"While crying and watching the news of Elder Yuan, I felt uncomfortable all night, and I bought flowers early this morning to see Grandpa Yuan's alma mater." At 9:00 a.m. on May 23, the light rain poured down, and the statue of Yuan Longping of Wuhan No. 4 Middle School was filled with flowers, and teachers, students, alumni and citizens who spontaneously came to mourn were endless. Some people took out the written poems and read them softly to Elder Yuan; some people gently dried the tears in the corners of their eyes and looked at Elder Yuan's sculptures silently; and some students walked into the History Museum of the Fourth Middle School again, sat in front of the desk where Yuan Longping had read, and gently touched the corner of the table to trace the traces of the deceased's past studies.
Class of 1959 alumnus Gong Mingxiang:
"I have seen people hungry, and I know more about the greatness of Yuan Longping"
"High yield, high yield, super high yield / fulfill the dream, promising, responsible / national medal, the chairman personally awarded, the people of the country admire / walk west well, the grass will be able to cool off." Mr. Gong Mingxiang, a 78-year-old alumnus of Wuhan No. 4 Middle School in 1959, went out at 7 a.m. and took a bus for half an hour to his alma mater. He stood in front of the statue of Academician Yuan Longping and recited with deep affection a poem he had filled in, "Hundred Character Order". "I was particularly touched when I saw the news yesterday, and I spent more than an hour at night filling out this poem to express my sadness." Gong Mingxiang said.
According to Mr. Gong Lao, after graduating from university, he taught at Xicaodian Middle School in Xicaodian Commune, Chenxiang District, Yingshan County, Guangshui City for two years. "It's a rural middle school converted from a ruined temple, and the conditions are very limited, and the children are very happy to eat two meals a day." Mr. Gong recalled that at that time, people often washed wild vegetables such as crushed rice and carrot leaves, chopped and boiled to eat, which was a "life-saving dish" for the poor to fill their stomachs, "At that time, the average yield of rice per mu was only 270 to 280 kilograms, and we all relied on sweet potatoes and radishes to replace grain as staple food. At that time, it was a fantasy to rely on rice to eat! ”
It is precisely because he has been hungry and has seen others suffer from hunger, so after learning that Yuan Longping devoted all his body and soul to cultivating hybrid rice and solving the problem of Chinese eating, Mr. Gong Lao's heart was full of admiration: "He is so great, as an alumnus I feel extremely proud." So be sure to send him today and dedicate this poem I wrote to him. ”
Class of 2011 Alumnus Li Jiawen:
"Because of my relationship with Yuan Lao, I became a science teacher"
"Elder Yuan, I have come to see you, and you have gone all the way!" A girl with tears in her eyes and a white chrysanthemum in her hand bowed deeply in front of the statue of Yuan Longping. After saying a word, only the unstoppable sobs remained. Her name is Li Jiawen, and she graduated from Wuhan No. 4 Middle School in 2014.
"I had a relationship with Grandpa Yuan on the side of the runway of the venue when I was celebrating the 110th anniversary of my alma mater." Li Jiawen recalled that although the somewhat "emaciated" old man walked slowly, he had a loving face, and he greeted his classmates around him as he walked. "In the impression, although Grandpa Yuan is full of glory, he is particularly modest and approachable, and I feel that this is what a people's scientist should look like." Li Jiawen said.
The fate of the second year of junior high school has become a booster for Li Jiawen's growth. "Later, I developed a strong interest in biological sciences, and when I encountered difficulties in studying the subject, I used Elder Yuan's experience to encourage myself." After the college entrance examination, Li Jiawen was successfully admitted to the School of Biological Sciences of Northwest Normal University, "When she first entered the school, she was admitted to the geography major, because she liked biology and the yearning for idol Yuan Longping's grandfather, so she changed majors halfway, and the research content of the graduation thesis was also related to wheat." ”
After graduating with a master's degree, Li Jiawen returned to Wuhan to become a science teacher at Yucai Primary School. She said: "I hope that I can also influence my students like my idol Yuan Longping influenced me, so that they love science and are determined to contribute to the construction of the country in the future." ”
Class of 2019:
"Learning and exercising is not wrong, and we must also serve the country scientifically in the third year of high school"
"Kyushu Land Harvest Festival, the sound of the field ridge road is dusty." Sound and dust, unforgettable to the world, the work of all generations. On the morning of the 23rd, more than a dozen students of the 7th class of Wuhan No. 4 Middle School spontaneously gathered to go to the school history hall and the statue of Yuan Longping to commemorate the memorial. Hu Xinjie also brought a small poem written the day before. "Last night, during dinner, the tears couldn't stop falling. Looking at the rice in the bowl, I thought about how much Grandpa Yuan had made, it was he who made us Chinese no longer hungry, and I wanted to use this poem to express my admiration for him. Hu Xinjie said.
Accompanied by Chinese teacher Huang Qian, the class once again walked into the school history museum to relive the youth of the "father of hybrid rice" in Wuhan, and took a humanistic class on ideals and struggles that was different from the past. Liu Zhengyang said affectionately in front of the statue of Yuan Longping: "Grandpa Yuan Longping, when you were 80 years old, you said that you were a 50-year-old body and a 30-year-old mentality. As a senior in high school, I want to learn from you, learn from you to study seriously in class, and enrich your mind with knowledge. Usually, I also exercise more to strengthen my body. In this way, we can make greater contributions to the country in the future. ”
Wang Jinxia, vice president of the school, introduced that in recent years, Wuhan No. 4 Middle School has had close contacts with Academician Yuan Longping, and the representatives of teachers and students of the school will go to Hunan every year to comfort Elder Yuan, who has also been paying attention to the development of his alma mater and has written inscriptions for his alma mater many times. In the future, teachers and students will uphold the school motto, keep in mind the teachings of Yuan Longping, treat science rigorously and seriously, and constantly pursue the truth and have the courage to innovate.
