Vietnamese pilot of Cho Thanh Luk
It was a very memorable day because
On this day, he flew from Vietnam to China with 9 people
But what happened to make a young and promising pilot flee Vietnam and head straight for China? What kind of background and story does he have with those 9 people? How did they fare after they arrived in China?
Next, let's take a closer look at their tortuous experiences and the living conditions in China.

Of course, presumably many people do not know the character of Ho Chi Minh,
Ho Chi Minh's real name is Nguyen Bi Thanh
The name Ho Chi Minh was a pseudonym he gave himself during World War II, just for convenience during the anti-Japanese period.
Figure 1
Ho Chi Minh was born
In May 1890, It was established in Jinlian Village, Nantan County, present-day Yijing Province, Vietnam
Because he was born in a family of teachers, he received very cutting-edge knowledge and thinking from an early age, and at a very young age, Ho Chi Minh had the great ambition to drive out foreign colonists and liberate the Vietnamese people.
Early 1911
When Ho Chi Minh planned to study in Western countries and learn more about overseas knowledge, he gave up school and became a teacher in a private school, while seeking ways to save the country and save the people.
At the end of the same year, Ho Chi Minh went under a pseudonym to the merchant ship of the French Intermodal Company as a chef's assistant.
Then I traveled as a young seafarer
France, Great Britain, Germany, Congo, Algeria, United States
and many other countries.
During this period, he studied foreign languages diligently every day, came into contact with many overseas people, observed various countries in the world, and finally learned about the unfairness of capitalism.
subsequently
In 1917
Ho Chi Minh threw himself into the French workers' movement in a new capacity, and it was in this year that he chose to join
The French Socialist Party, at the same time founded the Vietnam Patriotic Fraternity
。
In 1925 Ho Chi Minh participated in the establishment of the Federation of The Oppressed Nations of Asia,
In the same year he was also founded in Guangzhou, China
Vietnam Youth Revolutionary Comrades Association
and
Leadership core
Communist Group
It is mainly responsible for training communist cadres, and also intends to bring Marxism-Leninism to Vietnam.
Five years later, Ho Chi Minh founded the Communist Party of Vietnam in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Figure 2
In 1941
，
Ho Chi Minh called
Eighth Congress of the Communist Party of Indochina
At the same time, the road to national salvation was determined, and the Vietnam Independence Association was established to prepare to lead a partial uprising of the Vietnamese people.
A plan to launch a national uprising to seize power
At the end of 1946
Ho Chi Minh called on the whole country to join forces to resist the French aggression, so that everyone stood up and worked together with their own hands and feet to jointly defend the freedom of the motherland.
That's it
In 1951
Under ho Chi Minh's forward-thinking leadership, the Vietnam War of Resistance against France won a huge victory.
In 1955
When Ho Chi Minh led the Communist Party of Vietnam to liberate Vietnam, the end of the Vietnam War, and later the reunification of North and South Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh did a very good job as a leader.
The victory of the war can be said to cut off the shackles of Vietnam and let Vietnam break through the limits.
At that time, the vietnamese people were very admiring of Ho Chi Minh, and at that time, Ho Chi Minh was also very friendly with China, and often came to China, but also to learn more from the experience of the Communist Party and make up for his shortcomings. And the most important thing is that China once extended a helping hand to Vietnam during the US-Vietnam War, and at that time China has become completely different in the hearts of the Vietnamese people, and the Vietnamese people also have a good feeling for China.
Figure 3
At this time, among the many people in Vietnam, there was a name called
Qiao Qinglu
The impression of the children in China is also very friendly, very fond of China and trusting of China.
Although Qiao Qinglu was still young at that time, his subjective consciousness was already very strong, he had the ability to think independently, and after he knew what China was doing at that time, he had always had great respect for China, and had always heard everything that China had done, so China gradually felt at home in his heart.
In fact, Qiao Qinglu was born in a Vietnamese revolutionary family since he was a child, and his father was a qualified Vietnamese Communist Party, so he was baptized with revolutionary ideas from an early age.
Because the Communist Party of Vietnam had close contacts with the Chinese Communist Party under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh at that time, Qiao Qinglu's father was sent to China, and later after returning home, he also talked to Qiao Qinglu about everything he saw in China, and Qiao Qinglu also began to be more and more impressed with the Chinese country since then, and Qiao Qinglu's revolutionary ideas were gradually expanding.
Therefore, he has set great aspirations since he was a child, and when he grows up, he will devote his whole life to the construction of communism.
In fact, the deepest influence on Qiao Qinglu is not his father nor Ho Chi Minh, but the experience of his time in China when he was young.
When he was young, he came to China to participate in a period of study, every day he lived here, he would feel everything here with great care, at the same time he also learned some Chinese here, but also met some Chinese friends, everything here made him feel so beautiful, not only people or things, his growth here made him like this place more and more.
Figure 4
So that later when he fled Vietnam, he chose to come to China without hesitation, and the time he lived and studied in China also laid a huge foreshadowing for his future escape to China.
As a child who grew up in a revolutionary family since childhood, looking at his father as a great revolutionary, Qiao Qinglu himself will certainly not show weakness, infected by his father, he has always been a very hard-working person from childhood to adulthood, and fortunately the rewards brought to him by hard work are also obvious.
With his hard work, he was selected after a series of excellent performances
Became an official Vietnam People's Army helicopter gunship pilot.
He grew up feeling that this is a very glorious position, pilots have always been scarce, because the cost of training a pilot is very huge, but the risk factor of pilot loss is also very large, the pilot of every country is the most precious capital of the country, only good enough to have enough talent and ideological awareness is high enough, the country will vigorously train a pilot.
After Qiao Qinglu became a pilot, he did not have a good ambition and was not proud because he became a formal pilot, he was still willing to work hard in the team, and every time he was able to complete the tasks assigned by the organization with very good results, accompanied by outstanding achievements again and again
He managed to earn the rank of captain at the age of 27.
Having such an outstanding talent who had created so many honors was a very fortunate blessing for Vietnam at that time.
Disappointed begins to choose to flee
At that time, Qiao Qinglu should have chosen to stay after the end of the Vietnam War and witness the development of Vietnam with the Vietnamese people, but he was disappointed that the peace that everyone had been waiting for did not come as promised
Lai Sun Group
Destroying the foundation of friendship laid by Ho Chi Minh and China made Vietnam gradually biased toward the Soviet Union.
Figure 5
At this time, the Soviet Union and China were in a period of hostility. Although the Le Son clique led Vietnam to gradually favor the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union has always come up with a hot and cold attitude, and at this time Vietnam is also falling deeper and deeper in the trap of the Soviet Union, so that the weak Vietnam began to be confused, and gradually believed that its current strength can become the king of Southeast Asia, Vietnam because of the Soviet Union's empty words and gradually go to the opposite road with China.
Gradually, he forgot that when he resisted US aggression and unified the whole country, only China stood up at that time to help it defend its own country. But evil is always easy to get out of hand, and Vietnam and China are gradually on the opposite side.
Qiao Qinglu hated this phenomenon very much at that time, he knew that the situation had developed like this, and his heart was sad to say, and at that time, Qiao Qinglu's father also began to suffer from various runs above, and the actual unfairness fell on their father and son one by one.
The people who originally stood on the communist side began to be destroyed one by one by the Le Son clique, followed by more and more people on the side of The Lê Thanh, and Vietnam also began a period of darkness and turmoil. In fact
Lê Duần was the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and was once a member of ho Chi Minh's side.
But the ideas he has always flattered have a huge gap with Ho Chi Minh, the dictatorship he longs for in his heart, he hates China, he hates win-win cooperation with China,
Later, after Ho Chi Minh's death from illness, he began to eliminate cadres who had supported Sino-Vietnamese cooperation like Ho Chi Minh on a large scale, then made a big deal of his own manpower and eyeliner, and after he gradually took control of Vietnam's power, he began to act on a larger scale.
Figure 6
In this way, under the circumstance that Lê Sung single-handedly covered the sky, Vietnam not only did not plan to settle the domestic turmoil, but began to invade unscrupulously
Cambodia
at
Cambodia-Vietnam War
After the launch, the Vietnamese army began to burn and loot Cambodia in a frenzied manner.
Such a situation made Qiao Qinglu begin to be disappointed and even fearful of the country, and he knew very deeply that under the leadership of such a ruling class, Vietnam would only go to the abyss at an unexpected speed, and there would be no disaster.
It was at this time that he came up with the idea of escaping from the country.
Not only Qiao Qinglu thinks so, but also many people who have such thoughts with him know that the motherland they yearn for in their hearts has changed, and the current Vietnam is not the Vietnam that advocated the cause of communism in the past, if they continue to stay, they will only meet with the people they have befriended in their hearts, and they can only watch the Vietnamese people being exploited and squeezed, their hearts are already shrouded in despair at this time, under this dark rule, looking at Vietnam, which is unbearable at this time, some breathless.
At this time, Qiao Qinglu was very miserable in the face of such a national situation, because as an excellent pilot, Vietnam could not completely ignore him and let him leave the country, and even let him leave the team is impossible, let alone leave Vietnam, and the policy at that time was very strict.
In order to prevent anyone in the army from defecting, the leaders above issued a death order, and if anyone had such a thought, as long as they disobeyed the order of the organization after warning, they would be killed on the spot.
Figure 7
In this way, Qiao Qinglu was tormented day and night in the team, and his inner struggle became more and more serious, thinking of defecting at any time.
Until once he received a task to fly a helicopter to Cambodia patrol, looking at the scene below, his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Qiao Qinglu has always been a calm and calm person, he never acts recklessly, but after seeing the situation in Cambodia, he made a decision in his heart that he planned to leave Vietnam for China.
Qiao Qinglu pondered that China, as a neighbor of Vietnam, was the best choice to go to China, and he could fly a helicopter to leave as fast as possible.
But the reality of the scene will always be unsatisfactory, and when he has already made up his mind, a large number of people in Various Parts of Vietnam who are dissatisfied with the resistance to China and choose to flee Vietnam, it is precisely because of this situation that suddenly appears, Vietnam
The Southern Military Department issued an order that after the aircraft entered the tarmac after performing its mission, it must immediately dismantle the battery and the magnetic compass and concentrate them on the safekeeping of the troops.
Such a sudden stipulation to prevent soldiers from escaping undoubtedly made it difficult to implement Qiao Qinglu's plan.
Helicopters that don't start the battery can't start at all, let alone fly, and the magnetic compass is the directional positioning instrument of the aircraft, without the magnetic compass there is no direction, losing direction in the high air, you don't know where you will fly.
No pilot can smoothly determine the direction without passing through the magnetic compass, and without the magnetic compass, then going to China is still impossible.
Figure 8
After returning to the tarmac after the mission, the pilot had no way to approach the plane anymore, and in the face of such a situation, Qiao Qinglu felt very powerless.
And just when he felt desperate because of this, in a chat with a friend, he was surprised to find himself
Friends Huang Chuntuan and Li Yushan
I was even like-minded with myself, but I was also very dissatisfied with the situation at that time, and I had the idea of leaving.
So the three of them were unspoken and plotted the road together.
With the addition of two friends, Qiao Qinglu's heart that fell to the bottom began to ignite hope, and the problems and difficulties he had faced before finally had a solution, and Qiao Qinglu finally saw the opportunity to escape.
It didn't take long for the three of them to join many trusted friends.
Soon the size of the team expanded to ten people
Later, Huang Chuntuan and a member of the ten-member team was named
Li Yushan's mechanic
Taking advantage of the troops' sabbatical, they met in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.
Li Yushan is a young mechanic who is only 24 years old, but he is here
Baimei Airport
The officer has been for a long time and knows everything about here, and this Baimei airport is also the starting point for Qiao Qinglu's ten-man squad to set sail to China in the near future.
In this way, Li Yushan and Li Yushan of the Huang Chuntuan often secretly lurked around the airport in the following days to find out the situation and prepare an escape plan. At this time, no one else was idle, and everyone was trying to prepare for the short escape from Vietnam to China, to ensure that they could break out of this purgatory with a foolproof probability.
Figure 9
It is also said that there is no invincible road, because at that time, not long after the end of the Vietnam War, there was a black market for old goods everywhere in Vietnam, and everything could be bought on these black markets, even including various military accessories and weapons left by the US military at that time.
Knowing such good news, Qiao Qinglu and others were looking for opportunities to go to the black market to find batteries and magnetic compasses with matching models. At that time, there were ten people in the team
Engineer Yang Wenli
They have a thick family foundation, so they will naturally not worry about the price when they find these necessary accessories on the black market.
Although there was everything on the black market at that time, but the Vietnamese troops could not sit idly by, naturally they would also suppress here, after Qiao Qinglu found the equipment they needed to escape, they lied to the shopkeeper that they were fishermen, and these equipment knowledge was used for the normal start of fishing boats, and after purchasing batteries and magnetic compasses, they also purchased several sets of fake military uniforms. Now that all the preparations have been completed, just wait for the best time.
End of September 1981
When they finally waited for this opportunity, Qiao Qinglu, who was a pilot at the time, received the order,
He needs to fly a helicopter from Baimei Airport in Hanoi to take the top level of the troops to the Sino-Vietnamese border to inspect the situation there, which means that the helicopter will stop at Baimei Airport when he returns.
The gratifying thing is that the helicopter that Qiao Qinglu wants to fly is also exactly the model of the US military, and Qiao Qinglu feels that the heavens are helping and at the same time strengthens the belief in his heart
"This time it has to be successful."
Figure 10
At the first time after receiving the task, Qiao Qinglu informed the other nine people of this information, and the nine people immediately put on fake military uniforms and rushed to Hanoi by train very early, and the nine people who arrived in Hanoi immediately took action and laid out according to the previous plan.
In this operation, Qiao Qinglu and Huang Chuntuan were responsible for the piloting task, and the rest were responsible for destroying the barbed wire blocked around the airport, so that Qiao Qinglu and Huang Chuntuan could successfully enter the airport and approach the plane. So Qiao Qinglu and Huang Chuntuan got up very early and went to the airport under the pretext of morning running to meet Yang Wenli and others.
Then take the battery and magnetic compass that have been prepared long ago and quickly get on the plane,
Subsequently, Qiao Qinglu and nine people successfully left Vietnam and went to China.
By the time the Vietnamese army discovered the situation, ten of them had already flown away in the plane.
New beginnings, new beginnings
After a few hours of travel, the plane arrived smoothly
Guangxi
When the helicopter suddenly landed
Daxin County
When in a farmland, the nearby villagers could not judge the intentions, so they immediately reported to the organization.
The organization soon sent people to check on the situation here, and Qiao Qinglu was able to communicate with the Chinese because he had been studying in China for a while at the beginning, so he told the organization about the situation they encountered in Vietnam and their idea of fleeing, and also handed over the plane and his weapons to the organization. After the organization clarified Qiao Qinglu's situation, it also chose to accommodate them regardless of their previous suspicions.
Figure 11
Later, the Vietnamese army asked China to hand over Qiao Qinglu and others, and even slandered them as Vietnamese criminals who had absconded from China because they were afraid of crime, but China did not hand over Qiao Qinglu and others at this time, and also held a nationwide press conference, hoping that Qiao Qinglu and others would tell the people of the whole country the facts.
After that, Yang Wenli, one of them, chose to go to France to join his relatives and friends, while the other nine were settled in Beijing.
After Qiao Qinglu's excellent driving skills and rich driving experience were learned by the organization, he was hired to work as a teacher at the aviation school, hoping that he could render more Chinese pilots with his outstanding talent.
As a series of things subsided, they also lived and worked in China without war, and this was the peace they longed for.
The helicopter they drove to China at that time was taken by the Chinese Research Department to study, and it was also because of this helicopter that China's aerospace technology industry made a qualitative leap and entered a new threshold, which was the highest configuration helicopter at that time.
It was of great significance to China, and the plane was later displayed in the exhibition hall of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Figure 12
Qiao Qinglu was a man who loved his motherland very much, and at the same time longed to save his motherland, but when he experienced so many things, he was powerless in the face of darkness, and he had to make this choice, but his choice was certainly not wrong, and choosing a country like China as his dependency was the wisest choice at that time.
