The college entrance examination volunteers, and the classmates invariably stay away from the colleges and universities with "agriculture". The homeroom teacher is very puzzled, and did not let you carry the hoe to the ground, as for?
How could it not be? At that time, we all thought that the last university with the word "agriculture" was simply dirty, too fashionable, and when I talked to others, there was a smell of earth.
Unexpectedly, reading Mr. Yuan Longping's old mr. Yuan Longping's smokey past, I actually read an alternative student who did not listen to his parents' advice and insisted on learning agriculture...
01
Yuan Longping was born on September 7, 1930 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The person who delivered the baby for him was Dr. Lin Qiaozhi. That's right, it is Dr. Lin, who is known as the mother of all babies.
At this time, is it a little dizzy, can't help but suspect that Yuan Longping actually intersected with Lin Qiaozhi, is this true? Yes, it is not made up, there is evidence to offer.
In the archives of Xiehe Hospital, the relevant situation of Yuan Longping's birth is recorded——
At that time, Yuan Longping, who did not have a big name, filled in the Yuan child, the child of the Yuan family; the family lived in the Chang'an Apartment on the old Punishment Department Street in Xicheng, originally from De'an, Jiangxi, yo, Master Yuan and the famous director Li An, or the same village, and it was another unexpected; there were footprints left by Yuan's child when he was born, and the English signature of the obstetrician and gynecologist who delivered the baby: Qiaozhi Lin,—— Lin Qiaozhi.
To this end, Yuan Longping explained: My hometown is from Jiangxi, and I was born in Beiping, so I named it "Longping". At that time, Hua Xiulin, the head nurse of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, was my aunt. Near the water tower platform first got the moon, it was so.
Yuan Longping's grandfather, the daimyo Yuan Shengjian, was once a juju, which was the Kochi of that era. After the Xinhai Revolution, Yuan Shengjian was recommended by his fellow villagers to be the secretary general of the county government. It can be seen that the Yuan family is also a scholarly family.
Yuan Longping's father, Yuan Xinglie, was born in 1905 and graduated from Nanjing Southeast University and served as the principal and supervisor of a higher primary school in De'an County. Later, he was honored by the patriotic general Sun Lianzhong and served as his secretary.
Deliberately Baidu, Sun Lianzhong, is Feng Yuxiang's subordinate, during the War of Resistance, because of the adherence to Taierzhuang and famous at home and abroad.
At the end of 1947, Yuan's father was transferred to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee of the National Government in Nanjing, where he served as the chief of the affairs section.
Yuan Longping's mother, Hua Jing, was born in 1902, the same age as Dr. Lin Qiaozhi. In his early years, he studied at the Zhenjiang Church School in Jiangsu Province. The emphasis on English-speaking churches is one of the characteristics of church schools. Therefore, Mom's English is particularly good.
After graduation, Hua Jing went to a primary school in Wuhu to work as an English teacher. It was there that she met Yuan's father, and the two knew and fell in love with each other, and a lover eventually became a family member.
When he was a child, Yuan Longping was enlightened by his mother and followed her to read English. Later, when I went to school, Yuan Longping's English was never reviewed, and he could close his eyes and get high scores, which was really the credit of his mother.

In 1949, I applied for a university to fill in the major, and my father and mother suggested that it was a good choice to study science and engineering, or to study medicine. But Yuan Longping insisted on choosing to learn to farm, which made his father and mother very unhappy.
My mother believes that it is very hard to learn to be a farmer, and in the future, she will have to run around in the field, that is, to be a full farmer. But Yuan Longping was nine cows who couldn't pull back, so stubborn. In 1949, he was admitted to Southwest Agricultural College, which is now Southwest University, with honors.
Why, exactly? It turned out that in 1936, Yuan Longping, who was still in the first grade of primary school, was led by a teacher and participated in the gardening field with his classmates.
Only to see all kinds of flowers, colorful, like a carpet flat on the ground, suddenly Xiao Longping was stunned, how can there be such a beautiful scenery, is this a paradise?
Yuan Longping remembered the Chaplin movie "Modern Times" he had watched, and outside the window of the camera, there were fruits everywhere that could be picked at hand, and he wanted to drink milk, and the cow came over to take a cup...
The impressions of the two are superimposed, and the beauty of the countryside and the joy of agronomy occupy the young mind of Yuan Children, especially yearning.
It was not until 1952, when Yuan Longping, who was still in college, came to the farmer's home for the first time that he broke the illusion in his heart and saw with his own eyes how bitter the farmers were. This visit also made Yuan Longping more determined to learn to be a farmer.
In 1953, Yuan Longping was assigned to teach at the Anjiang Agricultural School in Huaihua, Hunan. From Chongqing, the famous capital of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, to Huaihua, a small county with a high mountain and a long road, this span really worries my mother.
The old mother accompanied Yuan Longping, her face was attached to the map, and her fingers followed the dense thin lines, looking for a long time, only to find this small dot on the map.
The old mother sighed, shook her head and said painfully, "Child, when you get there, you have to suffer hardships..."
Yuan Longping knew that there were tigers in the mountains, preferring to go to the tiger mountains, and the good boy was determined to be in all directions, in order to comfort his mother, he held up the violin: "I am young, I still have it..."
In this way, Yuan Longping began his teaching career at Anjiang Agricultural School.

At Anjiang Agricultural School, Yuan Longping met his other half, Deng Zhe. To make a long story short, Deng Zhe was still a student of Yuan Longping.
The two married in 1964, Yuan Longping was 34 years old and Deng Zhe was 26 years old. During college, Yuan Longping had a beautiful relationship, but the past should not be mentioned again, life has been stormy, and the two eventually have no point.
In 1966, when the Cultural Revolution came, Yuan Longping told his wife Deng Zhe that I would probably be criticized for fighting, what do you do?
Without the slightest hesitation, Deng Zhe said firmly: "It's a big deal that we should be farmers together!" ”
Many years later, Yuan Longping sighed that the greatest happiness in my life was that when no one else would marry me, Deng Zhe did not hesitate to agree to my marriage proposal. She was always with me during the most difficult times of my life.

After marriage, the Yuan couple had three sons, the eldest son Yuan Ding'an, the second son Yuan Dingjiang, and the third son Yuan Dingyang.
In fact, only one of these three sons belongs to him. The eldest Ding'an, who has lived in Chongqing for many years, was brought up by his grandmother and belonged to his grandmother.
Old San Dingyang, who grew up with his grandmother, belonged to his grandmother.
Only the second older Dingjiang, at the age of five, followed his father to Hainan and Guangxi on business trips, and spent some time together day and night. Therefore, everyone said that only the second eldest was his father's.
There are children who are full of everything, but Yuan Longping is always a little unwilling, he joked: "My children are a single breed, all males, how good it is to have a girl!" ”
Of course, in this life, Yuan Longping's wish to be a grandfather was shattered. But in the third generation, he really had two cute little granddaughters.
The eldest granddaughter, the daimyo Yuan Youqing, because it has been raining non-stop before birth, and on the day of birth, the rain has passed.
The second granddaughter, born on February 18, 2005, coincided with the "Rain Festival" of the lunar calendar, so she named her "Yuan Youqing".
There is a clear and a clear, in the view of Grandpa Yuan Longping, not only is it called smooth, but also there is a clear and clear, the sun is the sun, the clear is the rain, there is the sun and the rain, and everything will naturally thrive.
Someone once said that Yuan Longping is a seed that changed the world, and the growth of seeds needs to have sunlight and rain... From his name for his two granddaughters, we can see his deep meaning and persistence.
Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, is known as the "contemporary Shennong", and it is he who feeds the Chinese people. On May 22, 2021, we bid him farewell.
The hero is great, for the country and the people, talk about his smokey past, let us often remember this Chinese backbone...
