Liang used touching words to express the desire and scientific truth of greening China. In his article "Let the shade protect summer and the red leaves welcome autumn", he praised the motherland's tomorrow and his dedication: "Greening is a beautiful word. The mountains are green and the water is green; The water is green, and the Yellow River where hundreds of rivers converge may gradually turn into a blue sea. In this way, green mountains and green waters are woven into a jade pattern on the territory of the motherland. ..... The forestry work is endless, and the greening needs agronomic cultivation and gardening tending; We should make factories like gardens, cities like parks and villages like gardens. Greening should use shade to protect summer and red leaves to welcome autumn. ..... In this way, China's 9.6 million square kilometers of land will all be turned into a big park, and everyone will work, study, exercise, rest and live happily in the big park built by themselves. " What a charming and wonderful state this is. He knows that to achieve this lofty goal, not a few people or dozens of people can accomplish it, and people must be aroused to work together. Therefore, it is necessary to widely publicize the importance of forestry and mobilize people to participate in the afforestation movement. He used various occasions and opportunities to do propaganda and popularization of forestry. 1in the spring of 950, a spring afforestation campaign was launched nationwide. He wrote with great joy: "Welcome the spring in New China by planting trees. ..... Spring brings us fresh life, making everything from old to new, from death to life, from yellow to green, indicating an infinite future. " 1954, China's first documentary about forests, Baishan Blackwater Forest, was filmed and released. Liang published an article in Popular Film, introducing this documentary about the great forest. During his tenure as the chairman of China Science and Technology Popularization Association, Liang personally wrote an illustrated popular science booklet "The Role of Forests in National Economic Construction", which introduced the role of forests and forest by-products in China's economic construction in a simple way.

Youth is the master of the future. Youth should become the main force of afforestation. Liang loves young people very much and attaches importance to their role in greening the motherland. 1In March, 956, the Central Committee held a youth afforestation meeting in five provinces and regions in Yan 'an. He couldn't help praising the youth with a wonderful pen, and wrote an article for China Youth magazine, calling on the youth to realize the beautiful ideal of greening China. That year, he also wrote letters to high school graduates, introduced forestry and forestry to middle school students, and enthusiastically called on students to join the forestry team "bravely, decisively and happily", learn to green barren hills, conquer the Yellow River and transform nature for the motherland. It can be seen how thorough and meticulous Liang's propaganda work has been and how long it has taken. This year, Liang also wrote the article Greening the Loess Plateau and Radically Curing the Yellow River Flood for Traveler magazine, and also wrote articles such as Science and Technology Benefiting the People, People's Forestry and Important Tasks of Forestry Work.

In Liang's poems, there are many beautiful sentences handed down by people who work for forestry, such as "No mountain is not green, all the water is clear, all the seasons have flowers, and all the valleys have birds singing, which makes the rivers and mountains look magnificent and depicts the land as a painter in new China and an artist in new China." This wonderful sentence will always inspire people to work hard for the greening of the motherland!

Basic background

From saving the country through democracy and science to recognizing that only socialism can save China, this is the experience of progressive intellectuals in modern China. Liang's life is a typical example of China intellectuals going through this process. After Liang's disillusionment with the democratic revolution in his early years, he turned to saving the country with science and attacked forestry science. He struggled in forestry education for most of his life, calling for changing the backward forestry in China. But in corrupt and incompetent old China, how much can Liang's voice arouse? Which ruler's attention and support can be moved? He is looking for a way out for anxious scientists and technicians.

From Liang's years of exploration, I realized a truth, that is, scientists cannot leave politics. In his monograph Science and Politics published in 1948, he pointed out: "Science is inseparable from politics, politics is like soil, and science is like plants. Plants can only grow with the help of soil, and science and technology can only be carried forward with the help of political power. " "Scientists avoid politics, but politics follows them closely." Liang called on scientists to care about and participate in politics. Since the 1940s, Liang has actively pursued progress and participated in progressive social activities, which is based on this understanding.

Important deeds

During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Liang got to know the outstanding leader and Dong of China * * * Production Party, studied Marxism-Leninism and thought, often read and participated in editing Xinhua Daily, became more open-minded and took an active part in political activities. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, the Kuomintang stepped up its civil war, and Liang was the first natural science person to support the signature movement of the current political situation. Chen Lifu and Zhu Jiahua put a lot of pressure on Liang to deny it. Liang denied it with integrity and never broke his word. 1948 Nanjing Central University students held a "natural science seminar" at the Central University to commemorate the 29th anniversary of the May 4th Movement. Liang, et al. made generous speeches, regardless of their personal safety, shouting: "Students, don't be afraid, the dawn is coming," which greatly inspired the students' fighting spirit.

Liang also actively and enthusiastically organized and participated in mass organization activities. From 65438 to 0944, he and several famous intellectuals who were in Chongqing at that time, such as Jin Shanbao, Tu and Ganduo, insisted on attending the "natural science symposium", where they talked about the current situation and studied Marxist-Leninist works. At the end of 1944, on the basis of "natural science symposium", China Science Society, China Natural Science Society, China Agricultural Society, China Engineers Society and other scientific and technical personnel initiated the establishment of "Chinese Scientists Association", with Liang as one of the main sponsors. Institute founded Science News, editorial board of Ren Liang.

1946, Liang participated in the "Democratic Science Symposium", which was later changed to "Jiu San Society", and Liang was elected as the supervisor. 1950, has been the vice chairman of the Jiu San Society.

1947, Liang et al. organized "Nanjing Branch of Chinese Scientists Association", and Liang was elected as the chairman, putting forward the slogan that scientists should care about politics and strive for democracy. Liang and other progressive social activists United the vast number of scientific workers and organized social groups for democracy and freedom, forming a strong team of scientific and technological workers, which laid the foundation for the establishment of the All-China Federation of Natural Science Specialized Societies and the All-China Association for the Popularization of Science and Technology in the 1950s. Liang, then chairman of the All-China Association for the Popularization of Science and Technology, went to Czechoslovakia with Mao Yisheng, Zhang Changshao, Cao Richang and Gu Chaohao, heads of the delegation of China Association for the Popularization of Science, to attend the second congress of the World Association for Science and Technology in 195 1. He usually attaches great importance to popular science work, and personally wrote many popular science articles, such as Nature and Policy of Popular Science Association, New Stage of Popular Science Work, Popular Science Work under the Policy of Let a Hundred Flowers Let a Hundred Schools of Thought Contend, Farmers Need Scientific Turn-over, Women have the Right to Invite Scientists to Popularize Science, Extensive Cooperation between Trade Unions and Popular Science Association, Rising Wave of Popular Science Work, and Giving Scientific and Technological Knowledge to the People.

Attach importance to the activities of associations.

Liang also attaches great importance to the activities of the society. As early as 1927, he participated in the activities of China Agricultural Society at that time and served as the director of China Agricultural Society. 1928 was elected as the director of China Forestry Society until 1949. He has worked in two societies for more than 20 years, including 1935 to 194 1 year, and served as the chairman of China Agricultural Society for 6 years. After the founding of New China, China Forestry Society actively planned and was elected as the chairman.

During his tenure as a member of the Society, Liang attached great importance to running well the publications of the Society. He believes that "there is no meeting without newspapers", and periodicals are the lifeblood of society. He is not only the editor-in-chief of the magazine, but also actively writes papers for the magazine of the society. According to rough statistics, he has written 24 papers for the publications of the Agricultural Society and the Forestry Society. He is really an enthusiastic newspaper reporter. At that time, the source of funds for running a school was completely dependent on membership fees and social donations. In this very unfavorable situation, Liang is still very enthusiastic about the work of the institute. He is frugal and generous, and he always pays the most dues. Not only that, he also devoted a lot of rest time to social undertakings. During his six years as chairman of China Agricultural Society, he installed a bed in the small building where the Society worked, and handled meetings every weekend until he returned to school on Monday morning. This attitude of treating the work of the Institute wholeheartedly has been praised by the majority of members. Under his auspices, China Agricultural Society developed rapidly, and its members increased day by day, becoming one of the most prestigious societies at that time.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liang, as the Minister of Forestry, not only made suggestions and suggestions on the central forestry policy, but also spoke frankly about the central political policy. 1956 when a hundred schools of thought contend, Liang wrote his own opinion on some chaotic concepts in the society at that time: "For the prosperity of academics and the development of culture, we should relax the scale of' home' and expand the garden of' singing'. As long as it is not counter-revolutionary, everyone can reach out and write freely. Knowledge, erudition, skill and insight should also be sung, so should the old-timers who have studied hard for a long time, and the young people who have just begun to learn. Only in this way can we vigorously cultivate thousands of outstanding young scientists from' Bai Ming' and March into science and socialism. "

1in August, 957, in an unpublished article, he frankly criticized some "left" policies of the * * * production party in the intellectual reform movement, which reflected the bitterness of some injured intellectuals and expressed their anguish and sorrow. He expressed great sadness at the adverse consequences caused by some party organizations and party member's wrong practices, thinking that this is digging the foundation of the China * * * production party, digging the Great Wall of Wan Li with 60 million people, and building a high wall separating the * * * production party from the Democrats; For the sake of United front and socialist construction, Liang put forward suggestions on how to respect scientists and commend people's teachers in universities, primary and secondary schools.
