from the village of Yang Qiao, Linli County, Changde, Hunan Province, an unusual rape field often appears in the dream of the reporter. Every branch of the rape in the field is marked with each branch. This is the "holy land" of the farmers' scientist Shen Changjian's family in Yang Qiao village, the super hybrid rape scientific research base.
this piece of land interprets Shenyang's healthy family and its persistent pursuit. That's 35 load of flowers!
spying bee accidentally meets "rape king", green black stubble has long white beauty Beard -
"we farmers can not engage in scientific research?"
23 notebooks in Shen Changjian's bookcase are the original records of the family's experiments on hybrid rape. Open the first page of the title page and write: "autumn 1978, Shen Kequan."
Shen Kequan is Shen Changjian's father.
in 1978, Shen Kequan kept bees in Guizhou. One day in July, 3 wild rapeseed on the roadside caught his attention. The rape of Hunan has been harvested in May, and the 3 plants are still blooming. The plants are not only strong, but also have many branches. Shen Kequan was as good as a treasure and immediately returned home with great enthusiasm.
for the hybrid rapeseed, the key to breeding is the improvement and breeding of the sterile line. Shen Kequan discovered a rare sterile line germplasm and named it "Gui ye A" sterile line. This encounter in Guizhou allowed the family to embark on the long road of scientific research on hybrid rape.
in April 17th this year, the reporter went to Shen Changjian's house to observe the experiment with several university professors who were engaged in rape research.
experts marvel that "Gui ye A" recovery system itself is very difficult to find, can let the sterile line, the maintainer line, the restorer line 3 lines matching, and the variety reaches the double low (low erucic acid, glucosinolates), the farmer breeders do this step, too great.
has achieved such an achievement that the Shen Changjian family has gone through 1000 failures repeatedly.
at the beginning of the study of "double low", Shen Kequan father and son to find the Hunan Crop Research Institute Yi Donglian, the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Huang song and other rape experts, with their heart to learn and ask them. Two experts were moved by their sincerity and presented professional rape planting books and two kinds of high-quality rape germplasm materials to them.
without professional analysis and no professional instruments, Shen Kequan and his son can only observe with the naked eye, and summarize the rules by recording. In 2001, Shen Kequan brought the seeds to the Ministry of agriculture's Oil Testing Center for testing. In 2004, 10 new varieties were tested again: 2 reached the double low standard, and the other 4 varieties reached single low. This year, the new rape combination of "Gui ye A" sterile line bred by Shen Kequan and his son was awarded the national invention patent certificate.
heard the news, Huazhong Agricultural University academician Fu Tingdong found Shen Kequan, firmly hold his hands: "Shen Lao, your spirit is worth every researcher to study. The new hybrid rape combination you have developed has a bright future. We must stick to it. "
Shen Kequan had tears in his eyes. He began to grow beard from studying hybrid rape. He vowed not to succeed without shaving. The green black stubble has turned into a long white beard and has finally been affirmed and helped by the father of "hybrid rape" in China. How can it not be excited?
it's more than this time. They have worked hard for many years to study and test the Rape Variety "friendship three", and sell it to farmers for half a year.
unexpectedly, someone came to the door, saying that the farmer could not make such a invention, that Shen Kequan's seed was a counterfeit and a fine, and a fine of 8000 yuan. Tan Youbin, a retired cadre of the Agricultural Bureau of the county, visited him specially. Shen Ke Quan beat his breast in tears and said, "can't we farmers engage in scientific research?"
Tan Youbin encouraged him: "Shen Lao, who said no? One day it will prove that you are right. "
a lantern is on the ground, and the family is going to spend hours and hours -
"to do scientific research is to eat hard and be patient!" In front of reporters,
planting season, arable land, weeding, fertilization; flowering season, bag, observation, inspection purity, high sun pollination, rain in isolation shed; harvest season, each of dozens of rape branches, each branch is side with different materials, need a separate threshing, edge threshing side record. Data: pod number, grain number, 1000 grain weight, hybrid male parent and maternal parent.
He Xiuying often works hard all night, and at least several large and small partners need to cooperate in the research institutes. Children advised her to rest, she said, if not finished, data confusion is bad. "When the old man left, he left me these rapeseed..." He Xiuying often looked at the experiment.
Shen Kequan has two sons and four daughters. In order to research rape, raise money and help helpers. Shen Changhua, the son of his eldest son, went out to earn a lot of money to make a study. At the beginning of the month of 2006, two, the young son of Shen Changjian's lover Zhu Chungui went up the mountain to cut the trees, and the steep mountain road was wet, and the foot did not step on, slipped down, and the waist sprained and dropped the sequelae. Shen Changjian's two daughters grew up with their parents when they were young.
Shen Changjian has to work in the field and be responsible for the outreach.
Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Anshun Agricultural Science Institute of Guizhou Province, Nanchong City Agricultural Science Institute of Sichuan Province, Huazhong Agricultural University, China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, oil crop Testing Center... They all left the footprints of their experts.
one day in April 2007, Shen Kequan fainted in the ground. The doctor said, "this is overworked, and the nutrition is not keeping up." During the flowering season of rape, Shen Kequan worked 12 hours a day. 4 kilometers from home to the test ground, a meal every day. After dropping out of the clinic, Shen Kequan went down again.
many nights, Shen Changjian woke up and saw that his father still had lights on his room. Because he was not a professional, Shen Kequan bought a lot of books about rape breeding.
neighbor Shen Xuhua said, "I have really taken this family. A long lantern is standing on the ground, working day and night. I have also advised that research is a matter of scientists, which is too bitter for our farmers. How can Shen answer? "To do scientific research is to eat hard and be patient!"
dying, Shen Kequan called her family to bed -
"stick to it, it will be a success!"
in December 8, 2009, Shen Kequan called his family to bed: "I have no time." Don't lose the rape business. If you stick to it, you will succeed. "
doctor diagnosed that Shen was suffering from tuberculosis. When he was working, he stripped himself of clothes and got cold. His cough was more than enough. The tuberculosis ball blocked the respiratory tract and his life was in danger.
a few days later, Shen Kequan died at the age of 70.
"Shen Lao's life is great. He set an example for our farmers." At the memorial service, the director of the village gave us a talk.
family members complied with their wishes and buried Shen Kequan on the hillside not far from the test site. They know, "let me protect these rapeseed day and night" is the last wish of the old man.
"it's going to be successful!" This remains a belief that a family does not fall down.
in March of this year, because of the urgent need for scientific research, Shen Changjian found village cadres and borrowed 10 thousand yuan. A loan of 80 thousand yuan to the bank last year, but not yet. The family owed a lot of debt to hybrid rape.
looking around at Shen Changjian's house, there are not many valuable things, except two refrigerators for refrigerating seeds.
patio filled with small boxes containing seeds. The box is homemade, cut, disassembled, glued cardboard boxes, and stapled them. In Shen's house, there are thousands of boxes like this. The cost of
is always a problem. In the summer of 1996, Shen Kequan picked up two rice bowls and put them down. "Let's sell the car, Chang Jian."
at that time, Shen Changjian and his wife opened a passenger bus and got a net income of 200 yuan a day, which was the largest source of income for the family. "It has already been owed several million yuan, and there is nothing to sell at home. Everyone who can borrow it has borrowed it and asked people to do nothing yet."
father's words made Shen Changjian unable to say "no". It was urgent to sell the bus.
Shen Changjian and his wife haven't bought clothes for many years. Zhu Chungui used a towel for 5 years and broke several holes. In addition to guests or helpers, families rarely eat meat. Breakfast is two yuan, Chinese meal is 3 yuan, dinner is 3 yuan - this is daughter Shen Ling's expenditure in the university one day.
everyone's help is remembered. In 2005, Wu Youyun, the Secretary of the county Party committee, supported 10 thousand yuan for scientific research funds; in 2008, the county head Tan Benzhong approved twenty thousand yuan for the fund; in 2009, the Changde Municipal Science and Technology Bureau supported 30 thousand yuan. Chen Zhanghua, a agricultural technician from Lixian, cen Nan Township, Changde, has always supported them with money and power. The deputy chairman of the County Association for science and technology, Shen Wenxiang, wrote a letter to his superiors to reflect the situation of the Shen Kequan family; the leaders of the provincial department concerned went to the field investigation and gave spiritual encouragement and some material support.

is not enough. Shen Changjian promised to spend tens of thousands of yuan on research funding every year, but the money has not yet been raised. The 8 key personnel of the rape Research Association set up in 2009 agreed on an annual salary of 15000 yuan per person. Because of the difficulty, only 3000 yuan.
rape research has entered a new stage. Li Yuanhua, head of the national rape demonstration park in Lixian, Hunan Province, sent a letter to Li Yuanhua, "Shen oil miscellaneous 202 new varieties, 5 mu and 225 kg per mu, compared with 35 hybrid rapeseed in 2010 - 2011, which have the following advantages: thick stem, many branches, good resistance, long pods, full seed, lodging resistance and disease resistance. And anti freezing ability. This year's output is estimated to be about 250 kilograms per mu. The output can be ranked in the top three of the country! "
"experts say that the self sufficiency rate of vegetable oil in China is only 38%, while that for planting rape is 120 million mu. If our GUI A continues to breed varieties with high yield, good oil quality and good resistance, it is my Chinese dream to contribute to the country. Our variety is expected to be approved at the provincial level in 2015. If we extend 1 million mu, we will increase output by 50 kg per mu. According to the figure of 6 yuan per kilogram, it can increase 300 million yuan for farmers. "
Shen Changjian describes the bright prospects of rape bloom.
