In scientific research, Yuan Longping is a very serious and rigorous person, but in daily life, he is an open-minded and very humorous person.
Life is short, you should be relaxed and happy when you are alive, and humor is a good medicine to relax and be happy. Most people with a sense of humor are quick-thinking, talented, open-minded and easy to get along with. In the mid-1950s, Yuan Longping and I met in Anjiang. Later, we wrote many of his works, so we are old friends. On one occasion, my wife and I visited him at the provincial hybrid rice research center, and took a photo as a souvenir when we left. He is a world-famous scientist, so I naturally let him stand in the middle. He said jokingly, "Isn't this a third party?" My wife and I couldn't help laughing.
Yuan Longping's humor is consistent.
At that time, he was a teacher at Anjiang Agricultural School. He couldn't find a rag for a while, so he wiped the blackboard with his sleeves, which naturally caused the students to laugh. Yuan Longping said seriously, "what are you laughing at? Einstein also used dollar checks as bookmarks? "
Yuan Longping likes a free and loose life. The button of his clothes fell off and his shoes were dirty, so someone named him "oil press". Why do you speak Hunan dialect? It means untidy. This nickname was given by a teacher named Li Xiaomu. Li Xiaomu is a happy ghost. At that time, he began to learn "Big Brother in the Soviet Union" and gave him the nickname "Flat-headed Husband". There was a teacher named Zeng who loved to write articles, so Yuan Longping called him "Ceng Laoshi", and a teacher named Cao loved to hum Peking Opera, so he took the nickname "". They don't call each other names or teachers, they just use nicknames for fun.
Yuan Longping is talented and has many hobbies, such as playing the violin, swimming, volleyball, tap dancing and playing mahjong. Playing mahjong instead of "lottery" drills the table, even if Yuan Longping loses. Sometimes bad luck, miss again and again, practice again and again. Some people say, forget it this time! Yuan Longping ungrateful, so drilling, as an academician of the Academy of Engineering, a famous scientist, playing mahjong to drill tables, is really unheard of, but now that he is old, it is difficult to drill tables, so he changed other ways and stopped drilling tables.
Smoking is one of the main factors threatening people's health in China. According to statistics, there are 300 million smokers in China. In this regard, Yuan Longping made an irony and summarized seven benefits of smoking: a bridge of friendship (the medium of interpersonal communication); The source of inspiration (activating thinking and inspiration); Lonely partner (smoking eliminates loneliness); The bane of SARS (tar in smoke); A good medicine for dementia (tobacco contains nicotine); A symbol of health (if a smoker doesn't want to smoke, it means his health is declining); Yuan Longping, a big taxpayer (part of the country's tax revenue comes from smokers), makes people feel that he is preaching the benefits of smoking. Wrong, this is his suspense. The final conclusion is: "The disadvantages outweigh the advantages. I don't smoke. "
When it comes to naming children, Yuan Longping is different. Three brothers, Yuan Longping, are all men. He gave birth to three sons, which, according to him, are "single species". The eldest son was nicknamed "May 1st", the second son was nicknamed "May 2nd" and the third son was nicknamed "May 3rd". One, two, three, four, the slogan of marching troops, only the fourth one was absent, which ended at "three" Speaking of grandchildren, Yuan Longping also named them. It rained a few days ago, and the eldest grandson girl came down. On the day of birth, the rain cleared up, so it was named "Yuan Youqing"; The second granddaughter was born on the "rain" festival of the lunar calendar, so she was named "Yuan Youqing". Yuan Longping proudly said: "Sunny is the sun, sunny is the rain, there is sunshine and rain, and everything grows sturdily." When naming his children, he did not forget agriculture, nor did he forget "seclusion" and "silence".
