Why do some people think highly of academicians' academic achievements?

In the past, we were awed when we heard scholars and professors, and even more astounding when we heard academicians. With my superficial and limited knowledge, I think the person who can become a professor or even an academician must be someone who has read many books on poetry and has a particularly high academic level. Otherwise, how can you become a professor or even an academician? As a child, I heard that Hua didn't go to any university, but through self-study, he not only became a professor at the highest institution in China, but also became a world-class mathematician by virtue of his mathematical talent. It is said that during the Soviet period, Soviet scientists wanted to build satellites and spaceships. The most famous scientists in the Soviet Union are trying to calculate the trajectory data of spacecraft and satellites. Just when they were at their wits' end, someone suddenly thought of Professor Hua, so Stalin invited him. With his genius, Professor Hua worked out those complicated data with only one abacus, which made the mathematicians in the Soviet Union stunned and finally admired them.

However, forgive my ignorance. I only know that Hua is a professor, but I don't know if he is an academician.

However, it was only after reading the newspaper yesterday that I realized that it is really great to be an academician in China, but either someone has a first-class academic level or an academician. According to Yangcheng Evening News (March 20th, 2008), Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice" as a scholar of Chinese Academy of Sciences, lost in Guangzhou this morning: being an academician is not my purpose.

The article said that more than ten years ago, Yuan Longping was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the recommendation of some scientists, but he failed. As far as I know, hybrid rice was first cultivated by Yuan Longping, and his scientific contribution not only made great contributions to grain production in China, but also made great contributions to world grain. Look, if you remember that before the 1970s, the yield per mu was 300 Jin, but now it is generally above 1000 Jin, then you can imagine his contribution to solving the problem of China people's eating. However, even an outstanding scientist who has made such a great contribution to the world, the "father of hybrid rice", will lose his name in Sun Shan when he runs for the China Academy of Sciences. This is really surprising.

Is it sad? Answer: "Yes!"

However, Lu Yongxiang, president of China Academy of Sciences, said that this was a "historical misunderstanding".

Long Yuan replied, "Very humorous".

I said, it's ironic. A person's contribution to science must be tested by the world, not by who decides to close the door. Professor Yuan Longping has won 14 international awards and was elected as a foreign academician of the American Academy of Sciences, which proves Professor Yuan's influence abroad. Imagine that even the United States, the most scientifically developed country in the world, can choose him as a foreign academician, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences has rejected him? Are you an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at a higher level than the American Academy of Sciences? Is it world class?

Therefore, I agree with Professor Yuan that there are "some opinions and some unhealthy tendencies" in the selection of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. For example, some local awards are actually awards. From the leader of the supervisor to the level ...

Ha ha! What about academicians? Maybe so-and-so. Whose doctoral student is it? Whose son is XXX? So the number of academicians is full. Yuan Longping is the father of hybrid rice.

Fortunately, Professor Yuan doesn't care. He said that the academician is not my purpose, but to continue to study new hybrid rice and continue to solve the problem of cooking without rice for the people of the world.

Professor Yuan is a good example of serving the people wholeheartedly!

Everyone pays high tribute to him!

Yuan Longping: He lost the Chinese Academy of Sciences three times, but he was an academician of the American Academy of Sciences.

20 1010 June14 June1210 This article is taken from China Weekly No.9 2010 Author: Li Jiawei Original title: Happy Old Man Yuan Longping.

Core Tip: Before 1994, Yuan Longping applied for being an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences three times, but all failed. 1994 After the establishment of China Academy of Engineering, Hunan Province recommended for the fourth time to apply for an academician of China Academy of Engineering, and finally 1995 was elected. So far, Yuan Longping, who is not an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has won the title of foreign academician of the American Academy of Sciences with more than 200 Nobel Prize winners.

He is a world-renowned "father of hybrid rice" and an 80-year-old healthy, competitive and happy old man.

On his 80th birthday, Yuan Longping received three special gifts: a congratulatory letter from the Prime Minister, a special party entitled "For the Harvest of the Earth" on Hunan Satellite TV, and a heavy autobiography of Yuan Longping.

"Teacher Yuan doesn't want to do such a big job." Dr Xin Ye Yun, a researcher at Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center, told China Weekly.

Xin's other identity is Yuan Longping's secretary, from 1996 to 14. She knows Yuan Longping's temper well enough: "He doesn't like publicity. On his 80th birthday, we plan to hold an academic seminar on hybrid rice. As a result, the national leaders sent a congratulatory letter. "

New Ye Yun is also the author of Yuan Longping's oral autobiography. She said that in the process of writing, there is not much time to sit down and communicate with Yuan Longping, because I have learned enough in my ordinary life. More importantly, she has mastered a principle: true and vivid, not excessively "beautifying".

This is in line with Yuan Longping's wishes. Yuan Longping once expressed his concern more than once: he was afraid that others would write him as a typical academic master. When talking about academics, he was unsmiling, steady and always righteous.

Obviously, the new Ye Yun has accomplished the task well. Her friend got the book on the first day and stayed up all night reading until three in the morning. The next day, she called her excitedly: "As for Mr. Yuan's biography, your book is one of the best. In the past, some books described Mr. Yuan as "Marxism-Leninism", with many exaggerations and fabrications. Yours is a real and vivid Yuan Longping. "

New Ye Yun thinks that he is just a "real account": "Teacher Yuan often says that he is just a happy old man, grinning happily when he says it."

Therefore, outside the context of "Father of Hybrid Rice", "God of Rice" and "Contemporary Shennong", we re-comb Yuan Longping, an ordinary "happy old man", and congratulate him on his 80th birthday.

You like to learn what you like.

On September 17, Yuan Longping took the researchers from the Hybrid Rice Center to Longhui County Base to see the public relations demonstration of super hybrid rice with a yield of 900 kilograms per mu. At noon, I went to a hotel to eat. On arriving there, Yuan Longping said to the people around him, "This hotel has changed its name. Originally called St. Petersburg, it is now called Huayao Mountain Villa. "

At dinner, Yuan Longping told New Ye Yun that they talked about Leningrad from St. Petersburg, Lithuania from Leningrad, and Puerto Rico from Lithuania at the recent Turkish Men's Basketball World Championships.

"Puerto Rican basketball is good. A little Puerto Rico won China. " However, Xin Yeyun said, "This is not the point. Teacher Yuan said that Puerto Rico is equivalent to Hainan Island in China, and it is a good base for breeding in the south. An American cooperative company goes to Puerto Rico for breeding every year, just like we go to Hainan. Latitude, area, population, weather and specialties of Puerto Rico. He is like a bamboo tube. "

XinYe cloud they used to Yuan Longping "like a computer to tell them about literature, history and geography". They once wanted to know how Yuan Longping did it. According to Yuan Longping's own statement, "whatever you like, you are particularly willing to learn".

Yuan Longping was poor at math when he was a child, but he was particularly good at chemical geography and English. The difference lies in interest. He said: "I don't like studying mathematics, such as trigonometry, which gives me a headache." One of our classmates is very good at math. He can't swim. I taught him to swim, and he helped me solve the problem. As a result, he learned to swim, and my math remained the same. "Now this classmate in Yuan Longping is an academician of China Academy of Engineering, and won the first prize in the swimming competition held by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

Yuan Longping's failure to be an academician is a question of the evaluation mechanism.

201010141:33 Beijing daily printed * * * with 79 comments.

Recently, I read a news that Yuan Longping, the father of rice, repeatedly refused to comment on academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is said that his method is not innovative; Moreover, the United States recently awarded him a foreign academician of the American Academy of Sciences-more than 20 Nobel Prize winners! In this regard, Lu Yongxiang, president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that it was a pity that Yuan Longping was qualified as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It is no accident that Yuan Longping was not elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but something went wrong with the evaluation mechanism of "innovation". If something goes wrong with the mechanism, Yuan Longping will not be the only one who is wronged. There will be other Yuan Longping, Yuan Longping, Yuan Longping and Yuan Longping, who have suffered similar grievances in different fields and at different levels and "regretted" again and again. If we can't see this clearly, treat it as an isolated phenomenon, and try to make Yuan Longping an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences next time, it would be really a pity.

A person's cleverness lies in his ability to draw inferences from others, otherwise he is too stupid. If we can learn from the failure of Academician Yuan Longping and actively promote the reform of scientific research system and evaluation mechanism, similar regrets will gradually decrease. Otherwise, press the gourd float ladle, and the "regret" will unfortunately continue, appearing for the second, third, fourth and fifth time. (Ji Liqun)

What does Yuan Longping's failure as an academician reflect in China today?

[Original] [Top] [Essence] [Recommended] Published on: 2008-03-1510: 48: 34.

Yuan Longping was not elected as an academician of China Academy of Sciences. In the face of the defeat of today's world-class scientists, some people say that it is only a historical regret. The word "regret" lightly dissolves the disadvantages of selecting academicians by the Chinese Academy of Sciences! Perhaps researchers in China today value titles more than anything else. A few years ago, academicians occupied an extremely lofty position in people's hearts. At that time, academicians were really outstanding representatives among top scientists. Although they are not worthy of the name, they are a minority after all. However, once honor brings material benefits other than honor, purity will be defiled by filth, and the hall will be filled with copper smell. In the competition between Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering, some people think that any means can be used.

Sadly, there is no room for adulteration in science. If you cheat science, science will cheat yourself. The repetition of historical regret will make the scientific spirit and innovation ability of a country or nation flow to the East in the historical trend and never return. Therefore, in order to be elected as an academician, it is against science to use state funds to open the way. The academician system in China, accompanied by huge economic benefits, leads to the imbalance among the scientific, engineering and surrounding classes. For example, in the fields of humanities, philosophy, art and religion, there are no honorary titles corresponding to scientific academicians and engineering academicians, and master experts in these fields consciously lag behind scientists. Take the field of traditional Chinese medicine as an example. Without experimental research results, you don't want to be an academician at all, forcing vivid medical experts into executioners who break rats' heads all day. As some people have said, historical regret made Yuan Longping not become an academician, and historical regret also made many people become academicians.

Yuan Longping didn't become an academician, maybe he didn't have time to do other people's work, maybe he didn't understand the hidden rules of this industry, or maybe he didn't care. In short, such a regrettable thing can give the world a good taste and a reference for future generations, but one thing can't be changed. People engaged in scientific research will be abandoned by science if they don't follow the scientific laws and rules.

Yuan Longping relives the loss of an academician: Being an academician is not the purpose.

Jinyang. Com- Yangcheng Evening News.

Our reporter Deng Qiong, Que Daohua and intern Wei Yingzhe reported that this morning, Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice" who was invited to attend the forum of Guangdong Association for Science and Technology, generously responded to the topic that he was unsuccessful as an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences more than ten years ago.

During the two sessions, the discussion that Yuan Longping was defeated as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences more than ten years ago attracted attention, and many netizens and the public regarded it as "the sorrow of China's scientific community". Lu Yongxiang, vice chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) and president of China Academy of Sciences, said that this was a "historical misunderstanding". Yuan Lao, who was in the whirlpool, came to Guangzhou this time and took time to "speak" for the first time before the lecture.

Yuan Longping said with a smile that "historical misunderstanding" is humorous. "It happened more than ten years ago. At that time, a reporter said that my defeat was more shocking than the election of others. "However, Yuan Lao's attitude is very relaxed:" I didn't become an academician, which still shows that my level is not enough. I should study hard and work hard in the future. But one thing, I didn't try to be an academician. That was my attitude then, and it is still the same now. "

Yuan Longping said that he never volunteered to run for an academician, but was recommended by others, and he never ran again after losing the election. He also believes that there may still be some opinions and unhealthy trends in the selection of academicians of the two academies, such as that under the same conditions, scholars in central units have higher votes than local ones. "But I don't care so much, I just do my own research. I was elected as a foreign academician of the American Academy of Sciences by others. My purpose is not to be an improper academician. I am engaged in super hybrid rice. My aim is to make new achievements and contribute to food security. That is my greatest comfort. "

Academician Yuan also said, "Now there are 14 international awards for me, probably the most in the agricultural field. But I'm not proud of it, especially I can't be cocky. I have to be a man with my tail between my legs, haha! "

Guangdong Association for Science and Technology Forum is a special report or seminar on science and technology sponsored by Guangdong Association for Science and Technology, and has held 19 issues so far. The theme of Yuan Longping's speech is super hybrid rice and food security.
