"Hello everyone watching on TV. Today we are going to interview our Chinese agricultural rice field expert, Professor Song Liangrong." A female reporter was standing in front of a cameraman carrying a camera, and she was introducing him to the camera with a microphone in her hand.
The female reporter smiled and said, "Professor Song's time is limited, so we have to hurry up for this interview." She turned and saw Song Liangrong working in the fields. "Professor Song has other things to do, so we may have to wait a few minutes."
"While we're waiting, I'll show you how Professor Song works."
The female reporter then followed the cameraman to the field where Song Liangrong worked.
The audience watched the live broadcast and posted comments.
"Professor Song is nothing like those other rubbish experts. He looks just like an old farmer. This is what an expert who serves the country and the people should be like."
"Oh my god, Professor Song's back can bend so far? He's over 80 years old. As a young man, I feel ashamed."
The female reporter also noticed this scene, "Our Professor Song is in better shape than young people."
After Song Liangrong finished working in the fields, he wiped the dirt off his hands and said embarrassedly, "These seedlings need to be sorted out temporarily. I'm sorry for the delay."
The female reporter shook her head. "Of course, rice seeds are the main focus. Hello, Professor Song. Let me introduce myself first. I'm Yu Shuping, a reporter from China Television."
He then said politely, "We came here specially to interview you today. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to accept our interview."
Song Liangrong waved his hand and stood in the field to accept the interview. "I know you. I also watch the news. You are a very good host."
The female reporter smiled slightly and said, "I'm very honored to receive such praise from you."
"So shall we start the interview now?" Song Liangrong looked around the fields.
"If you don't mind, we can introduce these rice seeds to us while we interview you," said the female reporter.
Song Liangrong turned his head to look at the rice in the field, and looked at the experimental fields as if he was looking at his children, his eyes full of kindness and love.
But he doesn't show much facial expression.
"Can."
[Here we go! I really want to know how they cultivate rice seeds that yield 3,000 kilograms per mu. You know, the highest yields are only around 2,000, and that's a minority!]
Shouldn't the significance be that during such difficult and harsh times, when there was nothing to be desired, they managed to cultivate Changyun rice, eliminating famine in most of the country?
The interview continues.
The female reporter was measured in her actions and spoke politely, her words making people feel as warm as a spring breeze. Song Liangrong's expression gradually softened, and he began to talk to her more harmoniously.
The female reporter smiled and asked, "Professor Song, everyone wants to know the story behind Changyun Rice. Could you please share some of it?"
A flash of reminiscence flashed in his eyes as he pointed to a rice field and said, "That's where Changyun rice is cultivated. It has been improved many times over the years."
"Back then, that was a few years after I went to the countryside..."
Everyone listened to Song Liangrong's story attentively.
"This was the first time I realized that even if you live in a rural area and the environment is difficult, you can still shine brightly. It was because of him that Changyun Rice came into being."
As Song Liangrong spoke, a smile suddenly crossed his lips. "It's strange, but every time I encountered a problem in my experiment, I would talk to him and always get some inspiration. I say that the Changyun rice was cultivated by me, but in fact, half of the credit belongs to him."
The female reporter asked, "Who is this he you are talking about?"
"What about him? He was my mentor and my best friend. Unfortunately, he passed away more than ten years ago..." Song Liangrong's mood suddenly became a little depressed.
The female reporter also comforted him at the right time, "But you continue to work on this field, making the rice fields bloom with more beautiful flowers. I think if your dear friend were still alive, he would be truly happy for you."
If Professor Song is right, then the development of Changyun Rice was truly inseparable from the help of Professor Song's close friend. Under those circumstances, if it weren't for the support of this close friend, there would be no Changyun Rice.
[Has everyone noticed? Professor Song's best friend is truly remarkable. He had a guaranteed job back in the 1970s, and then he just gave it up! After finishing his studies, he returned to his village and helped his fellow villagers become prosperous. It's truly inspiring! No wonder Professor Song was inspired by him!]
[Speaking of which, the reason why Nan Province is so prosperous and has become a well-known breeding base is inseparable from Professor Song's close friend! Their farm alone contributes to the majority of the province's GDP.]
What a shame! We can only hear a few words from Professor Song, such a powerful figure.
[It turns out that Changyun Rice was the original name of the Changyun Brigade.]
As the interview was drawing to a close, the female reporter said, "Professor Song, let's end our interview here today. We won't disturb you any more."
Song Liangrong's mood also recovered a lot. "Okay, actually I'm not a powerful figure. There's no need to interview me. There are many people who are more powerful than me. What I did is nothing. As long as these grains can play their due role, I will be satisfied."
The female reporter said, "Professor Song, you are truly worthy of the title of unparalleled national talent."
Song Liangrong chuckled, shook his head in disapproval, and said, "It's my close friend who should be responsible."
…
The original Changyun Brigade has changed a lot. Every household now lives in a townhouse, but they still maintain the habit of living together as a group. They work on the farm, which is close to home and they don't need to go out.
Seeing several strangers coming over, someone immediately came forward to ask questions.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? You can't buy pigs here. Just go to the west office building."
Director Xu is a well-known director in China. On the day of the interview by the female reporter, everyone was very curious about the close friend that Professor Song mentioned. Everyone rushed to discuss and wanted to find out his past. So, looking for Professor Song’s close friend became the hot search headline of the day and stayed on the topic for several days.
As an insider, Director Xu also read the interview and finally had a sudden idea.
But you have to get their permission first.
Only then did he come here in person.
Director Xu stepped forward and said with a smile, "We're not here to buy pigs. I'm Xu Jinsheng, a director by profession. After watching an interview with Professor Song Liangrong, I wanted to learn more about Professor Song's close friend. I'm planning to make a film so everyone can learn about Professor Song and his close friend's past."
The old man who stopped them hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Pai An, I can't make the decision on this matter. Wait a minute, sit down for a while, I'll get someone to come and talk to you."
