As an academician, Yuan Longping has made countless contributions to our country, but he usually keeps a low profile. He devoted his life to agricultural research. Earlier, some media reported that Academician Liu Xianlin, an 80-year-old expert in remote sensing and surveying and mapping, was dressed very simply and went out to take the second-class seat of high-speed rail, just like ordinary people. The report was quickly praised by everyone.
So is Yuan Longping. He doesn't like living in a noisy city, but prefers living in a bungalow. Wearing a suit of tens of yuan, the price of shoes will not exceed 150 yuan, and the car that goes out is only a car worth 65,438+10,000 yuan. Over the years, Yuan Longping has focused on solving the problem of eating for ordinary people, but has no time to enjoy life.
Although Yuan Longping is 90 years old, he still sticks to the front line and goes wherever he is needed. Yuan Longping said that he is also a person who can't be idle at all. He always feels that if he doesn't work in the farmland, he seems to lack something. Now in this more than half a year, Yuan Longping seems to have faded out of people's sight. Recently, however, someone saw old Yuan Man Longping at the airport, only to find that he was in a wheelchair and his body seemed to be no longer so strong.
Yuan Longping was really inconvenient to move, so he asked the staff to help him lift the wheelchair and put it on the flat road. It is worth mentioning that Yuan Longping took only one person to help him push the wheelchair when he went out, and this person is also Yuan Longping's assistant. We know that many celebrities have to take a group of assistants when they go out, but Yuan Longping, 90, only takes one person out, not to mention that he is still inconvenient to move. Many netizens expressed great distress after seeing it.
Many people think that Yuan Longping's salary as an academician of China must be very high. In fact, Yuan Longping's monthly salary is only 6,000 yuan. Although he also had a bonus at the end of the year, he invested all these funds in scientific research. I'm afraid the appearance fees of many stars can kill Yuan Longping's annual income in a few days, but their contribution is far less than that of Yuan Longping.
With the continuous development of China's economy, many people's ideas have changed, but there are also some abnormal changes. Many people criticized Yuan Longping for buying expensive Huawei mobile phones and Mercedes-Benz cars. These people think that since Yuan Longping is a scientist, he should be frugal all his life and should not buy luxury goods. But what you may not know is that Yuan Longping was worth 1 100 million years ago.
1998, Yuan Longping's invention patents were finally evaluated by international experts as 100 billion yuan, which means that Yuan Longping can become a billionaire by selling these patents, but Yuan Longping has not done so. He contributed all the patents worth 1000 billion to the country. It is because of this patent that the problem of feeding more than one billion people in China has been solved. In 1960s, the output of rice seedlings in China was only 400 kg, and now it has reached 2000 kg. The annual output of hybrid rice is as high as 50 million kilograms.
Yuan Longping also relaxed after donating his wealth. He said that although he was not the richest man in China, he was greatly comforted mentally. Yuan Longping still lives the same life as ordinary people. Like many old people, he likes playing chess and drinking tea. Yuan Longping also likes to exercise every day. Although he is 90 years old, he still tries to keep healthy.
I once donated hundreds of billions to the motherland, and now I only get 6 thousand salary. When I was 90 years old, I went out in a wheelchair and was alone. Yuan Longping once said that it is impossible for a person to have no utilitarian thoughts. The key is to see the degree. If you look down on material and money, your spiritual world will be more colorful.
