Shen Changjian, male, 46 years old, is a villager in yangqiao Village, Linli County, Changde City, Hunan Province.
During the period of 1978, beekeeper Shen Kequan discovered three kinds of wild rape with long flowering period and good growth structure in Guizhou mountainous area, and brought them back to his hometown for sowing, hoping to provide a new honey source for beekeeping. Then I thought of improving and cultivating high-yield rapeseed varieties to solve the problem of eating oil for my hometown.
At first, the villagers laughed at him, "Nitui wants to be a scientist". Until the 1980s, Shen Kequan cultivated high-quality rape seeds, which were recognized by the villagers.
In the 1990s, local authorities fined and detained Shen Kequan because his rape varieties failed to pass the national approval. However, he taught himself the knowledge of rape genetics, breeding, production and cultivation. In the absence of professional analysis and professional instruments, the father and son observed with the naked eye and summarized the law with records.
During the period of 1996, the family was in debt for rape research. Shen Changjian sold CMB and went home to invest in rapeseed research and development with the money from selling cars.
On 20 1 1 year, the sterile line "Guiye A" bred by Shen Kequan and his son won the national invention patent certificate. In 2007, Shen Kequan held the 12 International Rapeseed Conference in Wuhan with his own giant rapeseed, which caused quite a stir.
In 2009, Shen Kequan died, and Shen Changjian still insisted on rapeseed breeding. The family buried Shen Kequan on the hillside not far from the proving ground. Family members all know that these rape flowers are the last wish and concern of the elderly.
Today, Shen Changjian's "Shenyouza" 202 and 8 19 have entered the regional trial. 300 single plant samples from five mu experimental field, and each sample is sent to 200 yuan once; The 300-mu demonstration film still owes more than 20 thousand wages, and the fertilizer is 20 thousand soon. For Shen Changjian's family, who has no main business income for 35 years, "eating depends on the field and scientific research depends on borrowing". Over the past decades, Shen Kequan and Shen Changjian have raised more than/kloc-0.5 million yuan from their own funds. In recent years, the government often provides subsidies, but Shen's family owes a lot of debts. "Almost all relatives borrowed it." The most valuable things in the house are two refrigerators for storing rapeseed.
Father and son have been together for 35 years for a dream of rape. Shen Changjian said that when the current seeds are approved, they will be sold to seed companies, and the funds will be used to spread the next generation of rapeseed hybrid combinations. Your own road to rapeseed breeding may have to "go slowly", but you must go on anyway.
