@Joker who loves to eat oranges: For a moment, I only feel a pain in my chest, as if I have been ripped off my heart, as if all the words in this world cannot break through my full of coldness. I should have said something, but I didn't know how to say it, and only salty tears swirled in my eyes.
@Come on Alyo: When I heard the news at noon today, my heart giggled a little, and then I knew that it was fake news before I ate my meal. Now I have to believe it's true, all the way!
@Xiaodu-Pony Angelia: Blessings bless all people, and the heart is always alive. Three meals a day, the aroma of rice is pervasive, and the full-eater should often remember Yuan Gong. "Grandpa should live as a god, driving his little car through the fields every day, whether he is a hundred years or two hundred years, and keeping his field with his kittens!"
@Peony who wants to eat ice cream: I can't believe it, I can't forget the news that he learned that he was going to collect the prize and was happy like a child. At that time, I silently thought in my heart: You are worthy of Grandpa Yuan Longping! Your contribution to China to the world deserves our respect and honor.
@Yu Fish: I seem to have a relationship with him, in textbooks, at the dinner table, in the world, and you will always be in our hearts!
@ Aunt Xiong who can look at the face: I have not eased the earthquake in Qinghai and Yunnan last night, and today there is bad news. I remember my grandfather told me that Grandpa Yuan is our savior, let us eat enough to work, live and work in peace, Grandpa Yuan you will live very happily in heaven!
@ Amiable Demon Fat: Elder Yuan is like a grandfather, often concerned about whether you have enough to eat... He's gone today and I'm sad.
@Li Zhiqi seven: Heartache, like losing a loved one. A lifetime is not for fame and fortune, only for the people of China and the world to eat. We must not waste food, because it is not easy to come by.
@PrimaryKey_Z: After brushing Weibo at noon, I went downstairs to buy a meal. Holding the cat that was adopted home two days ago, I ate the whole bowl of rice, and when I picked up the phone again, I found... My cat doesn't have a name yet, so let's call it "rice"!
@ 10:05: You go well, I will eat well and not waste a grain of rice!
@ Xiaolu _ouni: When I was a child, I also experienced when I didn't have enough to eat, and I heard the live reporter say that Yuan Lao was very peaceful when he walked, just like asleep, the corners of his mouth were still smiling, thank you Grandpa, you went all the way!
@ Is Iris ah: I hope grandpa in the sky can also drive a car in the field every day to enjoy hehehe, raise a kitten, look at the world and look at his field!
"We're going to put the torch down,
Pick up the burden."
@嫄兮: Today, the double star fell! I used to think that as long as they lived, they didn't even need to do anything, we would always have the confidence, and they were there anyway. But now that they're tired, we're going to put the torch down and pick up the burden. When it's time to meet them, we can also look up and say, "We have lived up, we have inherited the Light." ”
@Sad de Hip Hop Tomato: This month, I planted rice, cultivated wheat, and recently in the rooting of broad beans, I felt for the first time that it is not easy to grow grain. I also deeply reflected on the responsibilities that should be assumed as a young student of agriculture. Greetings to Elder Yuan!
@Sauerkraut Fish is really good: his contribution is not only in China, but also in the world. His contributions are not only in the past, but also in the present, but also in the future.
@Phi Phi Picka Tsau: It is our honor that the grandfather in the textbook, your contemporaries, is our honor. I hope that contemporary people will tell the story of Elder Yuan well, so that our children and grandchildren will know and remember our heroes.
Today, there is an old man who "cools down under the grass"
Fell asleep under the grass
Rest assured, your dream, we continue to chase!
