The people of De'an in my hometown mourned Academician Longping at Longping Square
1. First introduction to Academician Longping
The people of De'an in my hometown mourned Academician Longping at Longping Square
I have been a "curious ghost" since I was a child, and I like to chase after him. I asked my grandma all kinds of things about the past, and I also liked to look through the textbooks of my brothers and sisters. One time I came across "Yuan Longping" . That was the first time I knew that the "Yuan Longping" who appeared in the textbook turned out to be our De'an. people!
At that time, I felt that pride that people of my age could not possibly feel! I was ignorant at the time, but I really admired it and thought: It turns out that we De'an people can also teach textbooks!
Later, I actually met Lin Quan when he was in the fourth grade of elementary school. That was the first time that Academician Yuan Longping returned to his hometown in a public capacity (although he had returned many times before).
Academician Longping returned to his hometown of De'an
. I remember that he was in the old department store in the county town (if I remember correctly, it should be a department store, and it was later renamed Qianyi Baishun), and he happened to be on the street that day (I remember it was a Saturday to buy autumn clothes). There were a lot of people on the street at that time, and the elders were curious and joined in the fun. Later, I found out that the person everyone was greeting was the "Yuan Longping" who appeared in the textbook before!
Academician Longping looked at the gifts given to him by the people in his hometown
Although he didn't understand much at the time, he still remembered how important the "wanderer" who returned to his hometown was to the people in his hometown. A few years later, I turned to the written records of that year, and it said that he spoke in standard De'an dialect "Oh, it's De'an Ning" (Maybe there were too many people at the time, so I couldn't hear it).
It must have been the first time I saw such a "big man" as a child, but I couldn't detect the aura of any big-name figure in him. Instead, he had the authenticity and kindness of an old De'an man returning to his hometown.
2. Proud of Academician Longping
Yuan Longping was at Longping School in De'an County
Later, as he grew older and became sensible, he realized that Mr. Yuan was such a down-to-earth big shot. He is the pride of the people across the country, and was once the greatest pride in the hearts of our people in De'an. He has also become a source of pride for me to talk about wherever I read and where I work. So many friends around me know that Yuan Longping was born in my hometown!
I remember when I was in college, I was running for class leader at the first class meeting. At the end of my speech, I spoke in a standard De’an dialect, and at the same time I didn’t forget to tell my classmates: “My hometown is De’an, does De’an know? ? In addition to Yimen Chen and Li An, there is also Yuan Longping, the father of our hybrid rice. "
I have said this on many occasions. I am a passionate person, so I also have a deep love for my hometown.Every time I promote my hometown, I will not hesitate at all!
Yuan Longping was in De'an No. 1 Middle School
Especially when talking about "Grandpa Yuan Longping", I could talk about it for a long time, including his life in De'an as a child, his seniority and his former residence. Where and when did he come to De'an...
Visit De'an Rice Field Square
Later, Grandpa Yuan Longping returned to De'an. He was in school at that time and did not have time to go home to see him. At that time, he was regretful, but Fortunately, Academician Yuan Longping returned to De'an the next year.
took the opportunity to secretly glance at him in the crowd... At that moment, the amiable image of this old man was deeply imprinted in my heart. Isn’t that kind of kindness that I call myself a “farmer” the low-key kind that my grandma taught me? !
This is low-key at heart, but Mr. Yuan really cares about his hometown! He is concerned about the development of his hometown. From "Yuan Longping Library" to "Longping School" to "Longping Scholarship" and so on. Academician Longping is always concerned about the development of his hometown! The people in his hometown were also proud of him. From then on, "De'an" and "Yuan Longping" were inseparable.
At the same time, "Longping Avenue", "Longping Square", "Paddy Field Square", "Longping School" and other De'an "Longping" elements related to Mr. Yuan began to become more prominent.
3. The Unacceptable Reality
Academician Yuan Longping has always been dedicated to the front line of scientific research. Needless to say, he has won awards, big and small. He has brought his own traffic and has become the most respectable "Grandpa Yuan" in the hearts of the people! While keeping a low profile, he has always maintained a habit of being enthusiastic about hobbies and sports all year round, and his physical condition has always been very good!
However, I didn’t expect that today (now it’s yesterday) when my friend forwarded the news about “Yuan Lao’s death” to me for the first time, I was instantly confused! I'm reading the news like crazy, I can't believe this is true!
It’s okay, but it’s a rumor in the end! Fortunately, someone came out to refute the rumors!
But after refuting the rumor, when I saw the word "critically ill", I immediately started to panic! That feeling was very familiar. Although we didn't know each other, the pride and admiration imprinted in my bones really made my heart tighten and my mind go blank!
I can calmly accept all results in the future, but the news still came out - "Yuan Longping passed away" .
Before this, a friend said: "You will definitely live a long life!" We all comforted ourselves and believed it to be true, and silently prayed for Mr. Yuan. But the moment the news came out, all illusions were shattered by the facts!
A colleague told me "Your fellow countryman has passed away." I just replied "Oh!"
Pretending to be calm, but my heart was already shattered!
At that moment, I was very calm, but I still felt that I was in a dream and pretended that nothing happened.
Looking at the posts in Moments and various platforms commemorating Mr. Yuan, I no longer care whether they are true or false! After experiencing a lot of things, the only thing I can understand is: in the adult world of , saying goodbye seems to have become a necessary skill. While our edges are being smoothed, we are also forced to accept various facts that we are unwilling to believe or accept.
Facing reality, many things are not allowed. My mind was blank for a day, all the things that had happened to me recently were anxiously combined, and I could only end up with a bitter smile and compromise.
4. I will miss you all my life
It is difficult to calm down and calm down. The death of Grandpa Yuan Longping is just like the rain in this season in my hometown, making people unconsciously feel sentimental and melancholy.
Especially the rain today, which has been falling all day long, is like the tears of God. It seems that they have already known about today's bad news, so even the weather forecast is accurate with rain.
I wonder if Mr. Yuan, who loves to read weather forecasts, has already known about today’s rain.
I am not overly sentimental, nor is everyone worthy of your memory or nostalgia, nor am I being pretentious. Thinking back carefully, from the time I knew this name to today's sudden "big earthquake", my heart is still full of respect and memory for this old man!
When I think of this moment several years later, I think it will still make waves in my heart.
The story about Mr. Yuan will continue to be told. Just like the tweet I saw today, the title reads "I want to tell my child's children's children that he is Yuan Longping!"
What I admire may be the person, or maybe it is the obsession I first met when I was young. Maybe it’s the spirit of choosing a career and dedicating it to life!
Everyone may have different interpretations of "love", "respect" and "worship", but I hope that at this moment, we are not following the trend, not for the so-called "traffic", but paying tribute and remembrance from the heart !
"You have affected me through the ups and downs of life, and I will miss you forever."
