Academician Yuan Longping will always be a monument in our hearts。
Yuan Longping, an old man who has made great contributions to the Chinese people to put the rice bowl firmly in their hands, has gone, and the whole country is sad!
On the afternoon of May 22nd，Longping High Technology was founded by Academician Yuan Longping，Released a wechat public account Twitter: "Medal of the Republic" winner, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Yuan Longping Agricultural High-tech Co., LTD. Honorary chairman Yuan Longping，Due to multiple organ failure，He died in Changsha at 13:07 on May 22, 2021，He was 91.。The tweet was accompanied by a terse summary of Yuan Longping's lifetime contributions。
Looking into Longping High-tech's mission in the construction of China's biotechnology system, the third generation of super rice and other major scientific and technological innovation, behind the short tweets of several hundred words, there is a strong emotional restraint, and a force of passing on the torch。
In April this year, the "Road of Faith" search group of Jiefang Daily and Shangguan News went to Hainan Free Trade Port and visited Longping Biotechnology (Hainan) Co., LTD., a branch of Longping High-tech, in Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City, and met Lv Yuping, the general manager and leader of the research and development team。
The corn biochip he and his team are working on can increase corn production from three seasons a year to all year round - another major leap to enrich the Chinese "rice bowl.。
Knowing the news of Academician Yuan Longping's death, we connected Lv Yuping in Sanya。
Longping Biological Laboratory
Ceaseless struggle, ceaseless innovation
Lu Yuping and Yuan Longping had two close contacts and conversations。The first time was exactly 10 years ago, in 2011, Lu Yaping traveled from Beijing to Changsha to visit Yuan Longping and meet the famous "father of hybrid rice" at the Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center.。
"At that time, Yuan told me as soon as he came up that he was a 'post-80s', because he was more than 80 years old at that time。”
Yuan Longping talkative let Lv Yuping instant no sense of distance。The two men sat on the sofa in Yuan Longping's office, and Lu Yuping began to listen to Yuan Longping talk about his "more than half a lifetime" of rice hybridization and breeding。Including how to find the earliest method, and how to cooperate with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Science and Technology to promote the rice hybrid breeding work across the country。
What impressed Lu Yuping was Yuan Longping's office at the time。"It was very simple, or very simple, just a very ordinary desk, a sofa, two small stools, and some rice samples next to it.。Yuan Longping excitedly introduced his own rice varieties to the later scientist。On the other side of the office, there are many important awards and honors that Yuan Longping has won。"The office is not big, 20 square meters at most, very simple。”
The last time Lu Yuping met Yuan Longping was at a conference in 2016。"Yuan was very talkative and looked very good, and he also took the initiative to mention that he was doing conventional rice breeding, and I was doing high-tech biotechnology.。”
To Lu Yuping's surprise, Yuan Longping was very concerned about his young scientific researcher's corn transgenic technology, and said that insect pests are very harmful to plants, and the loss caused to corn every year needs biotechnology to solve, otherwise a lot of pesticides will be used, so the development of this technology is particularly important。"We are very encouraged that Mr. Yuan is very supportive of anti-pest biotechnology。”
In 1999, in order to further develop the hybrid rice business, Yuan Longping promoted the establishment of Longping High-tech as one of the main founding sponsors。On October 10, 2020, Longping Biological officially entered Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City。"Old Yuan is very happy to know, a special inscription, written is' Zhulongping biology, struggle, innovation, Yuan Longping, 2020 Mid-Autumn Festival。’”
It now hangs in front of Longping Biology's lab。Before entering the laboratory, every passing person will be attracted by the inscription。
This is also Yuan Longping's expectation for the younger generation of researchers。"I dare not say now that our achievements have reached Mr. Yuan's expectations of us, but at this moment all of us here to take root, entrepreneurship, engaged in south fan technology, now is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go.。"Lu Yuping said。
"I will never see Mr. Yuan again."
Previous media reports, Yuan Longping health care doctor revealed that on March 10 this year, Yuan Longping had a fall in the Sanya hybrid rice research base, causing discomfort after hospitalization, April 7 transferred to Changsha for hospital treatment。
Ms. Lu was in her office in Sanya on May 22 when she learned of Mr. Yuan's death。He told reporters that after seeing the news about Academician Yuan Longping on the Internet in the morning, he immediately checked with the Changsha side, and the other side replied that Academician Yuan has been hospitalized and is being rescued。
To his surprise, just a few hours later, at 1 p.m., he received another message from Changsha。"Mr. Yuan left at 1:07 this afternoon。In the phone with the reporter recalled a few hours ago, the mood has experienced big ups and downs, the phone that Lu Yuping's voice began to choke。
At Longping's lab in Sanya, young researchers make up half the room。When Lu Yuping came to the laboratory downstairs after receiving the news, the researchers who have learned the news seem to have a tacit understanding, everyone is more silent than in the past。
"We see each other, without saying anything, but we can see in the eyes, everyone's eyes are wet.。”
Lu Yuping admitted to reporters that the first time he received the news, "tears fell down.。In a slight gulp, he slowed down a little。"Mr. Yuan is a real and vivid leader in the eyes of all our scientific research workers, especially those engaged in biological breeding, and he is really a hero in our minds and a role model to learn from.。”
"Originally, if we want to see Mr. Yuan, we can always see him, but today Mr. Yuan has left, which is a very, very sad thing in everyone's heart, and we will never see Mr. Yuan again.。”
Longping biology is located in Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City
A monument to the heart
What is the spirit of scientists, and is there any successor to the spirit of the older generation of scientists？These questions have been lingering in people's minds for a long time, in the new generation of researchers, may have the answer。
Although it was Saturday, on May 22, Lv Yuping was not the only one working overtime in the company。In the laboratory of Science and Technology City, in the planting base of Yazhouwan Gaodi Village, the researchers are in a race against time, braving temperatures as high as 35 or 36 degrees Celsius。
Lv Yuping told reporters，For everyone in the company，No one has the concept of a "two-day weekend" : so much corn in the field，And the temperature is so high，Water every 2-3 days;High temperatures mean that diseases and pests are particularly serious，Always pay attention to pest prevention;To complete experimental investigations and collect experimental evidence..."These will not give up just because of the rest day, because the temperature is particularly high today.。”
"Work waits for no one, time waits for no one," is engaged in agricultural breeding, or all scientific researchers have a common understanding。"No matter the environment, no matter the high temperature, no matter the rain, our work must be completed, and everyone is very conscious to do it, which is the most basic quality of scientific and technological workers.。”
A tweet from Longping High-tech describes Yuan's life this way:
Academician Yuan Longping devoted his life to the research, application and popularization of hybrid rice technology，He devoted his whole life to the development of hybrid rice，At the last moment of his life, he was still organizing and promoting the high-yield technology of hybrid rice，He has made immortal contributions to the development of hybrid rice，It has made outstanding contributions to the continuous increase and security of China's grain production and the development of world agricultural science and technology。
When the reporter asked what technical difficulties there are to overcome in the next Longping biology, Lv Yuping told the reporter very frankly that to do the technical research of corn resistance to high temperature and drought, "but this is really very difficult.。Science needs technical support, and science needs spiritual guidance。Lu Yuping and his team are guided by the spirit of the older generation of scientists such as Yuan Longping, leading contemporary researchers to bring China's corn technology, biotechnology, and biochip research and development to the international advanced level。
"We want to let Mr. Yuan rest assured that our young generation will be diligent and conscientious for the country's science and technology research, and even sweat it out, step by step.。Because academician Yuan Longping will always be a monument in our hearts。”
