Zhong Yang: A scientist who takes root in the mountains and rivers to study plants!

He is a scientist who has taken root in the study of plants in the mountains and rivers, an educator who cultivates talents in the spring weathering rain, and a social activist who devotes himself to the cause of popular science.
he spent 53 years doing what it took other people 100 years to do.
he is Zhong Yang.
came out of Fudan University, with small snowflakes falling from the gray sky, and Shanghai welcomed its first snow in 2018.
nearly half a year apart, colleagues and students have not yet adapted to leave the clock teacher's day.
", "I'm there, what are you worried about?" "Mr. Zhong can always make everyone in trouble feel sure.
his "hahaha" hearty laughter is a necessary medicine to ease anxiety.
everything came to an abrupt end on September 25, 2017, when a car accident on the way to business took mr. Zhong, 53, away.
's unguarded farewell and pleasant past interweaving, we talk about the bell teacher, it is easy to suddenly cry.
wise, funny, warm-hearted, open-minded, home-state... The image of an intellectual with a great heart is becoming more specific: he is a scientist rooted in the mountains and rivers of plantresearch, an educator who trains talents with spring weather, or a social activist who devotes himself to the cause of popular science.
he spent 53 years doing what it took other people 100 years to do.
he is Zhong Yang.
the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, his scientific research and soil "a gene can bring hope to a country, a seed can benefit thousands of children."
", "the establishment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau-specific plants" gene bank, is Zhong Yang has not completed the dream.
he found that Tibet's unique plant resources have not been given enough attention, species numbers are grossly underestimated, and even in the world's largest seed resource bank, there is a lack of plants in Tibet.
for the past decade or so, Zhong Yang has spent a small and a half year working in Tibet, collecting more than 40 million seeds from the northern Tibetan plateau to the southern Valley of Tibet, from Ali no man's land to the Linzhi Yalu-Zangbu River, collecting more than 40 million seeds from thousands of plants.
he believes that preserving the genes of these especialplants for the country now will bring endless possibilities to the future.
Zhong Yang often said, "It is not the great who dreams, but the good dreamer is outstanding".
his path of scientific research, is constantly dreaming, round dreams out.
1984, Zhong Yang graduated from the Junior Class of The Chinese University of Science and Technology and was assigned to wuhan Plant Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, when he hardly knew any plants because he was studying radio.
a year later, he reacquainted himwithe with the common and Latin names of all plants (the standard name for international botany communication).
" He had a computer and wondered how he could use it to study plants. Lei Yitung, an associate professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences at Fudan University who also works at The Plant Institute in Wuhan, said Zhong Yang especially likes bold assumptions.

with the design and realization of biodata model and information system, Zhong Yang is becoming more and more obsessed with his "cross-border" research.
the millennium, already the deputy director of Wuhan Plant Institute, he decided to give up the vice-office-level treatment, came to Shanghai Fudan University as a wholehearted professor, deep-cultivated molecular evolution analysis methods and applications.
"Tibet is a place that every botanist should go."
" Zhong Yang always said that the harsher the climate, the more research value plants are.
especially in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau where the vegetation is sparse and the cover is small, the distribution law of plants reflects the evolution of how plants adapt to the environment.
" At an altitude of 4,150 meters, he found the world's highest-altitude mustard.
" Yang Yongping, secretary of the Party Committee of the Kunming Plant Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the amoeba is a small rat in the plant world, and half of the world's botanists are studying it.
the results of the genetic adaptive evolution of the detection function on the basis of genome-wide sequencing show that The Tibetan amoeba is the original group of wild amoeba found in the world.
16 years of aid, bringing out the ecological "local team" on the long field trip to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Zhong Yang slowly realized that this magical land needs not only a scientist, but also an educator.
" many PhDs can be trained at Fudan University, but they are not necessarily so helpful in the high-labour, low-reward work of collecting seeds on the plateau.
" only by sowing the seeds of scientific research in the hearts of Tibetan students, leaving behind a scientific research team, can ecological research in Tibet go further.
has been carrying out scientific research cooperation with the University of Tibet since 2001 and has been the sixth, seventh and eighth batch of Tibetan cadres from the Central Group Department since 2010.
a brain haemorrhage in 2015, doctors warned him that Tibet could not go any more, but he did not listen, and then applied for the ninth batch of Tibetan cadres from the Central Group Department.
" was scheduled for September 28th, Mr. Zhong came to the school to participate in the first-class discipline construction seminar.
" said La Jun, a professor at the Faculty of Science at the University of Tibet, and still finds it difficult to accept the departure of his teacher.
Zhong Yang led the Tibetan University of Ecology to get the first master's point, the first doctoral point, the first natural science fund, and now selected as "double first-class".
the framework for development just set up, and their bell teacher suddenly left..." Any life has its end day, but I am not afraid, because my students will continue the path of scientific exploration.
" Zhong Yang once said this in the documentary "Sowing the Future."
now, his first Tibetan ph.D. Dr. Zasitren has become the director of the seed resource bank of the Tibet Plateau Research Institute of the Autonomous Region Science and Technology Department.
in front of a laboratory on the fourth floor of the Tibetan University Experimental Building, with the sign of the Ministry of Education's innovation team on "Biodiversity and Molecular Evolution of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau".
Lajong, the team received rolling support in 2010 and then rolling in 2016.
and what he can do now is to use the resources left by Mr. Zhong and redouble his efforts to carry out scientific research.
the Shanghai Museum of Nature is full of scientific joy" scientific research is a hard work, the characteristics of scientists are to extract joy from it, and then bring science and joy together.
" Zhong Yang asked himself.
, who serves as a consultant to the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and the Shanghai Museum of Nature, has sought to squeeze in the already-full schedule for 17 years, whether in exhibition projects, popular science activities or in guiding the staff of the Museum.
Zhong Yang's 50th birthday was celebrated at the Shanghai Museum of Nature.
" that day was the weekend, he and we discussed a day in graphic version, and then in the evening had to please eat Dong laishun, we know that his birthday.
" Shanghai Science and Technology Museum Research and Design Institute exhibition design director Bao Qi said that in the construction of the natural museum, Zhong Yang is the general manager of the graphic version, repeatedly hammered out every entry.
now almost half of the graphics in the museum were written by him personally, including the important elements of the hard-to-write terms and the "preface" and "postscripts".
at the Museum of Nature's African exhibition area, the introduction of Jin Hehuan came from the light of Zhong Yang.
the scented golden hury on the African savannah to prevent themselves from being eaten by animals, 10 cm long thorns, but can not stop the giraffe; How
describe this relationship? Zhong Yang thought of "Daisy and Knife", so there is the title "Golden Huan's 'Sword and Honey'".
he was a wise intellectual and a warm-hearted big brother.
learned that the Museum of Nature's display of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau creatures still lack of alpine frogs and hot spring snake specimens, he immediately said that in the wild can help find.
now, these two not-so-eye specimens can be seen in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau exhibition area, but Zhong Yang, as a specimen contributor, has not signed.
" August 25, Mr. Zhong came to the museum to do science lectures for middle school students summer camp, when there were too many people, I did not crowd up to say hello, anyway, old meet.
" said the last face of this million did not expect, Bao Qichoked.
for young people's science lectures, Zhong Yang every year to do dozens of sessions, the field is full.
people who can tell science interesting is too scarce, and his appeal with a kind of hand can ignite ordinary people's interest in science.
had not yet taken care of a fun-filled science lecture into a series of videos, Zhong Yang suddenly left.
at the memorial service held in Yinchuan, wreaths were laid in the square, people were moving, most of them came spontaneously to say goodbye to Mr. Zhong. Yang Yajun, president of the
Fudan University's School of Life Sciences, said he couldn't even buy a ticket from Shanghai to Yinchuan on the eve of the farewell ceremony.
some people are dead, he's alive.
in Shanghai, and in Tibet, Zhong Yang's career will continue.
and the seeds of science he planted in the minds of teenagers, like the seeds collected in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, will germinate one day in the future... Source: Science and Technology Daily.
