Chapter 1: Remember bitter and think sweet, and always be grateful.
This Saturday, May 22nd, my beloved grandfather Yuan Longping passed away. He developed hybrid rice and was called "the father of hybrid rice". How important food was in that era of material scarcity! I still remember my grandparents, that is, my grandfather's mother, starved to death. On the way to the Long March, many people starved to death.
However, many young people don't cherish food now. Every time they go downstairs to take out the garbage, they can find a lot of leftovers in the kitchen, including my own home. If you can't finish eating, cook less.
Mom said that when she was a child, she would exchange her earned work points for food. It's really "no pains, no gains".
Chapter two: Remember bitter and think sweet, and always be grateful.
My grandparents were born in the 1960s. By that time, they were already very good. Although there are not many rice and noodles, they can eat wild vegetables, sweet potatoes and pumpkins. At that time, the price was not high, and 60 cents could buy a catty of meat. Their generation liked Chinese New Year when they were young, because they could eat meat at that time. They can't even afford salt, so they dip chopsticks in a bowl.
There is not much food, so we have to pay the public grain, and there is nothing to eat after paying the grain. According to my grandfather, they used to put a little rice in a cloth bag and cook it in a pot. After cooking, the children eat the rice in the bag and the adults drink rice soup. Their trousers can still be worn in winter and spring. You should be curious, aren't they spicy?
When it's hot, they will take out the cotton inside, that is, a pair of thin trousers, and then put them back in winter.
Now that conditions are good, some people are beginning to waste food. They may not know how the older generation came without food, and they don't understand why their families are always reluctant to throw away leftovers, because they have suffered a lot and know that food is hard to come by, so they cherish it even more!
On Saturday, Grandpa Yuan Longping passed away. So sad! I hope everyone will remember him because he saved us from going hungry again. Don't worry, Grandpa Yuan Longping, we won't be hungry again. We will have a good meal. Don't worry.
Chapter three: Remember bitter and think sweet, and always be grateful.
Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, died on May 22nd, 2002 1 07. People all over the country were heartbroken when they heard the news, and a generation of superstars finally fell. His contribution to the rice industry and all mankind far exceeds the Nobel Prize. If it weren't for him, how would China people live a good life now?
He devoted his life to the cause of rice. Whether it's scorching sun or stormy weather, Yuan Lao works in the fields personally almost every day. I gave up my life and benefited all mankind. We should all respect him, remember him and pay tribute to this great hero.
Today, I called my grandmother. She said that in our hometown of Henan, there was no rice at all. We can only eat corn and sweet potatoes every day, and sometimes we don't even have food. Children in the street are crawling around. Why are they crawling?
