To celebrate Yuan Longping's birthday, Yuan Longping dictated his autobiography, which was published on 20 10 and given a new interview. According to the chronology of Yuan Longping in the appendix of this book, Yuan Longping was born in Peking Union Medical College Hospital on September 1930 (the ninth day of the seventh lunar month). There is also a widely circulated record that he was born on1September 7, 930 (Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month).
Personal life
The dislocation of years may be related to the chaotic world and our protagonist's wandering childhood, and fuzzy memories will inevitably be biased. Even before he was eighty, he didn't know his exact birthday, let alone who first brought him into this world. It was not until a baby's birth evidence was rediscovered in the historical archives of Peking Union Medical College Hospital that an exact date of birth belonging to him was finally restored.
This is the ninth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. He is not a horse but a snake, that is, a little dragon. For an old man who is over eighty years old at this time, this is a long-awaited life confirmation. In this regard, Mr. Yuan Longping, who has been careless all his life, thinks it doesn't matter whether he changes it or not. Over the years, he has long been used to the birthday on September 7, and it has become natural. But for a rigorous and meticulous scientist. I think this is a very necessary amendment to establish a correct start in life.
