Yong scientist Wang Jianyu is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, optoelectronic technology experts, 10-year-old Haishu Central Primary School student Yan Xiuwen is most impressed by this academician uncle is that in the winter, he has to carry heavy luggage and walk 20 or 30 miles to Yuyao to go to school, "I also want to become a scientist." In my heart, Uncle Wang is my role model and the goal of my efforts. ”
Along with the letters, there were also gifts unique to my hometown. Tiger head handicrafts, Ningbo landscape porcelain plates, hometown old photos..." The children's carefully prepared gifts not only hope that academicians can see things and miss their hometowns, but also want them to feel that their hometown has never forgotten them." Shi Ying, secretary general of the Ningbo Science and Technology Association, said.
Xu Zhilei, a 92-year-old academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and an expert in weapons engineering, quickly replied after receiving the children's letters. "I hope you broaden your horizons and learn more from an early age." He encouraged the children in his hometown to cherish the current learning conditions and living conditions, and to be grateful to the motherland, school teachers and parents. "The next time I come to Ningbo, I will come to see you at your school." The old man's simple and sincere words inspired the children.
Chen Jianping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and an expert in plant pathology, told the story of three astronauts in the Crew of the Shenzhou XII manned spacecraft, Yang Qian, the Tokyo Olympic champion, and Chen Zifang, a rural boy with a disability, and discussed the topic of "success" with the students in his hometown.
Chen Jianping said that he told these three stories to his descendants because he wanted everyone to see: success is not defined by the outside world, but by the standard of his own heart; success is not a shining moment, but a lone light in the long years behind it; success is not a good point, but a life of their own as a whole to plan.
"Life is very long, I hope you learn to use a positive but open-minded and optimistic attitude to understand success, the meaning and value of life." 」 This sentence tells the significance of Yongnian scientists replying to their hometown students, and it is also the growth experience and scientific spirit of generations of scientists to pass on to the "Z generation".
