Xu Min sent a set of photos yesterday to commemorate his grandfather Xu Chuanzhen and Yuan Gong.
Xu Min's "Xu Chuanzhen" is a wooden character zhen, and now the literature on the Internet is mostly "Zhen", but from the perspective of personal experience and contribution, it should be a person.
Because of the relationship between literature, the following will take "Zhen" as "quasi" and briefly introduce "Xu Chuanzhen".
Xu Chuanzhen, a native of Jiujiang, Jiangxi, is a member of the Chinese Peasants' and Workers' Democratic Party.
He graduated from the College of Agriculture of Nanjing Central University in 1933 and stayed on as a teaching assistant in the same year.
From December 1934 to January 1947, he worked in Jiangxi Provincial Academy of Agriculture and College of Agriculture of Jiangxi Zhongzheng University.
After February 1947, he served as a professor and farm director in Hubei Agricultural College.
After the liberation of Wuhan in May 1949, he became the head of the Department of Agronomy.
In 1952, Hubei Agricultural College was changed to Huazhong Agricultural College.
During his work at the Jiangxi Provincial Academy of Agriculture, Professor Xu Chuanzhen began to cultivate excellent varieties of early rice, of which the early rice "Nantes" expanded to about 60 million mu after 1949, which is an excellent variety with good regional adaptability.
Since then, he has completed more than ten special reports in the experimental research direction of double-cropping rice cultivation, and in the 1980s, he still presided over the key topic "Research on rice growth and development theory and regulatory control technology".
The Nantes are indica-type conventional rice, which was promoted nationwide in 1947 on 400,000 mu. It is widely used in early rice planting in southern rice areas, and its main characteristics are wide adaptability, high yield, and disease resistance, but the cold tolerance at the seedling stage is poor.
According to the article "The Scientific Development of Rice Breeding in Modern China and the Research of Major Rice Breeding Scientists", modern rice science in China originated at the end of the 19th century and lasted about a century in the 21st century, during which the main force was concentrated on rice breeding.
Mr. Xian Jinshan divided modern rice breeding into four periods, the gestation period (from the end of the 19th century to 1919), the founding period (1919 to 1925), the foundation period (1925 to 1933), and the development period (1933 to 1949). ）
Xu Chuanzhen is an important representative of the development period of modern rice breeding.
In the above-mentioned literature, it is written that The Nanchang Agricultural Experimental Field, Ye Changfeng (mentor Zhao Lianfang) and Xu Chuanzhen (mentor Zhao Lianfang) of the Jiangxi Agricultural Institute bred the "Nante", and in 1948 the promotion area reached 1 million mu, which is the largest promotion area of fine rice in modern China.
Yuan Longping was born in Beijing in 1930, but he is a native of Jiujiang, Jiangxi, graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953, and spent most of his time working in Anjiang, Hunan.
Judging from Yuan Longping's work experience on Baidu, the intersection of him and Xu Chuanzhen In 1965, Yuan Longping inspected 6 sterile plants in nante, early japonica no. 4, shengli indica and other varieties in the rice fields near Anjiang Agricultural School, and published his first paper "Male Infertility of Rice" through his career.
However, because they are both experts in rice research, the two of them should have had "exchanges" in thought and work.
In fact, whether it is Xu Min or Xu Min's brother, they are on this special day, and it coincides with this special event, and the photos sent out will cause heated discussion.
However, neither Xu Chuanzhen nor Xu Chuanzhen has anything to do with the pursuit of the truth and the direction of future cases, nor will it have any promotion effect.
So what the theory of descent, the theory of heredity, the theory of looks, the theory of knowledge, whether it is a well-intentioned praise, or a malicious criticism, has no meaning for this matter.
I believe that Xu Min will not recognize his grandfather indiscriminately, so that his father and living mother will not agree.
We should pay tribute to the older generation of scientists and intellectuals who have contributed to the country and the people, as well as to the broad masses of workers, peasants and other strata, including everyone's parents.
We can't eat without them, and we can't live without them.
As for the "wrong change" or "stealing change" that is still under discussion, the mystery that has not yet been solved will not bother these older generations!
