In memory of Yuan Lao

From the false news at 1 1 this morning to 2 pm, the death news was posted on the hot search.

My mood fluctuates. At that time, after 2 o'clock, I was even thinking, hurry up, hurry up, until CCTV news finally confirmed.

I was sitting in the library, tears running down my nose.

There is a poem in Weibo, "The mountains and rivers were shocked last night, but today the big star left Kyushu", referring to the earthquake in Qinghai, Yunnan last night and the death of Mr. Wu in Yuan Longping today. This reminds me of1the fall of Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou after the Tangshan earthquake in 976. The death of a great man will always be the regret of this society.

The first time I knew Grandpa Yuan Longping's name, like many people, it was in the primary school textbook. Lovely and kind grandpa is watching his hybrid rice intently in the paddy field. At that time, the teacher told us that it was the hybrid rice developed by Grandpa Yuan Longping that enabled us to eat rice, solve the problem of food and clothing, and stop starving.

Later, in the history of junior high school, in the contribution of modern great men, there was always the name of "Yuan Longping, the father of miscellaneous rice in China"; Going to the college entrance examination is a name that appears in many people's college entrance examination compositions. I am used to the name of Grandpa Yuan Longping in my distant life.

In the older generation, being full is great happiness. Grandpa often told me that when he was a soldier, in order to eat more, he had to cook a small bowl of rice first, eat it quickly, and then fill the second bowl at a faster speed, so that he could eat more than others.

With the enrichment of material life, food and clothing have become our basic needs, and now we are more pursuing spiritual prosperity. Let's think about it from another angle. We might as well compare today's spiritual pursuit to the pursuit of food and clothing that day. Can you feel the people's hunger for food at that time, the preciousness of food and Yuan Longping's outstanding contribution?

"I have two dreams. One dream is that super rice grows better than sorghum, with ears like brooms and seeds as big as peanuts. It is called the dream of enjoying the cool under the grain. "

After writing this passage, I burst into tears. This is a simple and unpretentious dream and a simple and great wish of a gentle person.

A great man can be called a great man because he is willing to contribute his life to this society.

As he said, "My lifelong pursuit is to keep everyone away from hunger."

He kept his word.

"An old man, with a deficit heart, deeply loves this land. He is a loyal watcher of rice fields. "

"Grandpa should live like a fairy, drive his car across the fields every day, take care of him for one hundred or two hundred years, and guard his fields with his cat." This is a comment from a netizen in Weibo.

He should have enjoyed his old age, but he gave himself to his motherland, still immersed in his research room, and even rarely spent time with his family.

Yuan Longping wrote to her mother that she had not seen her mother for the last time because of her busy work.

This afternoon, the people of Changsha spontaneously organized a farewell to Yuan Lao in the hospital. When the vehicle meets the hearse, it stops to whistle for three minutes.

At the moment when the hearse came out in the video, everyone shouted "Go all the way", and the tears really couldn't hold back. Our people will always remember Yuan Lao's contribution.

The will of the people, the people of the whole country are unparalleled!

We are all small and ordinary people in the world. Until today, Mr. Yuan Longping died, and some interviews and documentaries during his lifetime have been turned over. I was surprised to find that until today, I didn't realize that he was different, not just the words "the father of hybrid rice in China" that I often wrote in my composition.

This kind of sadness comes and goes quickly. After a few days and a week, we may throw ourselves into a busy life again. The triviality of life and the busyness of study will multiply our troubles. It's like seeing a man begging for a living on the roadside. At first glance, we will be sympathetic and sad, but when we turn around and cross the road, we may forget it.

The purpose of writing this article is just to mourn, to commemorate Grandpa Yuan Longping, and to remember my current mood and grief. After reading it many years later, I can still remember "cherish the hard-won food and cherish the life I take for granted at this moment."
