Comprehensive report on agriculture, rural areas and farmers express: at the end of 1980s, Chen Jianping, a researcher of Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, discovered barley and sexual mosaic virus in cereal polymyxa for the first time when he was studying at Lobsang Agricultural Experimental Station in England. thus revealing the direct evidence of fungal transmission of plant viruses has been praised by international academia as one of the major breakthroughs in this field in the past 30 years.

In 2011, after Chen Jianping was elected academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and academician of the Academy of Sciences of developing countries, he not only continued to carry out research on the occurrence of plant viruses and green prevention and control, but also at the level of macro agricultural strategy, to explore and practice to solve the shortcomings of the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers in China. After more than 30 years of scientific and technological life, Academician Chen Jianping has always been responsible for the nature of agriculture, as well as the pursuit and mission of science.

A major breakthrough in 30 years and a decision to return to China

In June 1989, Chen Jianping came to Lobsang Agricultural Experimental Station in England as a visiting scholar. After completing all the scientific research tasks in three months, he said to his mentor, Professor Adams, "I'm going to study the relationship between plant viruses and fungi."

"it's too hard!" His mentor, Adams, said: "my teacher has been a teacher for more than 10 years, and I have been a teacher for 17 years without success."

The newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and Chen Jianping persuaded Adams.

"I took a picture of the virus, and I made it!" One day, Chen Jianping rushed into Adams' office with a picture. Hearing Chen Jianping's exclamation, Adams did not look back, took a pencil in his right hand, combed his hair slowly and said, "if you think they are viruses, you need to prove them."... "

The diameter of fungal spores is only 5 microns. In order to find the virus in fungal spores, fungal spores must be cut into ultra-thin sections with a thickness of only 50 nm and observed under electron microscope. In order to confirm the existence of the virus, Chen Jianping sliced more than 10,000 pieces day and night in the following nine months. Looking at the microscope for a long time, Chen Jianping's eyes were swollen. With a vision of 1.5, he has been nearsighted 300 degrees since then and put on myopic glasses.

The difficult problem of 30 years was finally broken by Chen Jianping.

In the winter of 1995, Chen Jianping returned to the Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences without hesitation. The only "special treatment" was that Chen Chuanqun, the then president, ordered him a Science and Technology Daily. Chen Jianping said: "according to the salary level at that time, I worked in the UK for a year, but I could earn most of my life's salary in China, but what one pursues is not just economic treatment." Chen Jianping has no regrets.

Chen Jianping has returned to China for 20 years and has trained more than 50 doctors and masters. With world-class innovation achievements, the national innovation team in key research fields led by Chen Jianping has stood at the world commanding height in the field of plant virus research:

The occurrence regularity and pathogenesis of five important rice and wheat viruses were revealed, and the established green disease prevention and control technology was widely used in disease areas throughout the country, a large number of advanced detection techniques were established, and dozens of new pathogens of plant diseases were identified. thousands of batches of alien invasive plant pathogens were intercepted, and the core technology was developed for plant disease quarantine and inspection in China. The industrialization technology of virus-free tissue culture and rapid propagation of more than 500 kinds of flowers and traditional Chinese medicine has been established, and 25 kinds of new products of flower tissue culture seedlings have been developed, which are exported to Europe and the United States every year. Millions of high-quality flower tissue culture seedlings are exported every year, which promotes the healthy development of tissue culture plantlet industrialization of horticultural plants in China. In terms of research on fungal wheat viruses, from 1996 to 2005, they published 28% of the world's SCI papers, and from 2006 to 2015, the proportion rose to more than 60%. They won 1 National Science and Technology Progress Award, 4 second prizes, and 9 first-class prizes for provincial scientific and technological progress.

Chen Jianping's achievements are respected by the world. In 2012, Chen Jianping led a delegation to revisit Scotland, and the institute hoisted the five-star red flag for him. A grand and luxurious reception dinner was held for him on a scientific expedition ship Discovery built more than a hundred years ago.

60 million left-behind Children and the New Mission of an Academician

One day in 2012, Chen Jianping went to help the poor in Chun'an, Zhejiang Province. in a farmhouse, he asked a little girl, "what do you want most?" The little girl did not look up: "pecans are ripe." Chen Jianping asked, "do you like pecans?" The little girl said, "I don't want to eat it, because when the pecans are ripe, my parents can go home."

"hearing this, I thought that there are 370 million farmers working outside the country, and there are 60 million left-behind children who miss their parents at home. It is the little girl who inspired me to take on greater social responsibility and historical mission." 'i was thinking about doing one thing well in my life from "I" to "T", Chen Jianping said. "I" is "I", do their own scientific research work well, and then become a "T" (Team, team), lead the team well. Chen Jianping said: now we have to do two things for the rest of my life, and we also need to explore ways to solve the shortcomings of China's rural development.

After several years of painstaking research, he put forward the strategic idea of "agricultural complex-- a new carrier of regional modern agricultural development". With systematic thinking, we have studied the combination of punches to solve the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers from the aspects of the integration of diversified industries, the cultivation of business subjects, quality and safety control, scientific and technological support and guidance, Internet + circulation, investment and financing, and policy innovation for agriculture, rural areas and farmers. has been invited to more than a dozen provinces and cities to make special reports on the exploration and practice of agricultural complex.

In recent years, he has joined hands with Hangzhou Lancheng and Greentown groups to explore and practice agricultural complexes, and has piloted the construction of agricultural towns in Fenghua, Shengzhou, Yuhang, Zhejiang, and other places, and plans to build 100 ideal rural towns through more than a decade of efforts, so as to influence and promote the construction of thousands of rural towns across the country. Chen Jianping said affectionately that by that time, the production, life, and livelihood of China's 200 to 300 million farmers will be greatly improved.

The coir is a farmer, and the misty rain means that the spirit of scientific research can be passed on over the years in order to achieve a career. "A misty rain will lead a lifetime," Chen Jianping said. "this is my motto." (our reporter eunuch Jianxin)
