at 13: 7 on may 22nd, Yuan Longping, the winner of "* * * and National Medal", academician of China Academy of Engineering and director of National Hybrid Rice Engineering Technology Research Center, died in Changsha at the age of 91. According to reports, the news came that people specially picked green seedlings and put them in the open space in front of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University to treat Yuan Longping, expressing endless grief.
"One rice helps the world, and ten thousand families have enough food." How to evaluate Yuan Longping's achievements? Yuan Longping was awarded the "* * * and National Medal", and the introduction of the relevant departments was quite accurate: he devoted his life to the research, application and popularization of hybrid rice technology, invented the "three-line method" indica hybrid rice, successfully researched the "two-line method" hybrid rice, and established the super hybrid rice technology system, making outstanding contributions to China's food security, agricultural scientific development and world food supply.
The public has high respect for Yuan Longping because he made China people hold their rice bowls more firmly. As some netizens said, "Three meals a day are filled with rice, and those who are full should always remember yuangong." For China, a country with a long history of famine, people have a deep pain in hunger, and they have almost godlike reverence for those who solve hunger. "Hybrid rice is an important way for China people to overcome hunger", and China people do have reason to thank Yuan Longping.
For Yuan Longping, the ambition is not just to solve the problem of feeding people in China. He has two big dreams: the dream of enjoying the cool under the grass and the dream of hybrid rice covering the whole world. The second dream is obviously to cherish the world and have universal feelings. In fact, Yuan Longping's hybrid rice has indeed gone out of China and into the world, such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Pakistan and Africa-Yuan Longping said, "I hope that hybrid rice can contribute to food security in Africa." His wish has come true. The African island country Madagascar printed a bunch of hybrid rice on the new currency just to remember Yuan Longping.
After Yuan Longping's death, UN official Weibo commented: "Academician Yuan Longping has made outstanding contributions to promoting food security, eliminating poverty and benefiting people's livelihood!" It can be seen that Yuan Longping's scientific research achievements are of great significance in contemporary China and today's world-he wrote his exploits on the land of China and on the land of the world.
Over the past few days, countless articles recalling or paying tribute to Yuan Longping have moved people. In a series of articles related to Yuan Longping, two articles written by him are particularly thought-provoking. One is what he said to his mother at his 8th birthday party: "After so many years, why can't I just sit down quietly and spend time with you?" "Mom, whenever my research achieves results, whenever I talk and laugh in international forums, whenever I receive one trophy after another, I always tell people that the person who has the deepest influence on me in this life is your mother!" "I can't imagine, in that time of displacement, from Peiping to Hankou and from Taoyuan to Chongqing, without your persistence and encouragement, how could I get a systematic modern education and gain the courage to fight freely in the rivers?"
such words and sentences are full of emotion, which makes people unable to read them. Yuan Longping is a real master, a great scientist who enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad, and a great figure who seems to make people stop at the top of the mountain. From his letters to his mother, what people read is human nature, human kindness, being immersed in love with children, and the true voice of a son. This kind of heartfelt words will not damage Yuan Longping's tall image, but also make people feel admired.
The other article is My Two Dreams published in People's Daily on October 23rd, 219. The article wrote: "In such a big country, if food security is not guaranteed, nothing else can be discussed. I will fight to make China people eat enough!" "I hope to finally realize the two wishes of' enjoying the cool under the grass and covering the whole world'." If the mother essay focuses on personal feelings, then the dream essay focuses on the feelings of home and country. The two articles "molded" a complete person, a person with flesh and blood, a person who cares about the country, a person who is rooted in the soil and has lofty aspirations, and a person who loves his family, patriotism and the world. This is exactly what Yuan Lao is most respectable.
"Man is like a seed, we should make a good seed", which Academician Yuan Longping often said before his death has become a famous saying in this world. When a person lives in the world, he always has to leave something behind. Great people have made great contributions to human development, and we ordinary people can also contribute a little light and heat. As Yuan Longping said, "When the seeds are healthy, each of us can have a deep-rooted career with thick branches and fruitful fruits." Being a good seed, opening your own flowers, bearing your own fruits, enjoying yourself, and at the same time providing strength within your power for social progress, perhaps this is the greatest inspiration that Yuan Longping has brought us.
