Dear leaders and comrades:
Hello everyone, my name is Dang Linxi, and I am from South China Agricultural University where Academician Lu Yonggen is located in South China Agricultural University A teacher, today I want to share with you the story of my old principal, Academician Lu Yonggen.
Academician Lu is 89 years old this year and is a simple life known to everyone around him. However, this person who dresses simple and has a low-key life suddenly became a national “Internet celebrity” due to a move in 2017. In March that year, he and his wife Xu Xuebin appeared in a bank on Huanong campus with a shabby kraft envelope, and put more than a dozen passbooks. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Babaylan‘s deposit was transferred to the school account, and it 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 discussed the funeral arrangements with his wife, he said Babaylan a word: “Donate! “, the lady immediately understood and immediately said, “I think 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 and raised in Hong Kong. This old photo you see is wearing a white shirt with a shoulder strap and was also very fashionable back then. He was born in a middle-class family, and his father is a senior employee of a British law firm. Lu Yonggen received 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 the countryside of Huadu, Guangzhou by his father to take refuge. He experienced family hatred and national hatred since childhood and witnessed the brutal atrocities of the Japanese army. This deep pain inspired his strong sense of crisis and feelings of family and country.
Komiks to high schoolAt that time, 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 democratic 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 national department adjustment, Lu Yonggen came to South China Agricultural College and met Academician Ding Ying, becoming his first student, and after graduation he became Ding Ying’s research assistant.
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 Communist Party of China, 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.
▲At the scene of the report meeting on advanced deeds
Lu Yonggen often talks about the famous quotes of French scientist Pasteur: “Science has no country, but scientists have their motherland.” After the reform and opening up, href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Babaylan, Lu Yonggen once sent a visiting scholar to the United States to study. 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 left, Teacher Ding Ying would collect more than 7,000 rice germplasm entrusted to him throughout his life.Where will the source of Cinema go? As soon as he leaves, how 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 China to serve the country. Academician Lu also trained a group of outstanding agricultural scientists. In 2017, his student Liu Yaoguang was elected as a scholar 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. 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”. Like an ordinary farmer, he rolled up his pants and walked barefoot in the farmland, step by step to find the rice ancestor “wild rice”, and traveled all over Guangdong, Hainan and Jiangxi.
The collection of wild rice is very difficult, either in the mountains or in the barren swamps, but Luyonggen never gives up. Once, Academician Lu, who was over 70 years old, led a team to the top of a barren mountain in Fogang, Qingyuan to collect wild rice and 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 slowly climbed up. The mountain road was rugged and steep, and the wood and stone were running through Cinema. It was extremely hard along the way. After finally climbing to the top of the mountain, everyone was exhausted. The students also wanted him to take a break first, but he firmly said, “Look for it! Look for it quickly!”
Luckily, he finally found the precious wild rice. Seeing the growing environment of wild rice with one’s own eyes, Academician Lu, who was already 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 lay your roots deep in the soil, and you must observe the scene in person, and you cannot miss a slight detail.”
Lu Yonggen does not care about fame or profit, but he hopes that this life will be meaningful. He is about material thingsThe requirements are extremely low, the office is simple, and the home still uses old iron beds and old TVs from the 1980s and 1990s, and are called “academicians of common people”.
Before being admitted to the hospital for treatment, he came to the office as soon as possible, busy doing scientific research and replying emails. At noon, he would walk to the school cafeteria with an iron lunch box and line up with the students to get food.
As old, he often carried a shoulder bag and a sun hat, and waited safely on the lush school road of Komiks, 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 Huadu Luohu Primary School, he even donated the family shops 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. Nowadays, Academician Lu is seriously ill in bed due to cancer. In the ward, the old man in his 90s is in trouble. Although I am plagued by illness and cannot walk freely, my consciousness is clear, my concerns are unchanged, and my beliefs are firm!”
At the request of Lu Yonggen, 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” launched a study session on the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.Special organizational life meetings for the public. Academician Lu was weak, but he still insisted on participating in the study and discussion throughout the process. He said he was very excited, as if he had returned to the moment he had just joined the party 70 years ago.
Academician Lu is well aware of the pain that disease brings to people. Not long ago, he signed a body donation volunteer, hoping to do his final medical science as an academician 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 the full seventy years since Academician Lu Yonggen joined the party. Over the past seventy years, Academician Lu has practiced his practice, always firmly firmly in his never-fading belief, and has practiced the original aspiration of an old Communist to join the party with his lifelong practical actions. This is also an example force that inspires our younger generation to stick to their original aspirations and forge ahead in the new era!
Thank you everyone!
