Yuan Longping, Father of Hybrid Rice (1)
A seed changed the world, Pangu opened the world and human beings were born. From that moment on, getting rid of hunger and striving for survival became an immortal theme in human history. Throughout history, emperors and generals, although in different countries and territories, have the same eternal dream to solve the food problem. Food is the most important thing for people, and human beings have never stopped fighting hunger and never stopped craving for food. When the historical scale stays at 2 1 century, the world population has reached 6 billion, but there are still 800 million people starving, with an average of 24,000 people dying of hunger every day. Today, with the increasingly prominent food problem, the world has turned its attention to China, a vast country with only 7% of the world's arable land and 22% of the population.
Facing the grim reality, the world has fallen into a food panic. People not only ask repeatedly: Who will feed China and who will feed the world? Current events make heroes. In the 1970s, an explosion broke out in this ancient land of China? Green revolution? Through the successful research of hybrid rice, the yield per mu of rice was finally increased from 300 kg to 800 kg, with more than 230 million mu popularized and more than 20 billion kg increased. The increased grain can feed 75 million people. The hero changed the world with a seed. Heroes confidently declared to the world that the people of China can not only feed themselves, but also make great contributions to solving the world food problem. The hero's name resounded through the sky and was loved by the people? Contemporary Shennong? He is Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice. Looking back at the birth of the miracle, it actually originated from an outing in childhood. When he was 6 years old in Wuhan Garden, he was immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery as soon as he saw the lush garden, full of fragrant flowers and bearing a string of bright fruits.
I want to study agriculture when I grow up. No one knows, then fate has begun to quietly arrange miracles. Yuan Longping walked down the simple childhood dream step by step. 1953, Yuan Longping, who graduated from the Agricultural Department of Southwest Agricultural College, resolutely came from Chongqing, Sichuan to teach at Anjiang Agricultural School next to Xuefeng Mountain in western Hunan, in order to pursue his dream. Yes 19 years teaching experience. Students all respect him, regard him as a mentor and friend, and are even more moved by his dedication to rice fields. This intellectual, who grew up in a big city, has never been afraid of stink or dirt. He can bend down barefoot at any time to observe the growth of rice fields. Wind and rain can't stop his enthusiasm, and farmers joke about him? Yuan Dianzi? . It is this obsession that outsiders can't understand that invisibly supports him. It is this persistent belief in his dreams that drives him behind, and it is this practical and rigorous academic attitude that finally achieved a bumper harvest. Time has changed, and heaven rewards diligence. After ten years of wind and rain, the research on hybrid rice has made today's achievements. Yuan Longping for a? A future without hunger for mankind? I gave all my youth, all my energy and sweat. Man-made malicious destruction destroyed carefully cultivated seedlings again and again; Repeated natural disasters have made the scientific research process difficult. However, all the difficulties and obstacles in the past ten years have finally bowed their heads under the power of dreams and lost in the contest with dreams. This resolute man is still indomitable after falling down again and again, even comforting his wife in the face of suffering. The deeper the valley, the higher the mountain peak.
What we are suffering at present is actually a blessing to our future. A valuable and meaningful life comes from adversity. It should be said that suffering is the best gift from God. ? Plain words reveal the light of sages, and a peaceful mind indicates the message of success. Yuan Longping and his students frequently migrate like migratory birds, from Changsha in spring to Nanning in autumn to Hainan in winter, from north to south, and all three places are devoted to providing suitable environment for seeds. They also soak seeds in trains, ships and planes going north and south, and even tie precious seeds around their waists to use their body temperature to accelerate germination. From 1946 to 1970, Yuan Longping and his assistants spent 6 years, 2 190 days and nights, used more than 1000 rice varieties, and did more than 3,000 experiments, but in the end they did not make substantial progress. Depressed Yuan Longping didn't continue to be depressed. With the support of the party and the government as always, he quickly adjusted his research plan and actively devoted himself to another experiment. The sword front comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold. 1973, Yuan Longping bred three-line hybrid rice for the first time in the world, which successfully increased the yield per mu of rice from 300 kg to over 500 kg. Yuan Longping's hybrid rice really solved the problem of eating in China, and farmers affectionately called him? Mi bodhisattva? . The famous scientist is usually informal and looks like a farmer. Facing the people who laughed at him, he just smiled and said, I am working in agriculture now. Dressing too carefully will make farmers feel different, so they won't make friends with me. Besides, it is inconvenient to work in the fields. ? This approachable character has established real feelings between him and the villagers.
Once, a farmer in Chenzhou met Yuan Longping and said, Miss Yuan, we want to thank you and blame you. You have made the output so high, and now the grain is worthless. ? Yuan Longping said thoughtfully to the villagers:? It is really unprofitable to grow food now, but it is indispensable. Some fields can be taken out to grow high-yield rice and make room for some profitable crops. Isn't that both food and money? Two years later, I saw the farmer again. He excitedly said to Yuan Longping, Mr. Yuan, according to your method, it succeeded, the grain was harvested, and watermelons and vegetables were sold at good prices. Now we 100% thank you. Yuan Longping solved the problem for the villagers with dialectical eyes? Cheap food hurts farmers? problem Today's Yuan Longping is no longer Yuan Longping in China, but belongs to the world and all mankind. Yuan Longping has visited India, Vietnam, Myanmar, the Philippines, Bangladesh and other countries for more than a dozen times to guide and promote hybrid rice, and trained more than 300 technical backbones for more than 20 countries. 1999 was approved by the International Committee for Naming Small Celestial Bodies, and an asteroid was named? Yuan Longping star? This asteroid is twinkling and soaring in the vast universe. The dream of childhood has come true, and this tireless dreamer has a new dream. He hopes that one day in the autumn harvest season, rice can grow as tall as sorghum, ears as long as brooms and grains as big as peanuts, and some friends can sit under the ears of rice to enjoy the cool.
Is that what people are talking about? Dream of enjoying the cool under the grain? . A seed changes the world, because it carries human dreams, because the power of dreams makes this seed take root quietly, and it breaks ground with amazing vitality. This seed changed China, changed the world and changed mankind. Generate, a little seed, has never seen energy before. Knowledge+sweat+inspiration+opportunity gave it infinite nourishment. Bathed in the sunshine of the new era, this seed that changes the world is still growing, and those dreams under the grass and those wishes to stay away from hunger will also be realized with the vigorous growth of this seed.
Yuan Longping, Father of Hybrid Rice (Ⅱ)
China, an ancient country with a history of 5,000 years. Years are like a river, and patriotic heroes come forth in large numbers. They love their motherland from different angles and aspects.
I read a book called Yuan Longping, Father of Hybrid Rice this year. After reading it, my thoughts fluctuated and I was deeply encouraged. In the book, Yuan Longping had the idea of becoming an agronomist when he was a child, and worked hard for this dream. At that time, the motherland suffered from war and witnessed the misery of starvation everywhere, which was Yuan Longping's own childhood ideal. He has worked hard in the front line of rice research for decades. Once, there was an earthquake where rice was grown in Yuan Longping. Obviously, he could live in a safe place, but he gave up a precious opportunity. He still built a hut next to the dilapidated house and lived down. He wants to watch the bud grow. Yuan Longping has gone through storms and tests, and finally proved with resounding facts that the people of China not only have the ability to feed the people of China, but also can hold the people of the world high and solve problems? Eat? The question he said: I am a knowledge farmer, and my roots are in China. ?
I have many dreams: painter, calligrapher and diplomat. I have been fighting for these goals since I was a child. Someone said:? People can have many dreams, but it is enough to realize one! ? But I don't think so. I think life will be more colorful if all my dreams come true.
People need dreams, because with dreams, life has motivation and hope. Because of the process of realizing dreams, life will become full and meaningful!
Thoughts on Yuan Longping, Father of Hybrid Rice (Ⅲ)
Today, I read Yuan Longping, the Father of Hybrid Rice, written by Zhixia Zhuang and Sun Jianhe, and benefited a lot.
1930 September 1, Yuan Longping was born in Peking Union Medical College Hospital on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. Before I was 6 years old, I lived with my parents in Beiping, Tianjin, Jiangxi, De 'an and Hankou. His childhood suffered from war, and he witnessed the pain of hunger. Seeing the pain of many people without food, he made up his mind to be an agronomist and solve the problem of food for the people. After graduating from Chongqing Xianghui College, I traveled more than 2,000 miles and traveled to several counties, which lasted more than 20 days. He has been at the forefront of rice research for decades at the foot of Xuefeng Mountain on the eastern edge of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and in Qianyang County on the banks of Yuanshui River. After several trials and investigations, he finally proved that China people not only have the ability to support themselves, but also others.
Although we are getting richer with the smooth progress of reform and opening up, we still have to cherish food. Every grain of rice is hard to come by. Modern students should take Yuan Longping as an example, study hard scientific and cultural knowledge, be patriotic and dedicated, be willing to contribute and dare to innovate, and strive to create China for our people to build a well-off society in an all-round way.
Yuan Longping, Father of Hybrid Rice (4)
Yuan Longping dares to challenge, three years later? Looking for a needle in a haystack? The first male sterile rice was found, and hybrid rice was tried from this male sterile rice. Although it took him ten years, he never thought of giving up. With strong will, I finally succeeded. After his success, he made his technology public without reservation. This is also the place where he is most moved. He solved the problem of world famine and changed the food development of the whole world. As far as his influence on the world is concerned, it is out and out? Giant? But he still modestly calls himself. Ordinary agricultural science and technology workers? . He is a good example for us to learn. We should learn from his spirit of asking questions, unremitting efforts and selfless dedication.
