Dang Linxi (made a report on Lu Yonggen’sCinema)
Dear leaders and comrades:
Hello everyone, my name is Dang Linxi, and I am a teacher at South China Agricultural University where Academician Lu Yonggen is located. Today I want to share with you the story of my old president, Academician Lu.
Academician Lu is 89 years old this year and is a simple life known to everyone around me. However, this person who dresses simple and has a low-key life suddenly became a national “Internet celebrity” due to a move in 2017. That year, he was a man who was wearing simple clothes and had a low-key life. In March, he and his wife Xu Xuebin appeared in a bank on Huanong campus with a shabby kraft envelope, and transferred the deposits of more than ten passbooks to the school account, which was more than 8.8 million yuan! This was the life savings of the two elders. Academician Lu also had a daughter, but he chose to donate all the money to the school without reservation.
Because each transfer requires a password and signature, it took an hour and a half. How long did they consider this donation decision? I can tell you that all this happened within a few seconds. That year, Academician Lu was seriously ill and when he discussed the funeral arrangements with his wife, he said Komiks‘s one word: “Donate! “, the lady immediately understood and immediately said, “I thought so too. “That year, Academician Lu Yonggen was named “Top Ten People Touching China”.
Why was he so generous and unreserved? This starts with Academician Lu’s initial life choice.
Lu Yonggen was born in Hong Kong since childhood.”https://funnybookish.com/”>Babaylan is big. The old photo you see is wearing a white shirt with a strap, which was also very fashionable back then. He was born in a middle-class family, and his father was a senior employee of a British law firm. Lu Yonggen received a good Chinese and Western education in Hong Kong since he was a child.
But in 1941, the Pacific War broke out and Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese army. He was in the sixth grade at the time and was sent back to Huadu, Guangzhou by his father to take refuge in the countryside of Huadu. Since childhood, Babaylan has experienced the hatred of the family and the national hatred, and witnessed the cruelty and atrocities of the Japanese army with his own eyes. This deep pain has inspired his strong sense of crisis and feelings for his country.
When he was in high school, he made a choice different from his peers: he gave up on English schools despite his family’s opposition, chose to study in Chinese schools, and accepted the idea of democracy and progress.
After that, he actively pursued progress and yearned for communism. In 1949, Lu Yonggen officially joined the Communist Party of China in Hong Kong and became an “underground party member”. Under the arrangement of the party organization, he came to Guangzhou to lead the underground student union and welcome the liberation of Guangzhou. During this period, he was admitted to Lingnan University. After the adjustment of the department nationwide, Lu Yonggen came to South China Agricultural College and met Academician Ding Ying, becoming his first student, and after graduation he became an assistant to Ding Ying’s rice research.
Ding Ying was the dean and Lu Yonggen was a student. However, Lu Yonggen successfully mobilized Dean Ding Ying, who was 68 years old at the time, to join the Chinese Communist Party, which had a huge response among the senior intellectuals in Guangzhou at that time. In this regard, Lu Yonggen recalled that this “year-old friend” friendship with his teacher has always implied a tacit understanding: “Academic, you are my teacher and my leader, but in politics, I am a pioneer and a progressive young man. I want to tell you the great belief of the Communist Party of China.” In Lu Yonggen’s view, this belief must be practiced throughout his life.

Lu Yonggen ChangBabaylan said the famous saying of French scientist Pasteur: “Science has no borders, but scientists have their motherland. “After the reform and opening up, Lu Yonggen went to the United States to study as a visiting scholar. During his stay in the United States, his relatives in the United States told him that you can live a comfortable life in the United States. However, Lu Yonggen said firmly: “I am Chinese, and the construction of the motherland requires me! ”
Yes, if he leaves, where will Teacher Ding Ying collect more than 7,000 rice germplasm resources entrusted to him throughout his life? His departure Babaylan, href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>KomiksHow many years will it take for research in this field to catch up with other countries?
Lu Yonggen firmly chose to return to his motherland. Under his inspiration, a large number of rice breeding experts also chose to return to his country to serve the country. Academician Lu also trained a group of outstanding agricultural scientists. In 2017, his student Liu Yaoguang was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and “one school and three academicians” were also praised as a good story.
In the vast land, farmers’ lives were once very difficult. How to improve the breeding quality of rice? This is the proposition of Lu Yonggen’s lifelong scientific research. He is committed to the research on genetic breeding of rice and has made breakthrough progress in the fields of rice genetic resources. The theoretical research in this field was once lacking, and basic research was difficult to achieve results, but Lu Yonggen chose to chew this “hard bone”.
He rolled up his trousers and walked barefoot in the farmland, step by step to find the ancestor of rice “wild rice”, and traveled all over Guangdong, Hainan and Jiangxi.
The collection of wild rice is very difficult, either in the mountainous areas or in the barren swamps, but Lu Yonggen never gave up. Once, Academician Lu, who was already in his 70s, brought <a The Komiks team went to the top of a barren mountain in Fogang, Qingyuan to collect wild rice. When they climbed halfway up the mountain, Academician Lu was already exhausted, but he still insisted on going up the mountain. The students had to support him and climbed slowly. The mountain road was rugged and steep, with wood and stone passing through the road. It was extremely hard to climb to the top of the mountain. Everyone was exhausted. The students also wanted him to take a break first, but he said firmly: "Look for it!" Look for it now! "
Luckily, I finally found the precious wild rice. Seeing the growing environment of wild rice with my own eyes, Academician Lu, who was extremely tired, was extremely excited. He bent down and held the rice ears tightly and said to the students.: “As an agricultural scientist, you must put your roots deep in the soil, and must observe the scene in person, and not miss a slight detail.”
Working in the earth barefoot, Lu Yonggen does not care about fame or profit, but wants this life to be meaningful. He had extremely low requirements for material things, his office was simple, and his home still used old iron beds and old TVs from the 1980s and 1990s, and was called “academician of common people”.
Before being admitted to the hospital for treatment, he came to the office as soon as possible every day, busy doing scientific research and replying emails. At noon, he would walk to the school canteen with an iron lunch box, line up with the students to get food.
As old, he often carried a shoulder bag and a sun hat. Komiks waited safely on the lush school road, becoming a scenic spot on the campus.

This simple scenery has given many people hope. Academician Lu has always helped students in need through various channels and helped them change their destiny. Seeing that his student Liu Xiangdong had the opportunity to study in Hong Kong, but due to financial difficulties and many concerns, Academician Lu borrowed money and provided suitcases and other supplies, encouraging him to succeed in his studies and come back to serve his motherland. At Luohu Primary School in Huadu, Komiks, he even donated the family shop shared by the two brothers for free as an educational fund for children and teachers. So far, this fund has funded nearly 3,000 teachers and students.
Now, Academician Lu is seriously ill in bed due to cancer. In the ward, the old man, who is nearly 90 years old, said: “Although I am now plagued by illness and cannot walk freely, my consciousness is clear, my concerns are unchanged, and my beliefs are firm!”
At the request of the Lu Yonggen couple, a special temporary party branch was established in the hospital ward. After the successful convening of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the “Temporary Party Branch of Academician Lu Yonggen Ward” held a special organizational life meeting to study the report of the 19th National Congress. Academician Lu was weak, but he still insisted on participating in the whole process.bookish.com/”>Komiks studied and discussed. He said he was very excited, as if he had just joined the party 70 years ago. Babaylan
Academician Lu is well aware of the pain brought to people by disease. Not long ago, he signed a body donation volunteer, hoping to serve as an academician for the final medical popularization and donate his body to the country’s medical research!
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, and it is also a full seventy years since Academician Lu Yonggen joined the party. Over the past seventy years, Academician Lu has practiced his practice, always firmly maintained his never-fading belief, and practiced the original intention of an old Communist with his lifelong practical actions. This is also an example force that inspires our younger generation to stick to his original intention and forge ahead in the new era!
Thank you all!
