袁隆平抖音号真假风波 网友：守护全世界最好的袁老
#袁隆平入驻抖音
1月9日晚，一个名为“袁隆平中华拓荒人”的账号在抖音平台开通。当晚，该账号迅速引发粉丝追捧，涨粉500万。
截至1月11日中午，在一条消息未发的情况下，这个刚开通的抖音账号粉丝数突破1500万大关。
该账号经过抖音认证，认证信息有三个，分别是共和国勋章获得者、杂交水稻之父、青岛海水稻研究发展中心主任。
Chinese agronomist Yuan Longping, famed for developing high-yield rice varieties, joined the short-video app Douyin, known outside China as TikTok, over the weekend, attracting more than 15 million followers even before publishing any post.
The account "Chinese Pioneer Yuan Longping" was set up on Saturday, and has amassed a massive following of 15.3 million people as of Monday noon.
#真顶流
对于这位90岁科学家开通抖音账号，网友表示非常开心。
也有不少网友表示，这才是真正的“顶流”、“自带流量”。
也有网友幽默的表示：“吃了袁爷爷的大米，当然要关注了！”
尽管该账号一炮而红，但被誉为中国“杂交水稻之父”的袁隆平却迟迟没有在该账号中发布任何内容，他的沉默在抖音上引起了轩然大波。
周日，名为“袁隆平爷爷什么时候发抖音”的话题以千万点击量冲到抖音热榜第一。
Users are thrilled to see the 90-year-old scientist joining the platform.
"I followed him immediately since I've eaten the rice he's developed," said one user. "He is the real idol that millions of people should pay attention to," said another.
Despite the instant popularity of the account, Yuan, who is known as China's "Father of Hybrid Rice," has yet to be active on the app, and his silence has caused a stir on Douyin. "When will grandpa Yuan Longping post?" became the hottest topic on the app on Sunday.
#乌龙事件
不过很快，这个账号的可信度就受到了质疑，袁隆平抖音号一时真假难辨。
抖音声明如下：
今日，有媒体报道称，袁隆平院士入驻抖音，“其本人并不知情”。现将袁隆平院士抖音官方账号“袁隆平中华拓荒人”入驻过程说明如下：
1.2020年8月，青岛海水稻研究发展中心有限公司（以下简称：青岛海水稻中心，袁隆平院士为该公司法定代表人）与我们取得联系，就袁隆平院士入驻抖音、今日头条、西瓜视频，科普“三农”知识等方面合作进行多次沟通。
2.2020年10月，青岛海水稻中心工作人员向抖音提供了袁隆平院士授权函和袁隆平院士本人身份证信息等认证必需资料，完成实名认证。
3.认证后，原计划2021年1月12日，“袁隆平中华拓荒人”将在今日头条、抖音、西瓜视频平台发布首条视频，于1月15日第五届国际海水稻论坛上开启首场直播，并签约加入字节跳动公益“三农合伙人”项目。我们对袁隆平院士充满敬意，该账号的后续处理，将完全尊重院士及其相关工作团队的意见。特此说明。
同时，在说明中抖音还附上了有袁隆平签字印的抖音账号代运营授权书。
However, the credibility of this account soon came under question as the media reported Yuan didn't know about opening a Douyin account of his own. Xinhua said on its official Weibo (China's Twitter-like social media platform) account on Monday afternoon that Yuan, currently working at the Nanfan Scientific and Research Breeding Base in Sanya, south China's Hainan Province, has no idea about this account, and it was registered by "some company."
In response to the questions posed by the media, Douyin made an official statement on Weibo later in the evening, clarifying the reliability of the account. It said the Qingdao Sea Rice Research and Development Center, which is led by Yuan Longping, contacted Douyin in August, 2020 about having Yuan join Douyin, Toutiao and Xigua Video, and provided the platform with necessary materials for authentication, including Yuan's ID and a letter of authorization. Douyin said the follow-up processing of this account will fully respect the opinions of Yuan and his team. 1月12日，澎湃新闻报道，开通“袁隆平中华拓荒人”抖音号的青岛海水稻研究发展中心相关负责人称，这个抖音账号肯定会保留，在1月15日第五届国际海水稻论坛上开启首场直播的计划目前也没有变化。 值得一提的是，青岛海水稻研究发展中心相关负责人并没有解释这次“真假账号”乌龙事件的原因，也未透露目前是否已经和袁隆平院士沟通完成。 对此，网友表示， 无论如何，他们会尊重袁老、守护袁老。
