teach in the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University and send him to Cambridge University for further study. Chen Shengshen, who is as famous as Hua Luogeng and studied in the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University, also benefited from his sincere teachings and later became the greatest geometer of the 20th century and the father of modern differential geometry.

Famous saying: Only those who are good at using sporadic time will achieve greater results.

5. Qian Weichang.

My husband has always been selfless and never considered personal matters. He never married, regarded his students as sons and daughters, and had a very cordial relationship with all young people. He not only imparted knowledge to students, but also set an example and influenced a large number of scientific workers with practical actions, uniting everyone to work together. We miss him, and his friends and students voluntarily donated money to establish this award.

Famous quote: To learn the key things, you have to stride forward. If you look back after you have gone far, the original things will be gone.
