Pathetic! At 13:07 on May 22, Yuan Longping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the father of Hybrid Rice in China, died in Changsha at the age of 91 due to multiple organ failure.
Elder Yuan's death is like the fall of a superstar, and this scientist who has let the people of the whole country "hold the rice bowl" is too unbearable.
Next to Furong Road, many Changsha citizens wept and braved the rain to bid farewell to this respectable and lovely elderly man, and everyone shouted in unison: "Grandpa Yuan, go all the way."
The feeling of sadness suddenly struck!
Elder Yuan is the well-deserved national idol of this era.
The news of Yuan Lao's death covered 9 of the 10 hot search lists that night, which shows the public's love and respect for the old man.
The death of Elder Yuan has also set off a wave in the entertainment industry.
In the evening, "Happy Base Camp" was suspended, and the program was adjusted to broadcast the movie "Yuan Longping" to commemorate Elder Yuan.
There are also many stars such as Zhao Wei, Liu Xiaoqing, Wang Yibo, Xiao Zhan, Yang Ying and so on.
Elder Yuan, the true country is unparalleled!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > Zhongxiao failed to have it both</h1> ways
Elder Yuan had two dreams in his life:
One is to cool off under the grass, and the other is to cover the world with hybrid rice.
At that time, after Elder Yuan called himself the "90" of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, his optimism and mind jumped on the paper.
These two dreams of Elder Yuan originated from his turbulent childhood.
Yuan Lao, born in 1930, is catching up with the most dangerous and difficult years in China.
In order to live, the young Yuan Longping traveled from one city to another and fled with his family.
Along the way, he saw too many ordinary people who suffered from hunger and war, and "eating enough" became the deepest memory of Yuan Longping as a child.
In 1949, 19-year-old Yuan Longping was admitted to the Department of Agronomy of Xianghui College in order to study agriculture, which was incorporated into the newly established Southwest Agricultural College after the founding of New China.
However, at that time, Hua Jing, the mother of Elder Yuan, was deeply distressed by her son's insistence on choosing agronomy: Child, you are going to suffer.
Yuan Longping's mother was also a person who had a profound impact on him, this intellectual woman who came from a rich family and received education from the Church of England since childhood, used her extraordinary vision to lay the best enlightenment education for Yuan Longping.
Remember that in July 2018, during the 10th Overseas High-level Talents Symposium and Overseas Academician Qingdao's trip, Yuan Longping surprised the four seats with a 20-minute long English speech technique?
At the age of 87, Yuan Lao, spoke in English for 20 minutes without any pauses or mistakes, and this English foundation was the "foundation" laid by his mother when Yuan was a child.
It is a pity that the mother who gave Yuan Lao's absolute support has also become the biggest regret in his heart. In order to complete the hybrid rice experimental project, Yuan Lao did not even see the last face of his mother, which made Yuan Lao regret it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="80" > beloved wife for 20 years</h1>
After graduating from university, Yuan Lao was arranged to teach at the agricultural school, at that time, Yuan Lao was obsessed with academic research, did not care about the image, and even when he was in class, he would use his sleeve as a blackboard to wipe, and he did not consider personal problems without trimming.
Until one day, he met Deng Ze, a student with a lively and cheerful personality.
Deng likes to sing and dance, but also plays basketball, and in the movie "Yuan Longping", he introduced how the two sparked their love and finally became connected.
What is surprising is that Yuan Was a "straight man" when he was young.
Deng Ze has a good feeling for Teacher Yuan, but the pair's "teacher-student love" does not have any details of campus love, and the two have a total of one month from establishing a relationship to getting married.
Elder Yuan himself recalled that at that time, Deng Ze was playing basketball in the county, and when he was resting, he rode his bicycle with Deng Ze to get a marriage license.
When Deng Ze finished the game, Yuan Longping remembered guiltily that he had never prepared any gifts for the bride.
So he quietly asked Deng Ze, "Is it okay to buy you a new dress?" ”
Deng Ze was naturally embarrassed and quickly refused, "No, no." ”
As a result, Elder Yuan really did not give the bride any gifts.
At that time, Deng Ze was 26 years old and Yuan Longping was 34 years old.
Movie "Yuan Longping"
At that time, Elder Yuan held a wedding in his single dormitory, and everyone was lively, which could be described as simple.
The two did not take wedding photos, and this photo of the wedding dress was taken after the two were married for many years.
At that time, the two were not young, but they were still as sweet and loving as a newlywed couple.
After marriage, Yuan Longping plunged into his own rice business, running between the test field and the laboratory for many years, and Deng ze also appreciated her husband who worked selflessly, and often helped.
Even, in the most difficult period of time, Yuan Longping was forced to live in a "cowshed", in order not to drag Deng Ze, Yuan Lao also proposed to break up.
But Deng said indifferently, "It's okay, it's a big deal to live in a cowshed together, and you can continue to study your hybrid rice." ”
In terms of married life, Yuan Lao is indebted to his wife.
For 20 years after marriage, Yuan Longping and Deng Ze were in a state of "separation".
Elder Yuan was busy with rice, while Deng took care of the elderly and children in the family.
Serving her in-laws from serious illness to death, she was alone in silent.
The two have not even spent the Spring Festival together for 7 years, Yuan Longping does not say anything, but he is grateful for his wife's silent efforts.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="95" > Yuan Lao, "transformed" for love</h1>
Yuan Longping knows that he owes his wife, so every time he goes out, as long as he has the opportunity, he will bring gifts to Deng Ze, and gradually changed from a "straight man" style to a delicate warm man.
On a business trip, Yuan Longping will choose a skirt for Deng Ze, and when he doesn't know the size, he will buy two pieces at once and send them back together, with the inscription "Which is suitable to wear which." ”
Worried about his wife's gas poisoning during the bath, Yuan Longping would call Deng Ze's name every two minutes, and he was relieved to hear his wife reply.
Yuan Lao himself was reluctant to buy valuable items, and even the summer shirt was bought at a supermarket for 35 yuan, and the only "valuable" item on his body was the Casio watch, which was about two hundred yuan.
Who would have thought that such a low-key old man would be a famous scientist who feeds 22% of the world's population.
Elder Yuan, who slammed the door on himself, always did his best to "please" his wife and expressed his love in the way of "buying, buying and buying".
But almost all of the things Yuan Lao bought were "cheap" goods, and he didn't even know what a brand was.
Yuan Lao's granddaughter revealed that Yuan Lao, when she once took her grandmother to Hong Kong, wanted to buy her a watch, and as a result, she entered a very expensive watch shop, saw the price and was frightened to withdraw, and quickly said "I don't buy a watch", and silently peeled a hawthorn for his wife to make up for it.
Unpretentious as usual, this is the most touching part of the couple.
One year, Deng Ze suffered from acute encephalitis coma and was hospitalized, Yuan Longping hurriedly put down all his work, accompanied his wife, read to him, and called affectionately over and over again in front of the bed, and finally exchanged his wife's health as before.
On Yuan Longping's 90th birthday, the staff pushed a three-tier large cake, and Yuan Lao, in front of everyone, sent the first bite of the cake to his wife's mouth, which sprinkled dog food, which was absolutely top-notch.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="103" > "Terrier King" Yuan Longping</h1>
Elder Yuan is actually literary and warm, even as a scientific worker, but Elder Yuan has never been "rigid".
He plays the violin and writes poems, and the love poems he writes for his wife make people envy the couple's deep love.
"A man is like a grain of dust, no matter how he flies, no matter how noisy he is, at the end of the day, he still falls to his own land; a husband, like a leaf, no matter how flaunted he is, how he turns from green to red and yellow, and at the end of the day, he still has to fall to his wife."
Simple words, but full of affection.
In addition to affection, Elder Yuan is also a "Terrier King". Elder Yuan once had a classic quote, he described himself as "people are afraid of famous pigs afraid of strong".
Fame and fortune in The view of Elder Yuan is just a burden in life, and the excessive attention of others will bring inexplicable troubles to themselves.
A teacher once wrote a comment to The young Yuan Lao, "Love freedom, specialty is loose", and this evaluation yuan lao is very agreeable.
He said that he just loved "free and loose", and he even joked that he didn't punch in at work and loved to eat small snacks.
Holding coconuts to drink, eating small foods that young people like, etc., these small "problems" have made Yuan Lao's teeth all "sacrificed".
But Elder Yuan still "goes his own way" and adheres to these small hobbies that are not painful or itchy.
In addition, Yuan Lao also has a variety of "grounded" "habits", playing chess, playing mahjong, these things that seem to be completely unrelated to the image of scientists, in Yuan Lao, this is almost every day.
Elder Yuan also bluntly said in front of reporters that those senior cadres who retired from retirement did not play cards, did not play mahjong, did not sing or play ball, did not do anything and did not have any hobbies, and the result became Senile dementia.
Worthy of being standing in the position of "top stream" Yuan Lao, in others, perhaps these words will be regarded as "negative" examples, but they can be said from Yuan Lao's mouth, so cute and likeable.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="109" ends ></h1>
Yuan Lao's net worth is not worse than any rich man, the brand of "Yuan Longping" alone is worth hundreds of billions, but he only wears 35 pieces of clothes, and more than a hundred clothes are already very satisfied.
Once in an interview with "Face to Face", the reporter asked him, what do you keep so much money for?
Elder Yuan asked: What do you want so much money for?
In fact, Yuan Longping's annual income is much less than imagined, and it is more than 300,000 yuan per year, which is similar to that of white-collar workers.
And Elder Yuan's rhetorical question has already raised Elder Yuan's realm to the position of the ceiling.
A scientist who can exchange his scientific research results for countless sums of money has not been replaced, and even in his old age he still lives in a house that is not spacious and old.
What does he figure out? Nature is a state of life, a height of life that mortals cannot reach.
This is the demeanor of everyone in the country, and it is the best candidate for the national idol.
May Elder Yuan go all the way!
You live forever in our hearts!
