Grandma Cotton's attention comes from all directions.

Dialogue Grandma Cotton-I am like a fish without water when I leave the countryside.

2011June 07 15:54 Jingchu. com-Chutian Metropolis Daily [Weibo] Tang Yigui talks about Liang Hai.

Yesterday afternoon, the sun was blazing and the cotton fields were smoking. Li Wenying, a 78-year-old senior agronomist from zhijiang city, came to a cotton field in Group 2, Hongzhi Village, Dongshi Town to check the drought.

Not far away, a man dropped his farm tools and walked towards her with a big smile on his face. "Why haven't I seen you these days? I am afraid I will never see you again. " "I can't die, I can't die, I have to help you." Li Wenying looked up and smiled until his straw hat fell off his head.

The speaker told reporters, "My name is Fang, and I am 60 years old. My mother-in-law Li has helped me for more than ten years, and our friendship is very deep. "

"Farmers need technology, and I can help them."

Reporter: What is the topic that farmers talk to you the most?

Li Wenying: Cotton planting techniques, such as cotton field management, pest control and soil fertilization, are inseparable from farmers' words, and sometimes they are joking. Just like Fang's joke, I know they haven't seen me for days, and they are all thinking about me, hoping I can come every day.

Reporter: It shows that you are very important in the hearts of farmers.

Li Wenying: This is the main cotton producing area. Even if the cotton farmers are all right, as long as they see me, they will feel at ease. Even if they encounter insect disasters, they will have a bottom in their hearts. They know that I will guide them to treat insects scientifically.

Reporter: This also shows that you, a girl who grew up in the city, made the right choice.

Li Wenying: Yes, until today, farmers still need technicians like me very much. Let's talk about the cotton poisoning incident of Pan Desheng's family in Group 2, Hongzhi Village, Dongshi Town. 1June, 1985, the cotton on his 8 acres of land grew to half a person's height, and pests attacked. He used pesticides to kill insects overnight, and it didn't work even for two days. He was so anxious that people looked for me everywhere to check on him. I went to have a look. Cotton leaves were bitten by insects and turned yellow and withered. I told him it was pesticide. After 7 days, the leaves turned green.

Reporter: Planting technology is so important.

Li Wenying: Think about the needs of farmers. No matter how difficult it is, I made the right choice.

"I cried, but I couldn't bear to leave."

Reporter: You grew up in the city and lived in the countryside for many years. Do you have any grievances for so many years?

Li Wenying: I'm not used to this life. My husband and wife are separated, and my children are out of control. These are nothing, but sometimes there are some misunderstandings that make me feel uncomfortable.

When I was a technician at Bailizhou Farm, a farmer's 4 mu cotton field was not well drained and it was going to rain. I told him to dig a ditch as soon as possible to prepare for drainage, but he wouldn't listen. I told him several times that he was impatient and pushed me into the ditch with one hand, soaking wet. I fought back my tears, went back to the dormitory and cried under the quilt.

Reporter: Why did you choose to stay?

Li Wenying: I just can't bear to leave the countryside. I feel like a fish without water when I leave the countryside, and my knowledge is useless. I know the countryside can't live without me, but I really can't live without those peasant brothers and endless cotton fields. For decades, no matter how many grievances, as long as you go to the farmland, there is no other idea.

"The fruit of the land is my greatest compensation."

Reporter: Do you have any regrets?

Li Wenying: In September, 2007, the 50th anniversary party of college students made me feel a lot.

At that time, I was the poorest of 20 students who returned to Huanong, my alma mater, and the only one who wore liberation shoes. Others, some go abroad, some stay in the city, some are officials, some are in business, and I am the only one who is poor in the countryside. Shortly after we met, monitor Zhou dragged me to buy me new clothes. Guo in the dormitory took off her fashionable coat and tried to put it on for me. Some students offered me money, but I refused them all.

I was very sad. I know that my classmates' concern is actually pity for me.

In the second day's speech, when I came on stage to talk about decades of experience in serving rural farmers, the scene was very quiet and everyone listened carefully. When I talked about the success of "Ezhi No.3" cotton breeding in 10, the applause was very warm and lasted for several minutes. At that time, many students cried, I know, they were proud of me.

Reporter: We are all proud of you.

Li Wenying: The fruits growing on the land are my greatest compensation.

20 1 1 06 08 07:33 Three Gorges Media Network-Three Gorges Daily

The reporter learned from Zhijiang last night that the Zhijiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government set up the Li Wenying Fund to support Li Wenying, a "farmer volunteer".

The person in charge of zhijiang city revealed in an interview with reporters last night that the fund named after Li Wenying plans to raise 500,000 yuan, including financial input, mainly to help Li Wenying and other scientific and technological personnel to promote science and technology for farmers.

It is reported that the fund named after individuals mainly supports agricultural science and technology workers, which is the first time in Zhijiang history.

In addition, the municipal government decided to set up Li Wenying Studio in the Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and set up an agricultural science and technology team to better provide technical services for farmers.

Li Wenying, Grandma Cotton: Girls should stop going my way (photo)

On June 7th, big chu network 1953 entered Wuhan Huazhong Agricultural University and graduated 1957. In the era when college students became scarce resources, she stuck to her faith and took root in grass-roots farmland. From field to field, from Yichang to Zhijiang, Li Wenying devoted all his life energy and care for his family to agricultural research and practice.

Sincere, peaceful and beneficial recognition

We called her "Grandma Cotton" and her response was a sincere smile. "I have nothing here, one is a return to the party and the people, the other is my hobby, nothing!" Li Wenying spoke quickly and wrote his feelings on his face. She said she was such a simple person. "I'm so straightforward that sometimes people don't like me." But in our eyes, "Grandma Cotton" always keeps a peaceful smile.

Yu Changhai, the village director of the second group of Hongzhi Village in Dongshi Town, zhijiang city, was in the 1990s/kloc-0. Talking about Li Wenying, he said emotionally: "I can see her in the fields almost every day during the critical period of cotton growth every year, no matter how bad the weather is, she will come. On such a hot day, she counted cotton peaches alone in the field. Sometimes she asks someone to help count cotton peaches, which costs 100 yuan in half a day. There are new pests and diseases every year, and she always reminds us in time. With Li Zaicun, we have a bottom in our hearts. "

"She never eats or drinks tea in villagers' homes. Every time she comes, she brings a small bag with dry food in it. Many villagers said that Li Popo really didn't know why it was so hard, but we all clearly saw that the crops were growing better and better, the income was increasing, and more and more merchants came to see us. " Yu Changhai said: The value of Li Wenying in Hongzhi Village is obvious to all, and it can be counted.

A humble view of right and wrong is a harvest of gratitude.

"Red and expert", many people say that Li Wenying is stupid. She insisted that she had surpassed the original bottom line and wrote her life on the land. No flowers, no applause, no shouts, even relatives don't understand and complain. However, "Grandma Cotton" still walks steadily in the crop fields as always, sending packages of seasonal medicines to the villagers, watching the cotton grow inch by inch and watching the fruits harvest season by season. Moistening the village silently, the clouds are light and the wind is light for most of my life. It was not until her story was published that Li Wenying's 70-year-old sister cried, "I finally got to know her sister. She is so difficult to get along with, it's amazing. "

"I am very happy to see farmers increase their income by planting improved varieties. This is the greatest satisfaction. Yes, many young people can't understand the ideas of our older generation now, but growing up from that era of' red and expert', we have received this kind of education and are used to it. "

Li Wenying, 78, is still delivering pesticides to the villagers in Hongzhi Village today. When she handed two packets of selected medicines to the villagers, her habitual instructions made people feel at ease and considerate. When asked if she would accept an apprentice, she said, "I hope girls don't go my way, because it takes a lot of effort and they may lose a lot." She said words of warning, but firmly insisted that this is responsibility and this is character. (Zhang Yong, big chu network)

An old man in Hubei was called a "farmer volunteer" for 2 1 year free field guidance.

2011060713: 46 China News Network Shangguan Chun Qing Cai Junting Liu Weidong

Li Wenying inspected the growth of citrus in dongshi town, zhijiang city.

Li Wenying, a 78-year-old retired senior agronomist in Zhijiang, Hubei Province, selflessly dedicated the sunset years of 2 1 year to the golden fields, in exchange for a bumper harvest in the cotton area and the love of cotton farmers. People awarded her a fashionable and lofty honor: "peasant volunteer". Since 2 1 year, Li Wenying has brought its own steamed bread and water to spread technology in the fields free of charge, helping farmers to increase their income by nearly 10 million yuan.

"Yesterday's shower didn't go through, so we should continue to irrigate manure to fight drought and replenish water." It's sunny after the rain and the sun is like fire. He came to zhijiang city Bailizhou Cotton Seed Farm and the second group of Hongzhi Village in Dongshi Town successively to inspect the cotton seedlings of farmers such as Li, Zhang Qiping, etc., and instructed them to replenish seedlings, conserve moisture, irrigate and fertilize, and distributed more than 40 copies of Zhijiang Plant Protection.

This is Li Wenying's12nd outing in May. "The drought is coming, and Li He is more anxious than us. She is our' farmer volunteer'. " Zhang Qiping, 56, said.

Li Wenying was born in Wuhan. 1957 After graduating from Huazhong Agricultural College, he was assigned to Yichang. 1990 After retiring from zhijiang city Agricultural Technology Extension Center in April, she began to provide free scientific and technological services for farmers.

Since 2 1 year, Li Wenying has insisted on investigating the seedling situation in the field, measuring the insect situation, guiding farmers to strengthen seedlings in time, preventing insects and explaining the use of fertilizers. Shan Yuhong, deputy director of zhijiang city Agricultural Technology Service Center, said that Li Wenying stayed in the village for more than 2,500 days after retirement, especially during the critical period of cotton growth.

Li Wenying introduced, demonstrated and popularized 33 new cotton varieties such as "Zhong Mian 12", popularized more than 50 new drugs and fertilizers, and adopted new cotton technologies introduced by China cotton and Hubei plant protection. At the same time, with the detailed field test results, a batch of unsuitable seeds, drugs and fertilizers were rejected, which reduced the risk of farmers.

According to the incomplete statistics of zhijiang city Agriculture Bureau, in the past 2 1 year, Li Wenying has held more than 0/00 technical lectures/kloc-0 in five towns including Bailizhou, Dongshi and Gujiadian, covering an area of 1.200 mu, contacting more than 400 farmers, radiating nearly 10,000 farmers and helping to increase income by nearly 10 million yuan. However, her monthly retirement salary is only 1.600 yuan, and the expenses for transportation, experimental assistants' salary, poverty alleviation seeds, fertilizer and posted materials are not less than 1 10,000 yuan.

Some people think it's stupid, but Huang, a peasant woman who is familiar with her Hongzhi village, said, "Li Zhen is not simple. She lives in a two-bedroom apartment, rarely adds new clothes and rarely eats meat dishes. Xia Tian brought her own steamed bread and water. We invited her to eat a meal and drink water, and she didn't move once. "

On May 18, the year before last, Li Wenying accidentally fell into a weed-covered puddle one and a half meters deep while inspecting the fertilizer efficiency of Nonggeda in the rape field. The adventure didn't stop her. In her work summary of that year, she wrote: "If the water in the pit is deeper, maybe I will be' glorious', but I don't regret it ... I am determined to continue to serve farmers for free and make the last effort to build a new countryside!"

Zhang Changer, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, instructed: Grandma Mian's deeds are vivid and touching.

2011June 07 14:07 Jingchu Net-Chutian Metropolis Daily [Weibo] Wang Juan

Zhang Changer, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, spoke highly of our series of reports on "Grandma Cotton". Yesterday, Zhang Changer gave instructions on this report of this newspaper: "Grandma Cotton's deeds are vivid and touching, and can be reported in depth."

Li Wenying, a retired senior agronomist and member of the leading group of zhijiang city Agriculture Bureau, has been working at the grassroots level for decades, serving "agriculture, countryside and farmers". With his wisdom and sweat, he made selfless contributions to the construction of agriculture, countryside and farmers in our province. After this touching story was reported by this newspaper, it aroused strong repercussions from all walks of life.

Over the past few days, readers have been deeply moved and praised "Grandma Cotton" for reflecting the true colors of party member. Farmers who once received Li Wenying's guidance to increase their income took the initiative to find our reporter to tell the touching story of Li Wenying.

Yu Dazhao, vice president of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences: Preferential treatment encourages grassroots agricultural technicians.

2011June 07 14: 19 Jingchu Net-Chutian Metropolis Daily [Weibo] Zhou Zhitao

Nearly a thousand people in our province are engaged in the promotion of new technologies and varieties of grass-roots agriculture every year. They are not only guides to help farmers get rich, but also the vanguard of agricultural departments to understand the first-line production of agriculture. Grass-roots agricultural extension workers play an irreplaceable role in the construction of agriculture, countryside and farmers. However, grassroots work is very hard and personal income is very limited. It takes considerable perseverance to persist.

According to the statistics of the Science and Technology Department of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, there are more than 100 agricultural technologies and new varieties that can be transformed and popularized in agricultural production in our province every year. However, due to the shortage of agricultural extension personnel at the grass-roots level, the actual effective conversion rate is less than 50%, far below the level of 80% abroad.

During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, we plan to further change the mode of agricultural extension at the grassroots level and encourage experts to go to the grassroots level through financial and policy support. In the future, more grass-roots scientific and technological personnel like "Grandma Cotton" will receive preferential treatment.

Professor Zhang Xianlong, Huanong: Agricultural technology is related to agricultural development.

2011June 07 14: 16 Jingchu. com-Chutian Metropolis Daily [Weibo]

Teacher Li Wenying is a typical representative of grass-roots agricultural technicians, and her personality and mind are admirable.

Agriculture is the cornerstone of the country's long-term stability and sustainable development, and it is also a very difficult industry. Traditional agriculture has developed into modern agricultural biotechnology, during which a large number of high-quality varieties have been cultivated, but science and technology cannot be transformed into productivity without entering the front line of production. Therefore, the stability of agriculture is inseparable from the efforts of grassroots agricultural technicians.

Cotton production has many inputs and high technical requirements. Teacher Li Wenying has always been at the forefront in important periods such as cotton seedling stage, flower and boll stage, and it took 10 years to successfully select new cotton varieties with disease resistance, which is commendable.

The value and significance of human life cannot be judged by money. Helping others is a good embodiment. Teacher Li Wenying set an example for our agricultural scientists and technicians. It is hoped that there will be many agricultural technicians who take root at the grass-roots level and serve agriculture, countryside and farmers like Mr. Li Wenying, and the state should also pay attention to improving the working and living conditions of agricultural technicians at the grass-roots level.

Liu Tianxi, director of the Finance and Economics Office of the Provincial Party Committee: Grandma Cotton touched us.

2011June 07 17:47 Jingchu Net-Chutian Metropolis Daily [Weibo] Wang Juan

"The 78-year-old age, 52 years of agricultural technology service, and 2 1 year of voluntary cotton care are just a few simple figures, but they tell the feelings of' Cotton Grandma' Li Wenying for more than half a century." The series of reports on "Grandma Cotton" launched by this newspaper has aroused great concern from Liu Tianxi, deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee and director of the financial and economic office of the provincial party committee.

Yesterday, Liu Tianxi said in an interview with reporters that the "three rural issues" are related to the overall development of the cause of the party and the country. Li Wenying, full of love for agriculture and deep affection for farmers, dedicated his heart to the hot land of the countryside and set up a tall image of party member in the new era. "She touched us deeply, was deeply educated and worth learning."

Liu Tianxi said, we should learn from Li Wenying's unswerving determination to take root in the countryside. A city girl who grew up in Hankou, a college graduate and a retired cadre, has a thousand reasons and a thousand opportunities to return to Wuhan, the provincial capital, and leave the countryside, but she has stayed in the countryside and cotton fields for more than half a century for her beloved agricultural technology. Like Comrade Li Wenying, all party member, especially young people, should be brave enough to go to the grassroots and where they are most needed, exercise their will in a difficult environment and make contributions in difficult places; We should learn from Li Wenying's tireless dedication to agriculture. In 10, Li Wenying successfully bred a disease-resistant cotton variety "Eji03". After retirement, he still couldn't let go of his lifelong major in agricultural technology and taught farmers crop cultivation techniques for free. Accelerate the transformation of agricultural development mode, strive to get through the "last mile" of agricultural science and technology popularization, and give full play to the role of science and technology in promoting agricultural production; We should learn from Li Wenying's persistent pursuit of serving farmers. She got up early in the dark, braved the heat and high temperature, helped farmers to try improved varieties and resist pests and diseases, and wrote her achievements on farmers' income books. It is her greatest satisfaction to increase farmers' income by planting improved varieties. This fully shows her noble spiritual pursuit and strong personality charm. We should keep in mind the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, constantly realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, do everything possible to help and guide farmers to develop production, accelerate farmers to get rid of poverty and become rich, and lay a solid foundation for building a well-off society in an all-round way.

Liu Tianxi said that the advanced deeds and lofty spirit of Comrade Li Wenying reflected the true colors of Communist party member. At present, the agricultural foundation is still weak and needs to be strengthened most; Rural development is still lagging behind and needs the most support; It is still difficult for farmers to increase their income, which needs to be accelerated most. We should learn from Comrade Li Wenying's advanced deeds and lofty spirit, conscientiously sum up and popularize the experience of the activity of "ten thousand cadres entering ten thousand villages and ten thousand households", constantly inspire and lead the vast number of party member in the province to go deep into the countryside and the masses, and create more brilliant achievements in promoting agricultural production, increasing farmers' income and rural prosperity.

Zhu Yingguo, "Farmland Academician" of Wuhan University, praised "Grandma Cotton"

2011060714: 44 Jingchu Net-Chutian Metropolis Daily [Weibo] Chen Quanyou

"It's not easy, it's not simple!" Yesterday morning, Professor Zhu Yingguo, an expert in plant genetics and breeding, was still busy in the office of the School of Life Sciences of Wuhan University. After carefully reading every report about "Grandma Cotton" Li Wenying, he exclaimed.

Zhu Yingguo, who grew up in a poor mountainous area, had a special affection for farmland since he was a child. He regards rice research as his lifelong career. The story of Grandma Cotton reminds Zhu Yingguo of the hardships he has experienced: basking in the sun and eating insects in the farmland all day; Move the bed to the edge of the field, can't sleep at night, hold a long pole, and fight fiercely with voles; Running around Hubei, Hainan and Guangxi, spending three springs a year like migratory birds ... "I can best understand the hardships of working in the fields for decades, but Sister Li Wenying is definitely more difficult than me. She is six years older than me, and she is still a woman! " Zhu Yingguo felt with emotion.

Zhu Yingguo said that the most touching thing about "Grandma Cotton" is that she regards cotton as her career. Whether on the job or retired, she can devote herself wholeheartedly and selflessly. "As party member, her spirit is worth studying hard." "Agricultural production in China is facing a major proposition, that is, mechanization, automation and modernization are urgently needed. The vast rural grassroots need more young people to take root and contribute. " Zhu Yingguo called on all young researchers to follow the example of "Grandma Cotton".

President of Huazhong Agricultural University sent a letter to Li Wenying: Grandma Cotton touched teachers and students.

2011060714: 41Jingchu. com-Chutian Metropolis Daily [Weibo] Tang Yigui talks about Liang Hai.

Yesterday, "Grandma Cotton" Li Wenying received a letter from Deng Xiuxin, president of Huazhong Agricultural University, in which Deng Xiuxin praised Li Wenying as an outstanding representative of Huanong alumni.

In the letter, President Deng Xiuxin said, "When I read your story in the newspaper, I was deeply moved as the teachers and students of the whole school. You have interpreted the spirit of Huanong with practical actions, which is the glory of your alma mater and an example for us to learn from. I hope you take care of yourself and live a long and healthy life. "
