Yuan Longping: You must live in inner happiness

Yuan Longping: You have to live in inner happiness

Yuan Laozu .

Suddenly there was a space in my heart.

The loss of an elderly patron brings with it worries about the future.

Most people’s impression of Mr. Yuan is that he stands in the fields with a cheerful smile on his face.

I feel that the old man is just like a farmer, simple, honest and clear-hearted. Just like the old father working in the fields of his hometown, whenever you think of him, your heart will calm down.

However, in fact, Mr. Yuan is a child of aristocratic family.

My father is an army officer, and my mother is a talented girl from the south of the Yangtze River. She is exquisite and translucent.

Born in Peking.

The famous doctor Lin Qiaozhi delivered the baby.

When he was born, he didn’t have a name yet, so he was called Yuan Xiaozi.

Later it was changed to Longping.

Moreover, at least one third of Mr. Yuan’s life was extremely disappointing.

(02)

Before the age of 36, Yuan Longping had two nicknames.

"Congo cloth", "fried ghost".

The first one laughed at him.

The latter joke made him dirty.

He was a teacher at Anjiang Agricultural School in Hunan Province at the time, determined to solve the Chinese people's feeding problem. So he devoted himself to studying hybrid rice. He often squats in the fields, sweat flowing, and the black soil accumulates on the collar of his clothes. So some people say he is black, and some people think he is dirty.

So he is in his 30s and still alone.

Yuan Longping is also very anxious.

There are also various blind dates and various meetings.

The girls on blind dates all praised him: You are a good person.

But we are not suitable.

Yuan Longping had no choice but to come back and continue teaching.

Yuan Longping did not notice that when he was lecturing, there was a female student on the stage who looked at him without blinking.

This girl’s name is Deng Ze.

Just look at him. There is nothing else, such as romance, teacher-student love, nothing like that.

She only married Yuan Longping, who was 10 years older than her, when she was 26 years old.

There is no romance whatsoever.

The youth of Yuan Longping and Deng Ze

On the wedding day, Yuan Longping quietly asked his wife: We are all married, should I buy you new clothes?

Deng Ze shyly replied: No, no.

Forget it. No money anyway.

Yuan Longping continued to study after that, but one day he went home and said to his wife: You have to be mentally prepared. Someone is going to criticize me, maybe tomorrow, and then I will be locked up in the bullpen.

Oh. The wife said: Then let’s become farmers together. Anyway, we won’t delay the research on hybrid rice.

My wife’s words encouraged Yuan Longping beyond words.

He continued his research.

The research went well, but it failed more than 3,000 times.

Failed more than 3000 times.

One year, his student and assistant Li Bihu discovered a natural hybrid rice.

How important is this discovery?

——Some people say that this discovery is equivalent to winning the 1 billion yuan jackpot ten times in a row.

The probability of winning the 1 billion yuan jackpot ten times in a row has been met by the Chinese.

The Chinese are lucky to meet Yuan Longping.

It was Yuan Longping's luck to meet his wife Deng Ze.

After more than 3,000 failures, Yuan Longping finally gained something.

I often drag my wife to the beach without any reason. One of the couple plays the violin and the other sings. The two of them look at me and I look at you, with all kinds of affection and all kinds of eyes facing each other. I couldn't bear to go home even after dark.

In fact, it is more convenient to go home.

I probably always felt that I owed my wife too much before, right?

When the economy became better, he went on a business trip to buy beautiful dresses for his wife, but he was a straight man and didn’t know the size, so he simply bought them all.

When his wife was taking a bath, he sat at the door and called his wife's name every two minutes - because the quality of water heaters in those days was unreliable. Speculation, Yuan Longping was worried that his wife would be electrocuted, so he did this.

When you go abroad, you must take your wife with you. Out of a rigorous scientific and realistic spirit, he made a set of English versions of help signs for his wife. If his wife is lost abroad, relying on these rescue signs, there is a high probability that she can be found again.

After being married to this man for 40 years, Deng Ze finally got a car and got his driver's license.

But Yuan Longping was so fierce that he did not allow his wife to drive.

He said: I want to keep you company for a few more years.

He is worried that something will happen to his wife.

Yes, he is a warm man.

He is a doting wife.

(03)

Yuan Longping passed away, and many people cried together.

Yuan Longping indeed made extraordinary contributions to the country. But some people think that the honor given to him by the country is enough.

Is that so?

Netizen Sa Sa Xiao recalled Yuan Longping’s ride at Beijing West Railway Station.

Mr. Yuan, who is in his 80s, came to Beijing for a meeting.

Then take the high-speed train back to Changsha.

There is no bus to pick you up or drop off, just a long queue at the West Railway Station.

It seems that the West Railway Station does not have an entrance convenient for the elderly.

There is no academician entrance.

It can only be arranged like this.

When the queue arrived, the little girl checking the tickets looked at Mr. Yuan in a mess.

She recognized Mr. Yuan, and obviously she didn't expect that such a famous scientist would have to queue up like everyone else... Let him go quickly.

After entering, there is a security check.

Mr. Yuan was very obedient and raised his hands to cooperate.

Enter the lobby.

Some people recognized Mr. Yuan and came to greet him. Some people asked suspiciously: Are you really Academician Yuan Longping?

When we arrived at the waiting area, there was a lounge, and everyone invited Mr. Yuan to go inside and take a rest.

Mr. Yuan decisively refused.

Why refuse? Everyone couldn't understand that you are a great scientist in your 80s who is responsible for important scientific research tasks... But when they arrived at the door, everyone understood.

No entry allowed!

According to the system, Yuan Longping can only buy first-class seats.

Those who are eligible to enter the rest room are those in special seats.

Everyone was anxious at that time and emphasized Mr. Yuan’s identity to the staff in front of the door. Several passengers in the lounge asked to come out and let Mr. Yuan in.

In the end, Mr. Yuan did not go in either.

When we got in the car, another monster appeared. Mr. Yuan was seated in a first-class seat, but the accompanying secretary was seated in a second-class seat. The friend who was seeing him off discussed with the lady sitting next to Mr. Yuan that he should use a second-class seat instead of the lady’s first-class seat. She must have recognized Mr. Yuan. The lady did not yell about "no moral kidnapping", but happily gave up her seat.

Then everyone advised Mr. Yuan: You are 80 years old and your secretary is taking care of you. You should buy seats together.

No. Yuan Lao was happy.

Due to system regulations, the secretary can only buy second-class seats.

Next, Mr. Yuan gave everyone a brain-burning question: Gandhi was a big shot, but he always bought third-class seats when traveling on business. Now please listen to the question: Why did Gandhi only buy third-class seats when traveling on business? Why?

Yes, why?

Everyone felt that their intelligence was not enough and looked at Mr. Yuan eagerly.

Because—— Mr. Yuan’s face was full of mystery and he revealed the answer: because there are no fourth-class seats.

Hahaha, Mrs. Yuan is naughty.

This is Mr. Yuan.

In history, there is probably only one person who can compare with him, right?

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Mozi heard that the Chu State was going to attack the Song State, so he rushed thousands of miles to the Chu State, fought with the Chu State's master tactics one by one, defeated them, and finally made the Chu State He gave up the idea of ??attacking Song Dynasty. Then Mozi returned to the Song Dynasty, encountered heavy rain on the way, and wanted to take shelter under the city gate - but was stopped by the gatekeepers.

You are not high enough to take shelter from the rain in the doorway.

We can only stand in the wind and rain.

He is 80 years old, queues up to take the bus, goes through the security check, is not allowed to enter the lounge, and even the secretary cannot sit next to him to take care of him.

But some people say that the treatment given to Mr. Yuan is too high.

Is this called high?

(04)

Some people mentioned Mr. Yuan’s contribution to the Chinese people, his contribution to science, and his contribution to promoting civilization.

However, the most precious wealth that Mr. Yuan left us should be his dedication to the concept of life.

First, what do people live for?

Some young people feel inadequate in their lives and complain about all kinds of grievances.

The same goes for Mr. Yuan. He has not yet married a wife at the age of 36, and is ridiculed and despised by others. However, he never gives up on himself, but aims to eliminate the hunger that has been suppressing the Chinese people for thousands of years. . Some people say that Mr. Yuan's success is luck - if the success obtained by failing more than 3,000 times is called luck, it only shows that the number of times we have failed is far from enough.

Second, what is love?

Meeting his wife was the beginning of Mr. Yuan’s love. He lived up to this love. From youth to old age, their love became more and more intense. Their love has experienced the test of poverty, the test of wealth, the test of changes in social status, and the test of countless ups and downs and impacts.

A promise is made and kept for life.

Yuan Laoai’s life practice is worth pondering for each of us.

Third, what is happiness?

Yuan Laozhi is an unparalleled scholar in the country, but he is not qualified to enter the rest room at Beijing West Railway Station.

Who is qualified to enter?

But Mr. Yuan doesn’t care about these bad things. He is happy, happy, and telling nonsense jokes to his friends.

He lives only for himself.

——Live only for the cause in your heart, and only for the well-being of the people.

Honor, disgrace, reputation, what does this have to do with him?

This is happiness. Mr. Yuan’s happiness comes from his tolerant, compassionate and great heart. He likes it when the world treats him well. In this era of turmoil and storm, how could it affect his mood? Just because he has a happy heart.

He lives in inner happiness.
