Academician of China Academy of Engineering, "* * * and National Medal"

Yuan Longping, the winner, died in Changsha.

9 1 year.

The fall of the superstar made the whole country grieve.

When I was a child, whenever I wasted food, my grandma and dad would seriously say, "How many people starved to death in 60 years?". Until now, as long as I see the leftovers that have been dumped, I still have to talk a few words. They are really hungry.

I remember when Yuan Lao was interviewed by Face to Face, when the reporter asked: Are you particularly afraid of starving people? Yuan Lao connected twice and said firmly: "Impossible!" . Don Paarlberg, an American scholar, wrote in his book Towards a world with plenty of food and clothing: Yuan Longping made "the threat of hunger recede, and Jacky led us towards a world with adequate nutrition".

The figure in the field that we always look up to and admire is an eternal monument, which not only fills our stomachs, but also fills our hearts. These two days, I read an article in mourning for my mother written by Yuan Lao many years ago. In this affectionate article, apart from the affectionate mother and son who made me cry, the pattern of Yuan Lao's mother touched me even more.

Let's read the original text together:

Mom, the rice is cooked.

The meal is ready, mom, I'm coming to see you.

I wanted to talk to you alone and quietly. The folks in Anjiang are so enthusiastic that they have been with me on such a hot day. Thank them.

Mom, you are in Anjiang and I am in Changsha, which is far away. I always think of you and Anjiang in my dreams.

Mother hugs Yuan Longping, who is 1 year old, and her brother Jinlong is sitting next to her.

People are unpredictable. You, a lady who is used to seeing the prosperity of the city, will eventually stay in such a remote mountain village forever.

Do you remember? 1957, I was assigned here by Chongqing University. It was you who accompanied me, your face was on the map, and your fingers walked along the dense thin lines for a long time before I found such a small point on the map. At that time, you sighed and said, "Son, you will suffer if you go ..."

I said, "I'm still young, and I still have a violin."

Unexpectedly, I dragged you to Anjiang for me and to help me take care of my children.

Finally, your mother will suffer! You don't like the ridge in the country! I will always remember that every time I have to hold your hand, you dare to walk through the field path in front of and behind the house.

Anjiang is everything to me, but I forgot that for you who have lived in a big city all your life, you are 70 years old, and everything has to be readjusted.

I never asked you what your difficulties were. I always thought there would be time, and I would have time. When I am free, I will definitely spend some time with you ... I didn't expect that I was still busy with meetings in Changsha until you left.

It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and colleagues from all over the country came. It is not easy to engage in hybrid rice. I'm also the convener, and I want to spend this festival with you anyway. It's just that my son always owes his mother you. ...

In fact, I know it was your last moment. Mom, I've been expecting you to stay for two more days. Who knows, even if I went to Anjiang before dawn, I still couldn't see your mother for the last time.

It's too late, everything is too late, and I really regret it.

Mom, you must have waited for me for a long time, expecting me for a long time. You must have a lot to say to your son and a lot to explain. But how can I be so confused!

After all these years, why can't I sit down quietly and get along with you? Just ... just once.

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 my life is my mother!

I can't imagine, without your English enlightenment, how can I read the most advanced scientific literature in the world and visit the geneticists Mendel and Morgan with a vision beyond that era?

I can't imagine how I could have got a systematic modern education and the courage to fly freely in the rivers without your persistence and encouragement during the drifting from Beiping to Hankou and from Taoyuan to Chongqing in those years.

I can't imagine how I could firmly believe that there must be a seed that can make millions of people say goodbye to hunger without you telling me about Nietzsche before the cradle and about this great philosopher with high vitality and willpower.

They said, I changed the world with a seed. I know, this seed was planted by your mother when I was young!

Mom, the rice is cooked. Can you smell it? How about Anjiang? Are there any familiar laughter on the ridge there?

2 1 year later, I vaguely saw my little grandson holding your hand and walking through the back of the rice wave; I also want to tell you that my mother, who has never planted in my life, has rice awns on her palms, piles of straw in the fields, millet crackling in the sun, and orange fragrance floating in the paddy fields in the west sun. These are all things my son wants to say to you, and there are endless words. ...

Mom, the meal is ready, I miss you!

Yuan Lao's endless yearning, praise, admiration, gratitude and guilt for his mother show us the softest side of this great scientist, and also let us know whose shoulder this scientific giant stood on before he grew up so great.

Yuan Lao has two dreams, one is to enjoy the cool under the grain, and the other is to cover the whole world with hybrid rice. It was his mother who sowed the seeds of his great dream.

A good mother affects three generations.

Mother's responsibility to family, society and country-not only childbirth, but also high-quality parenting.

Parents are the first teachers of children and the enlighteners of children's dreams. Yuan's old mother always wanted her son to love agriculture and be a "contemporary Shennong" to keep everyone away from hunger! Therefore, through the "Shennong Cave", rural orchards and other events, he will be constantly guided to get in close contact with nature and become interested in the magic and beauty of nature, thus planting an agricultural dream.

The British philosopher John Locke once said that the impression you get when you are young, even if it is small and almost imperceptible, has a great and lasting influence. Therefore, when children are young, we must listen to and learn more about celebrity stories at all times and all over the world, so that these great men can become the guiding lights for children. As Yuan Lao said, "My mother told him about Nietzsche and philosophy, so that he could remain firm even if he failed millions of times."

Real education lies in awakening. Wake up children's internal physical strength in learning and let internal physical strength promote their own learning. Real education lies in letting children master learning tools by themselves. If you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your tools first. As Yuan Lao said, "His mother enlightened him in English with a vision beyond that era, which laid the foundation for him to contact the world's first scientific literature in the future."

Yuan Lao has been through the ages.

We should stand on our own feet.

May we learn from Yuan Mu, plant dreams for our children, and let the seeds of dreams take root;

May we learn from Yuan Mu, enlighten children's English and open their eyes to the world;

May we learn from Yuan Lao, so that we can enjoy the cool and eat food. Let's take the stick.

Yuan Lao, have a good trip.
