"Farmer academician" Zhu Youyong: to write the paper on the earth

, Xinhua News Agency, Kunming, December 1st, title: "To write the paper on the ground" - remember "farmers
" Zhu Youyong
Xinhua News Agency reporters Wu Xiaoyang, Yue Ranran, Chen Congendorsement of a "magic potato", has attracted media attention.
2018
, the national
representative Zhu Youyong, holding a large potato, appeared in the Great Hall of the People "representative channel", to the Chinese
body to tell the story of science and technology poverty alleviation: ordinary potatoes but duck eggs size, and he instructed the villagers to grow potatoes bigger than ostrich eggs, weight of a 5 pounds. By planting winter potatoes, the winter idle fields of the villagers in the village of Border Village have become high-yielding fields and poverty-free fields.
This "magic potato" is the Chinese Academy of Engineering
, Yunnan Agricultural University Honorary President Zhu Youyong to study agricultural science and technology, into science and technology to help the microcosm -
more than 30 years, Zhu Youyong research and development of crop diversity pest control technology, large-scale application of more than 300 million mu, become the international use of biodiversity to control pests and diseases model;
past five years, Zhu Youyong led the team to take root in the deep poverty-poor Lancang Lahu Autonomous County of Yunnan Province, using scientific and technological strength to change the face of local poverty and become a model of national science and technology poverty alleviation.
in "Nature" and other academic journals published more than 200 scientific and technological papers, more than 20 invention patents, major awards 18 items, Zhu Youyong has always been the heart of farmers, do not forget the first heart, as his mantra: "I am a farmer who can grow crops." "" Noda, Lajukumassi. (Hello, I can't speak the language.) One
, Lancang County, Yunshan Village, Zhutang Township, Artemisinin Branch Dam Group.
opened the door of a villager's house, a 65-year-old man said. The Lahu villager smiled and replied with a "Hambakumassi (I can't speak Chinese) " and warmly welcomed the people into the house.
is the most commonly used phrase used by Zhu Youyong in five years.
years ago, the battle for precision poverty alleviation was spreading across China. Zhu Youyong is located in the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pair to help the southwest border of the deep poverty county - Pu'er City Lancang County.
166,700 people living in poverty, the rate of poverty is as high as 41%, Lancang County poverty alleviation task is difficult, Yunnan is one of the main battlegrounds to fight poverty. Who will
"poverty alleviation"? At a special meeting held by the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Zhu Youyong, who had just turned 60,
said to himself: "I am young, I will do it!" Zhu
and his colleagues soon came to Lancang County. However, walking in a number of villages in Zhutang Township, the eyes are so sad - fence houses, thatched houses around the wind, a fire pond, a few cooking utensils, a pile of corn and a pig or two is the whole family.
it reminded him of his childhood.
1955, Zhu Youyong was born into a rural family in the old city of Hani Autonomous Prefecture of the Red River in Yunnan Province. Poverty and hunger gave birth to his strong desire to make his folks better and his crops grow better.
"This place shouldn't be so poor. Zhu Youyong found that Lancang County ecological environment is good, light, heat, water, soil conditions are superior, such a good resource endowment, but deep in poverty.
Zhu Youyong felt deep guilt, "We owe farmers too much, we are trained by the Party and the people, we are late..."
But the villagers didn't get much of a feeling at first.
to go to the village to investigate, many of the Lahu people opened the mouth is a sentence: "Give me some money, give me some money I will get out of poverty..."
Zhu Youyong is very anxious, what is the long-term solution to give money? The concept of "wait and wait" is even more important. He understood that in order for the villagers to believe that they could be brought out of poverty, they had to go to the farmers' hearts and fight with the villagers.
Zhu Youyong started from scratch, began to learn lahu, slowly mastered some of the daily language. He said, "It's more useful to drink, to be able to drink with the villagers, it's definitely going to work." "
has solved the communication barrier, Zhu Youyong's battle is just beginning. One question after another, in Zhu Youyong's mind waiting to solve the problem -
" Lancang County is rich in resources, farmers have a large number of arable land and forests, but how to turn the resource advantages here into economic benefits? What industries are the resources most suitable for development here? With
problems, he went to the village to study the poverty alleviation of the fields.
five years, Zhu Youyong led the team to make use of professional expertise, scientific development measures to transform the advantages of resources into economic advantages, press the Lancang poverty alleviation "fast-forward key."
April 2017, the "China Academy of
Expert Poverty Reduction Workstation" was established in the Artemisinin Dam Group.
artemisinin branch dam group activity room has become a "science and technology yard." "It's like a farmer's field school, led by Zhu
's team, where folks learn technology while they plant fields and establish the concept of getting rich in science and technology." Zhutang Township
Huangzhen said.
Ju Youyong dare not slack, " we are used to the paper written on paper, published in the journal, now to write the paper on the ground, so that a family of farmers rich, village by village out of poverty! The first of all is to solve the urgent question: What should farmers plant?
it is not easy to develop the industry. In previous years, Lancang County has large-scale promotion of the cultivation of walnut trees, bamboo pond township planted 7000 acres. Unexpectedly, walnut trees grow very well, but there are very few hanging fruit.
have enterprises come to the door, want to plant peppers. Zhu Youyong left thinking right think, the enterprise advised to retreat, "China pepper production so much, what special advantages here?" "
" should not only make good use of our scientific and technological achievements, but also combine with the natural resources here. Zhu Youyong seized this main line, through the climate, soil, rainfall and other natural conditions of scientific analysis, found a breakthrough: here has the development of winter potatoes and winter vegetables superior conditions.
potatoes are sown in November and December, and harvested in March and April of the next year. "There are very few places where fresh potatoes can be produced at this time, lancang County can become one of the earliest listed fresh potatoes in the country, the purchase price is relatively high." Huang Huichuan, a teacher at Yunnan Agricultural University, began to introduce the villagers.
" an acre of land, a hundred days, ten thousand yuan. "The experts pointed their fingers at the villagers to settle the accounts, and the villagers would be suspicious.
the winter of 2016, the anti-poverty team went to Liu Jinbao, a villager, and mobilized him to grow winter potatoes. Liu Jinbao mouth promised, the result the next day went to the ground sprinkled rape seeds.
Zhu Youyong had to find village cadres, together in the artemisinin dam group of 100 acres of land, started a demonstration planting.
spring of 2017, the demonstration base will have a good harvest. Through production measurement, the highest yield of 4.7 tons per mu, the average yield of 3.3 tons per mu. According to the purchase price of 3 yuan per kilogram, the average yield per acre of potatoes is nearly ten thousand yuan.
news spread to Liu Jinbao's ears, he decided to take out 2 acres of land to plant potatoes to try. Another year in the spring, his family grow out of the village's "potato king", a full weight of 5 pounds.
to the winter of 2018, not waiting for the anti-poverty team to come to the door, Liu Jinbao home 10 acres of land all planted potatoes.
this year, Lancang County winter potatoes have been promoted to grow more than 3200 mu.
potatoes are just a knock on the door for local wealth. "Winter idle field" into "benefit field", not developed and utilized artificial pine forest, successfully used for scientific cultivation of organic three or seven ... The transformation of scientific and technological achievements, so that Zhu Youyong's ideal into a small village courtyard, "this is more than how much of the award, how much money to make me happy." In
2016, Zhu Youyong tried to plant 5 mu of 37 in Zhutang Township, and got positive feedback. He then launched a large-scale roll-out of Forest 37, which will expand to more than 7,300 acres in 2018.
lancang County forestry department research, the county has more than 50 million mu of Si Mao pine forest, of which suitable for the growth of three or seven has more than 40 million mu. In time, Lin is expected to become a pillar industry in Lancang County.
, the rate of poverty in Lancang County is expected to fall below 3% this year, helped by poverty alleviation through science and technology. From the former depth of poverty "straight through the ethnic areas" to today's "science and technology poverty alleviation demonstration county" leap, recorded Zhu Youyong this "farmer
" five years as a first-line attack.
who have the people, the people have him in their hearts. Every time near the Spring Festival, villagers eat pig-killing rice at home, there are queues to invite zhu
.
mountains are speechless, a stone and a gravel are witness. Zhu has the courage to measure the footsteps of the place, is a village out of poverty development hope. help the poor first. In order to guide farmers to grow scientifically, Zhu Youyong in the country's first Chinese Academy of Engineering science and technology poverty alleviation skills training courses, the students are farmers.
" hand led the fellow to do, really do to the villagers to see. "That's what Zhu Youyong said, and that's what he did. He invited
experts to teach farmers directly, both on easy-to-understand theoretical principles and on the field to guide practical operations until they learned.
from the forest three or seven, winter potatoes, to early winter vegetables, tea cultivation, pig and cattle breeding ... Zhu Youyong led the team before and after a total of 24 skills classes, training 1445 local talent.
Zhu Youyong listed us a set of data - 90% of the trainees have been lifted out of poverty, 50% of the students have driven relatives and friends out of poverty, and some of the students have driven the whole village out of poverty.
into the sakai township slope head old village villager Ma Zhengfa home, a training course to participate in the award-winning medal hanging on the doorstep.
ma Zhengfa took part in a winter potato training course in 2017, working on an acre of potatoes. Near the end of the business, potato harvest, Ma Zhengfa informed the whole people to go to the scene to observe his "test results" - he not only planted the largest potatoes in the class that year, 1 mu of potatoes also sold more than 7,000 yuan. Ma Zhengfa thus won the 5000 yuan prize and medal awarded by Zhu Youyong him.
saw that the potatoes he had planted were big, delicious and selling for money, and in the winter of 2018, all 32 villagers of the Potou Laozhai group planted winter potatoes, including 16 poor households with file cards. "This year, we've all been lifted out of poverty." Ma Zhengfa said proudly.
November 11, this year, the Chinese Academy of Engineering Lancang
science and technology poverty alleviation class of the first e-commerce class. Zhu Youyong in the class to teach farmers to open their own online shops, the mountains of high-quality agricultural products directly sold to consumers. He also envisions the introduction of blockchain technology to solve the problem of full process traceability of Chinese herbal medicines.
" forest medicinal herbs can be made into a large industry, not only under the forest three or seven, but also heavy buildings, yellow essence, stone and so on. We want to explore a set of scientific methods to return medicinal herbs to the mountains and forests. "We hope to make a contribution to the development of Chinese medicine with high-quality medicinal materials."
a first heart, always leaping, just as his pledge to join the party -
"unite the masses, for the benefit of the majority." Obey the needs of the motherland and contribute their knowledge to
modernization. For
this oath, in 1996, Zhu Youyong completed a project study on molecular plant pathology at the University of Sydney and returned to Yunnan Agricultural University: "A hotel is better than home." I can go back to my motherland and do things for my hometown, which means more than anything. In
, Zhu Youyong, who had just been elected
of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, proposed to the organization that he would continue to concentrate on scientific research and would no longer serve as president of Yunnan Agricultural University.
Zhu Youyong has fruitful scientific research achievements, many titles, plant pathology experts, the Chinese Academy of Engineering
, the country's outstanding professional and technical personnel, national teachers and so on, but his favorite is "farmers
."
" anti-poverty efforts to bring about earth-shaking changes in the countryside, cadres and masses at all levels are the real main force out of poverty. I am a teacher, or more accurately, a farmer who can grow crops. I was lucky enough to be involved in the work and do what I was supposed to do. "
" Lancang River side artemisinin branch dam, forest medicinal herbs full of cliffs, ecological organic three or seven flowers, everyone saw everyone boast..." The villagers of artemisinin branch dam, like to sing Zhu Youyong according to the mountain song of this "artemisinin branch dam flowers open."
road in the village of Artemisinin, is dotted with a plant called triangular plums. Zhu Youyong introduced this kind of flower after it took root in the artemisinin dam.
He has an idea - wait to be idle and write a novel about his experience and growth in the great battle against poverty in China

on the artemisinin branch dam, the flowering period is in full bloom.
the mountains, the legend of poverty eradication is being continued...
