Liu Weimin

Liu Weimin, male, deputy director of Bozhou Institute of Agricultural Sciences, has been engaged in crop cultivation and wheat breeding research for a long time. He has successively won the first prize of provincial science and technology progress award, the second prize of national science and technology progress award, national outstanding scientific and technological workers and national outstanding professional and technical talents. The 2010 Anhui top ten news and 2010 Anhui top ten news figures award ceremony was held in Hefei Grand Theater. Liu Weimin, an expert in wheat breeding, was elected as "the top ten news figures in Anhui in 2010".

Character experience

In the spring of 1953, Liu Weimin was born in the village of qingtuan Town, Guoyang County, Anhui Province. In order to make a living, his father left his wife and children behind and went to Jilin alone. His mother, together with young Liu Weimin and his sister, worked as a primary school teacher in Xiyang primary school in Woyang county. Due to the lack of oxygen caused by dystocia at birth, Liu Weimin was very weak since he was a child. Others had a cold for three or five days, but he couldn't get well after ten and a half days of injection and water suspension. At the age of 14, a sudden serious illness made Xiao Weimin's height forever fixed at 1.4 meters. Poor rural life makes xiaoweimin realize how important food is to human life! In 1974, Liu Weimin, a senior high school student, visited the Institute of Agricultural Sciences of Guoyang County under the organization of the school. In the experimental field, he saw different varieties of wheat. He had such a dream that if he could cultivate thousands of kilograms of wheat per mu, it would be great, so that my relatives and neighbors would not suffer from hunger. From then on, Liu Weimin told himself in his heart: in order that the villagers will not be hungry any more, we must study high-yield wheat varieties! In 1978, opportunities finally favored him, and he was admitted to the university with excellent results. When filling in the application form, Liu Weimin resolutely chose the Agronomy Major of Anhui Labor University, which is related to agriculture. He will spend his whole life to study the increase of grain production and income, so that the world will no longer lose their precious lives due to famine, and fulfill his childhood wish with practice. In 1982, Liu Weimin graduated from university. He decided to go to Guoyang Agricultural Science Institute. To choose the Institute of Agricultural Sciences is to choose to go down to the fields and to live in the muddy water that faces the Loess and faces the sky like farmers. Liu Weimin decided to start with wheat breeding to realize his ideal of life.

Personage introduction

Liu Weimin, male, born in April 1953, is deputy director of Bozhou Institute of Agricultural Sciences. Without any modern equipment and funds, he has been at the forefront of scientific research at the grass-roots level for 26 years, quietly contributing to the increase of farmers' income. Liu Weimin is only 1.4 meters tall. This short "giant" overcame the difficulties of shortage of funds and poor equipment, repaired the old and made good use of the old, and started his own business. The oven was not hot, and the pointer of the analytical balance was out of order. Liu Weimin repaired it by himself. Within a few days, these instruments could be used again. Breeding needs seed bags, so Liu Weimin finds old envelopes to "renovate" and buys kraft paper to paste. The experimental area needed labels, so Liu Weimin went to the paper mill to pick up pieces of hard paper used as garbage to make labels. The biggest problem Liu Weimin encountered was the lack of parental materials. To this end, he wrote letters to agricultural science institutes all over the country asking for improved seeds, but they either blocked them or sent 20 or 30 seeds in envelopes. Although it is rare, Liu Weimin is a treasure. To travel abroad, the first thing he should do is to go to the local agricultural science institute to find wheat seeds. Another problem Liu Weimin encountered was that he had no analytical means. Without a bulk density meter, he would replace it with a teacup and a scale and convert it with physical principles; without a wheat leaf area meter, he would measure the length and width of each leaf with a ruler and calculate it with a formula; without a horniness meter to measure the strength of wheat, he would cut it with a knife and bite it with teeth Relying on dedication and innovation, Liu Weimin created a new method and theory of wheat breeding. His "regression curve mapping and yield comparison method" is better than the "hole sowing method" abroad. In 1997, Wanmai 38, a new wheat variety with high yield, stable yield, high quality and multi resistance, was bred. In 1999, it passed the national examination and was included in the national science and technology research plan, and was granted special state subsidies twice. This variety has been popularized for more than 30 million mu, creating more than 2 billion yuan of benefits, and promoting the process of grain quality structure adjustment and agricultural industrialization. This achievement has won the first prize of provincial science and technology progress in 1999 and the second prize of national science and technology progress in 2001. In April 2008, another high-yield and high-quality new variety "Wanmai 38-96" passed the provincial examination and approval, and will be popularized in a large area.

personal honor

In 2001, he won the title of "national outstanding scientific and technological workers"; in 2003, he won the title of "National Rural outstanding talents"; in 2005, he won the title of "national advanced workers"; in 2006, he won the title of "national outstanding professional and technical talents"; in 2010, he won the provincial and municipal outstanding contribution talents Award; in 2015, he was rated as Lei Feng pacesetter of Anhui Province, enjoying the special allowance of the municipal government

Character evaluation

Liu Weimin was born in a peasant family. His childhood experience of living in poverty made him plant a lifelong ambition to prevent the world from starvation. He was less than 1.4 meters tall, but he cultivated a new wheat variety with high yield and high quality, Wanmai 38, which increased farmers' income by more than 2 billion yuan in 10 years. He gave up his leisure work and rich treatment, and took root in the wheat breeding industry with hard conditions. For 25 years, he has been unknown and indifferent to fame and wealth. Liu Weimin, deputy to Anhui Provincial People's Congress, cultivator of Wanmai 38 and deputy director of Bozhou Institute of Agricultural Sciences, is affectionately known as "Yuan Longping", a wheat expert in Anhui Province by local farmers.
