Yuan Lao's son applied for an agricultural major, and Yuan Lao did a line, don't think about being promoted and making a fortune
At 13:07 on May 22, 2021, we lost a great scientist, Academician Yuan Longping, who passed away at the age of 91. Academician Yuan Longping has contributed to the scientific cause of the motherland all his life, and even at the last moment of his life, he is still concerned about his unfinished dream.
Thankfully, his three sons have carried on his legacy and continued on their agriculture-related paths.
Love farming, focus on scientific research - Yuan Longping's life path Yuan Longping, a young man who is obsessed with agricultural science, after graduating from high school at the age of 18, gave up the key university that his parents wanted him to apply for, and chose Southwest Agricultural College to devote himself to the teaching and scientific research of agriculture.
After graduating, he obeyed the organization's assignment and came to Anjiang Agricultural School, where he began his agricultural research career. One day in 1961, he stumbled upon a tall, large-panicle natural hybrid rice in an experimental field, which sparked his interest in hybrid rice.
He made up his mind to study hybrid rice and cultivate high-yield and stable-yielding grain, so that hundreds of millions of people in China would no longer go hungry. Yuan Longping's persistence and hard work have made him an outstanding agricultural scientist, and his research results have not only solved China's food problems, but also made great contributions to world food production.
He was concentrating on scientific research in the field, and because of the spirit of persistent pursuit, he unexpectedly gained love. Deng was his student, full of respect for Yuan, and Yuan also had a good impression of her, so the school teachers and classmates helped them hold the red line.
There is no luxurious wedding, only when Deng Ze participated in the Anjiang Agricultural School Staff Games (she is an amateur basketball player), Yuan Longping used 50 yuan of candy to hold a simple and simple wedding, which is also very beautiful.
On the third day after marriage, Deng Ze and Yuan Longping devoted themselves to scientific research together, and although their lives were simple, they were full of enthusiasm and pursuit. In 1968, their eldest son Yuan Ding'an was born, and two years later, the second son Yuan Dingjiang also came to this world.
In 1970, the arrival of their youngest son, Yuan Dingyang, added joy and warmth to the family.
Although parents should accompany their children as they grow up, for these three children, meeting their fathers becomes extremely precious. This is because in 1976, Yuan Longping published an article that attracted the attention of his superiors, and in order to allow him to concentrate on the study of hybrid rice, he was transferred to the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
However, his wife, Deng, was not able to transfer with him, which led to their separation for more than 20 years. During this time, most of the time, the three young children were left to rely on their mothers.
Children's impressions of their fathers are often strange and mysterious. They would ask Deng Ze curiously, "Why is my father always not at home?" Deng would reply, "He's busy planting rice!" ”
The children naively thought that their father was a farmer, or even a large family, who contracted large tracts of land.
Nanyou No. 2", this is the pride of the father, he is"The father of hybrid rice", too"Food security guarantors", his great invention"Save World Hunger Award"。
As the years passed, and the honor on their father's head grew, the three sons began to realize that their father, who had little contact with them on a daily basis, was such a great person.
Although they could not see their father often, they found their own direction under his example. Today, Yuan Longping's three sons are also shining in the field of agriculture and contributing their solid strength to the development of the motherland.
In the 1960s, the Yuan family was still very poor, and the eldest son Yuan Dingan was born in such an environment. He was very obedient and sensible since he was a child, and he studied very hard, and after graduating from high school, he became one of the few local students who were admitted to university.
In college, he studied management, and after graduating, he was assigned to work at Hunan Seed Company. The rewritten new copy retains the core ideas of the original copy, namely Yuan Dingan's family background, his personality and learning attitude, and his work experience after graduation.
At the same time, some changes have been made to the sentence structure and expressions to make the copy more fluent and easy to read.
As a well-known local state-owned enterprise, Hunan Seed Company symbolizes stable work and iron job status, but for Yuan Ding'an, life here is too step-by-step, which restricts his pursuit.
Eventually, in 1987, he decided to quit his job as an iron rice bowl and go into business instead. This decision was a huge leap forward because he didn't have any entrepreneurial experience and business background, so he went through a lot of difficulties.
However, whenever he felt overwhelmed, he remembered his father's tenacity in hybrid rice research, which gave him endless strength and made him believe that he could overcome any obstacle as long as he gritted his teeth.
After years of hard work, Yuan Ding'an has successfully developed and expanded Yuan's seed industry into a well-known entrepreneur in the local agricultural field. His company's business scope includes the processing, packaging, wholesale and retail of hybrid rice seeds, as well as the production of hybrid rice seeds and agricultural scientific research and experimental development.
This not only continued his experience in the seed company, but also brought him closer to what his father had been doing all his life. On the afternoon of September 2, 2021, Yuan Ding'an went to visit the Longping Rice Museum.
Yuan Dingan said that he would fully support the Longping Rice Museum to further enrich its collection and deepen the exchanges and cooperation between Yuan's seed industry and the museum. And invited Yuan's seed industry employees to walk into the museum to appreciate the rice culture and experience the farming culture.
Recently, Hunan Agricultural University held a commemorative meeting for the anniversary of the death of Academician Yuan Longping and unveiled the "Longping Building". At the commemorative meeting, Yuan Dingan donated his father's relics to the "Yuan Longping Memorial Hall".
Although his father has passed away, Yuan Dingan still silently does things for his father and continues to innovate in the field of agriculture and business.
Yuan Dingjiang, Yuan Longping's second son, is a real scholar with excellent grades since childhood. He was successfully admitted to Hunan University of Finance and Economics in Changsha in the college entrance examination to study finance.
In 1991, 23-year-old Yuan Dingjiang successfully graduated from Hunan University of Finance and Economics. However, after graduating, he chose an unexpected path - to go south to Zhuhai.
Yuan Dingjiang, a person full of fighting spirit and enterprising spirit. From the local ** accountant to the Zhuhai Municipal Finance Bureau, to the World Bank loan project team, and finally to the secretary of the Zhuhai Municipal People's ** Municipal Government Office, his career has risen all the way.
However, Yuan Dingjiang was not satisfied with this, and in his spare time, he decided to improve his knowledge and vision through the postgraduate entrance examination, and was successfully admitted to Wuhan University to study for EMBA.
After graduating with a master's degree, Yuan Dingjiang did not choose to return to the government unit, but chose to inherit his father's career and continue to carry it forward.
In the A** field, there is a ** named after Yuan Longping, the father of Chinese hybrid rice, - Yuan Longping Agricultural High-tech Co., Ltd., which marks the first time that Chinese scientists have named a listed company after themselves.
Yuan Dingjiang, the son of Yuan Longping, serves as the vice chairman of the company, and unlike his brother Yuan Ding'an's company, Yuan Dingjiang's Longping Technology has used advanced technologies such as the Internet, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence to modernize and intelligentize traditional agriculture.
In September 2022, Hengyang Grain Group and Yuan Dingjiang cooperated on the "Grain Research and Storage Project", and the two sides will jointly build a seed and grain research and storage platform in Hengyang Grain and Oil Science and Technology Industrial Park based on the principle of "resource exchange, integration and innovation, joint efforts to tackle tough problems, and common development", promote agricultural science and technology innovation, and promote the transformation and upgrading of Hengyang grain planting and high-quality economic and social development.
Yuan Dingjiang devoted himself to the construction of agricultural economy and contributed his own strength to the field of smart agriculture of the motherland.
Yuan Dingyang: Yuan Dingyang, the successor of Yuan Longping's "mantle", was born in 1970 and is the youngest son in the family. Unlike the other two elder brothers, Yuan Dingyang has regarded his father as his idol since he was a child.
His happiest thing was to follow his father to the field, because not only were there interesting frogs, loaches, crabs, etc., but he could also see the rice seeds that his father had cultivated, as if by magic, germinating, growing, flowering, springing, and finally becoming white rice in a bowl, which made him feel magical and interesting.
Therefore, working in agriculture like his father is a dream that he has buried deep in his heart since he was a child.
During his studies, Yuan Dingyang kept a low profile, did not take the initiative to mention his relationship with Yuan Longping, and did not want to use his father's reputation to gain advantages. He devoted himself to his studies and achieved excellent results every year.
However, even in high school, he was still full of admiration for his father, but he felt a little strange. He longed to communicate more with his father, but the opportunities were scarce.
Until one day, he unexpectedly received a letter left for him by his father. The letter paper was only half a page, neatly written, and the content was mainly to tell him to pay attention to his health, eat well, and exercise more.
When Yuan Dingyang finished reading this letter, he felt extremely happy and moved.
In 1990, when the college entrance examination was filled in, the dialogue between father and son officially began. Yuan Dingyang expressed his desire for the genetics and breeding major of the Department of Agronomy of Guangxi Agricultural University.
After listening, Yuan Long was serious and went deep into this choice with his son. "It's a tough business," he cautioned, "and don't think about getting promoted or getting rich, can you accept it?" ”
Yuan Dingyang replied without hesitation, "I can", which made Yuan Longping's heart full of relief.
During his university years, Yuan Dingyang successfully served as the leader of the school's scientific research team with redoubled efforts and a solid academic foundation. Under his leadership, the research team completed a number of experiments, which gave him a deeper understanding and insight into rice cultivation.
In 1994, Yuan Dingyang graduated from Guangxi Agricultural University with honors and became an assistant researcher at the Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center, while his father also became his colleague.
At work, he saw that his father was not only hard-working, but also had profound knowledge of agriculture, which made him realize that his knowledge reserve could no longer meet the needs of the latest research, and he was eager to obtain more advanced knowledge.
Therefore, Yuan Dingyang decided to apply for a graduate degree at Hunan Agricultural University to study crop genetics and breeding. In the process, he was exposed to cutting-edge translational research methods, which led to a qualitative leap in his understanding of rice cultivation.
During his graduate studies, Yuan Dingyang accumulated rich experience in the project of combining high-yield gene localization cloning and light efficiency research in rice, and contributed to the development of super rice.
Conducting research with his father has further enhanced his professional knowledge and practical experience. After graduating with a master's degree, Yuan Dingyang was not satisfied with the existing accumulation of knowledge, and he chose to continue his studies for a doctorate.
After two years of postdoctoral training, he joined the Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 2007 and officially began his in-depth research on super rice.
Yuan Dingyang inherited his father's business and devoted himself to the research of new varieties of high-yield transgenic rice with no stage fright. After decades of exploration, he has made a major breakthrough in this field, and led the team to develop a new type of seedling, which has been successfully promoted nationwide.
In May 2019, Yuan Dingyang continued to shine in many positions such as a member of the Academic Committee of the National Hybrid Rice Engineering Technology Research Center, the chief expert of the Super Hybrid Rice Molecular Breeding Innovation Team of the Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and an expert of the expert database of the Hunan Provincial Crop Variety Approval Committee.
With the death of Mr. Yuan Longping, the promotion goal of "seawater rice", a saline-alkali tolerant rice that he had cooperated with his father, may be blocked.
Yuan Dingyang took over his father's dream and led 10 young people in digital agriculture to launch the second phase of the "Yuan Dream Plan" at the Yuan Longping Academician Workstation of the Xing'an League, aiming to plant 200,000 mu of saline-alkali tolerant rice on saline-alkali land during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period to help local rice farmers double their income.
Although Yuan Lao has passed away, his spirit and "Yuan Meng" will continue to be inherited, and Yuan Dingyang and his team will make unremitting efforts to achieve the goal of "high yield, higher yield, and super high yield" on the road of "Yuan Meng".
Epilogue: "By the small river in the wild, the cranberry flowers bloom, let me think about it day and night. At about 9 o'clock in the morning on May 21, 2022, in the Tangren Wanshou Garden in Changsha, Hunan, Academician Yuan Longping's wife and son and their family sang his favorite song in front of Yuan Lao's tomb.
At this moment, the affection is deep and moving. Despite the distance between time and space, the enthusiasm of the Yuan family and the dreams of Yuan Lao still shine brightly. Deng Ze gave everything he had, and Yuan Longping's sons also devoted themselves to agriculture-related careers, working hard to realize Yuan Lao's "Hexia Cool Dream" ......
