Henan Agricultural University is about to celebrate its 120th anniversary. Professor Wang Zelin of the school once again donated all the 3 million yuan of his Henan Provincial Science and Technology Outstanding Contribution Award to the school. The reason why I say "again" is because in 2020, Professor Wang Zelin donated 82.08 million yuan of his lifetime scientific research achievement conversion fee to the school to build a high-level biosafety protection level three laboratory (P3 laboratory ).
Professor Wang Zelin, who has always been known as "stingy", is so generous to the school, which is really awe-inspiring. Is Professor Wang Zelin "stingy"? Really "stingy". He still lives in the old house from decades ago, rides an electric bike to and from the old and new campuses, and doesn’t even have a decent suit when attending formal occasions... In terms of material life, Professor Wang Zelin is "stingy" about himself. To the extreme. However, for the better development of the school and for the successors of scientific research, the stingy Professor Wang Zelin is willing to spend a lot of money. Comparing the two, Professor Wang Zelin's "stinginess" seems even more valuable.
There is no one else in my heart, I only want to serve the country. Professor Wang Zelin donated all his income without hesitation because what he thought about was never himself, but the development of the country's scientific research and the succession of scientific research talents from generation to generation. "I am already old, but scientific research must be succeeded by successors. The money will only be valuable if it is used where it is more needed." Such simple and sincere words brought tears to the eyes of many people.
has never had an ego, only family and country are in his heart. This is the true role model and the brightest "star" of this era. Noble moral character needs to be praised, and the backbone of the nation must be respected. However, role models are not only for admiration, but also for learning and emulating. We must not only praise Professor Wang Zelin and people like Professor Wang Zelin, but we must also strive to be like them. In every moment and every day, let our country and society continue to progress and become better because of the contribution of each of us. (Gao Yongwei, special commentator of CCTV)
