Visual Moutai | Liu Yaxi: a pathfinder of environmental science in Moutai

Each bottle of Moutai liquor flowing to the market is equipped with a special red ribbon. In the near future, the red ribbon may usher in a new milestone. The main raw material chemical fiber materials will be upgraded to green and environmentally friendly, becoming environmentally friendly biodegradable ribbon.

It was Liu Yaxi, the winner of the Maotai Outstanding Talent Award, who presided over the research and development project of green wine packaging materials. However, this is only part of her research project.

In recent years, Liu Yaxi has presided over one National Natural Science Foundation, one provincial and ministerial level support plan, one provincial and ministerial level talent growth project, four municipal level projects, and one key laboratory open project, with a total fund of more than 2 million yuan, participated in national major instrument projects, and published many SCI papers as the first author

On April 19, the 2024 talent work conference of Maotai Group was held in Maotai Conference Center, which is an exclusive festival for Maotai to respect and love talents.

Liu Yaxi, standing on the podium of Maotai Convention Center, looked up slightly and looked through the crowd with firm and clear eyes. The honorary certificate she held in her hand seemed to be her scientific research time in recent years, full of weight.

Through the lights on the stage, she was still grateful for the resume she accidentally submitted when she graduated from Fudan University as a doctor.

In 2020, Liu Yaxi will walk out of the "ivory tower" and end his years of study. In the dazzling recruitment information, she wanted to stay in Shanghai and return to her hometown in Shandong... Among the several resumes she submitted, one went to Maotai University.

A few days later, a strange number in Guizhou woke up Liu Yaxi's mobile phone screen, and a cross regional fate was concluded.

Liu Yaxi vaguely remembers the words of the teacher of the Human Resources Department of Moutai University. You have never been to Guizhou, so you should consider it a trip. Come to Guizhou and visit the college. Liu Yaxi, who has always taken the school as her home, was moved.

When she came to Guizhou, she was surprised to find that this place was very different from what she had heard. With beautiful scenery, the air and environment quality are very good.

In particular, Maotai Town is located in the Chishui River valley at 27.5 ° north latitude, with a low terrain. Its altitude is only more than 400 meters, and the Dalou Mountain surrounded by both banks is more than 1000 meters above sea level. It is a closed meteorological field with unique meteorological environment. For Liu Yaxi, who studies environment and atmosphere, she seems to see many scientific research projects floating between the mountains and waters of Maotai.

This "no man's land" that has yet to be developed by scientific research is full of temptations.

What moved Liu Yaxi most was Maotai's sincere intention to respect talents and attach importance to talents.

As a new university, Maotai University has not yet completed the relevant instruments for atmospheric research. Liu Yaxi's research needs the assistance of a composite observation station for atmospheric pollutants. She raised this appeal, which was strongly supported by Moutai. As long as the relevant scientific research talents landed, the observation station could be built, which is the most silent response of Moutai.

At that time, just one VOCs, an observation instrument called volatile organic compounds in Chinese, needed more than 2 million yuan. Who wouldn't be impressed by such a scientific research platform?

In September 2020, despite the strong opposition of his parents, Liu Yaxi packed his bags and set foot on Moutai, the land bearing the future.

After passion, trivial life will also be reflected in reality. The obscure local accent, the unique wet and cold weather of Moutai in winter, and the project is stuck in the bottleneck period

Liu Yaxi was once troubled and confused.

After nearly four years of spring and autumn, Liu Yaxi, who had taken root in the purple red mud, felt that the name "Moutai" in four years had given her great courage.

In Moutai, as long as there are innovative ideas, there will be many opportunities for project establishment and project implementation will be fast. Take the project of degradable ribbon as an example, it was basically passed in one meeting, and the leaders also expanded the capital investment.

Except for scientific research talents like Liu Yaxi. Moutai also encourages front-line personnel to put forward ideas for improvement. As long as the project is feasible, even if it is not within the scope of personal ability, Maotai will be led by leaders to set up the project, or cooperate with Tsinghua University and Peking University to implement the project in place.

Soon after, the new science and technology building of Moutai College will be put into use. In the building, there are 636 sets of experimental instruments and equipment purchased by Moutai with an investment of about 164 million yuan, including 61 sets of large-scale experimental instruments and equipment.

Liu Yaxi is full of expectations for these new equipment

In the past three years, Liu Yaxi has won many awards and made outstanding contributions to scientific research, teaching and educating people. It has been selected into the "1000" level talent training plan of Guizhou Province, won the Individual Creativity Award of the State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Guizhou Province, won the Outstanding Teacher of Renhuai City, won the titles of Young Position Expert of Maotai University, Advanced Individual in Scientific Research of Maotai University, and Outstanding Teacher of Maotai University.

Liu Yaxi felt great responsibility for winning the "Maotai Outstanding Talent Award" this time. His achievements were insignificant compared with those of Maotai's predecessors, and he was very grateful for the trust and encouragement of the Group. I hope to make better research results in the future and be worthy of this heavy honor.

Scientific research is a sea of stars, and the pursuit has no end. Liu Yaxi's inquiry and pursuit on the road of environmental science in Maotai will never stop.
