"Rice is very popular with farmers ...... the mountains”
Is this sentence still familiar?
During the 2022 Party Congress, Zhu Youyong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, caused an uproar when he said this passage on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a scientist who is nearly seventy years old and has made great contributions to farmers in his hometown, tried the resources of "cyberviolence" for the first time.
During that time, the rice mountain has almost reached the level of demonization on the Internet, and Academician Zhu's voice and the farmland washed away by the flood look full of irony, and Academician Zhu himself has become a pseudo-expert who cheats money and projects in the mouths of radical netizens.
Fueled by some bad accounts, the rice bashing has turned into a carnival in the Internet world, with personal attacks pouring in like a tidal wave.
Fortunately, Academician Zhu was not knocked down by the anger and malice of those people, let alone gave up the scientific research he had been engaged in for many years.
To this day, looking at the rice on the mountain, it is actually really popular with farmers, and those who slander the rice on the mountain owe Academician Zhu an apology.
Rice on the mountain is a special name given by Academician Zhu Youyong when he was squatting in rural Yunnan in order to let local farmers understand the planting technology, in fact, this project should be called rice dry planting, that is, leaving the traditional paddy field and planting rice on dry land.
This is a pioneering technology that can greatly alleviate food security in mountainous areas, especially in water-scarce areas, and from a nutritional point of view, it can also increase the diversity of staple foods for mountain people, which is good for health.
The ignorant are fearless, and the easy-to-understand rice uphill has been distorted and maliciously interpreted, and the technology is denied with the ** of grafting.
First of allRice going up the mountain is not to reclaim the land on the hillside to grow rice, but to use the land that was originally planted with corn to plant rice, and there is no such thing as labor and money, and ecological destruction.
SecondlyAfter long-term technical research, the cost of dry-grown rice in weeding, insect removal, fertilization and other aspects has been greatly reduced, so there is no management difficulty and loss.
FinallyIs there any moisture in the yield of 788 kg per mu? Please note that Academician Zhu is talking about the highest yield per mu, not the average yield per mu, 788 kg is the highest yield per mu at present, and most of the planting areas will definitely not reach this data, because that field is more fertile than other places.
In the rural areas where Academician Zhu squatted, there was a lack of river irrigation, and the rain was not abundant, and the cultivated land was mainly dry land, and the people here had grown and eaten corn for generations. However, Academician Zhu found that the local people prefer to eat rice more than corn, but because there are no rice planting conditions, they can only occasionally buy it in the market.
So, Academician Zhu and his team wondered, can we grow rice on dry land? This is how the Rice Uphill Project began.
After a long and arduous cultivation, the rice dry planting project was finally successful, and the common people who could only eat corn for generations also ate fragrant rice, relying on science and technology and Academician Zhu's dedication.
Academician Zhu summed up this story of science and technology helping agriculture, which everyone liked to see, as "rice goes up the mountain and is very popular with farmers......"To try to share with the majority of netizens, maybe Academician Zhu has dealt with farmers too much, and is used to communicating in easy-to-understand words, and the rice that he blurted out is caught as a handle in this way, and all kinds of explanations that distort the facts follow.
A scientist who has been squatting in the countryside for a long time, tanned as black as a farmer's uncle, won a number of agricultural science awards, the first academician of the agricultural system of Yunnan Province, overcame a number of technical difficulties, and cultivated a number of outstanding agricultural talents, was rumored to be a "brick family".
It is true that dry rice cultivation is not perfect, and there are still areas for improvement, but this is a pioneering research result, which is of great benefit to ensuring China's food security, and is a good technology to solve the problem of feeding the common people.
Academician Zhu also said that people with lofty ideals are welcome to invest in research together, so that rice dry planting can be better and faster popularized, and more people will be benefited. In the end, can dry crops be abundant?
It is worth mentioning that in December 2011, when Zhu Youyong was elected as an academician of the Department of Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Yunnan Agricultural University rewarded him with 2 million yuan, but he donated all the 2 million yuan bonus to set up a scholarship club to reward the school's full-time outstanding undergraduate and graduate students, and encourage the students of the Agricultural University to work hard and be brave in innovation.
Academician Zhu's experience reminds me of another widely acclaimed professor, Zheng Qiang, known as an Internet celebrity professor, compared to Zhu, Zheng's eloquence is much better, he always talks about patriotism, and has captured too many believers on the Internet, and these people even praise him as a contemporary educator.
Professor Zheng has received too many applause and supporters all the time, but is he comparable to Academician Zhu?
I don't think so.
Academician Zhu's feelings of returning to his hometown and his alma mater, Zheng Qiang did not; Academician Zhu's attitude of dedication to scientific research and low-key learning, Zheng Qiang did not; Academician Zhu came from the masses, went to the masses, and served the people's pursuit, and Zheng Qiang did not either.
Zheng Qiang has cheating scandals, variety shows, and Internet celebrity brother Sima Nan.
Zheng Qiang, you might say, is at least patriotic.
Yes, Professor Zheng is patriotic, but his patriotism only stays in his mouth, only reflected in his requirements for others, and his tongue is even about to be engraved with the national emblem.
Academician Zhu never talked about patriotism, but everything he did deeply proved that his patriotism was by no means just words, but deeds.
But the honor and praise are given to Zheng Qiang, and some people even ask Zheng Qiang to become the minister of education, because only Zheng Qiang can save China's education cause.
What's even more sad is that the people who praise Zheng Qiang and the people who sneer at Academician Zhu are actually the same group of people, I hope there is no you among them, please be kind and cherish our respected "Farmer Academician" Zhu Youyong.
He doesn't have so many famous sayings like Zheng Qiang, he only said it".When the people say it's good, it's really good
Internet celebrity professors have rave reviews, and farmer academicians are controversial, which is really a strange thing, and it is a Rakshasa market.
