In the 1990s, the rapid economic growth of the Four Asian Tigers shocked the world and led to the rapid development of these four regions. At that time, China's reform and opening up was not long ago, and it did not join the WTO, and it was not as economically and culturally as Taiwan, one of the four Asian tigers. There are also many people in China who yearn for life in Taiwan and try their best to smuggle themselves into the past.
At that time, many events occurred that people now feel incomprehensible, and they also attracted the attention of people at that time. The story takes place in 1998 and the protagonist is an Air China captain named Yuan Bin. He personally hijacked and flew the plane to Taiwan. As one of the first civil aviation pilots at that time, the captain whose income reached the top level in China, why did he go to Taiwan? Did he succeed? How does it end? Let's take a look.
First of all, I would like to introduce the background story of that time for the officials, in 1993 there was a wave of "hijacking" in China. In 1993 alone, there were 21 hijacking cases in domestic civil aviation, of which 10 were successful, and their destinations were Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan, in an attempt to evade their crimes on the mainland and obtain asylum in this way. And you can live in Taiwan.
As for why there was this wave of hijackings in '93? The reason also depends on what happened in 1983, when Zhuo Changren and six other bandits broke into the cockpit with guns when the flight flew over the Shandong Peninsula, forcing the plane to cross the 38th line and fly to Chuncheon Airport in South Korea.
Since South Korea did not establish diplomatic relations with the mainland at that time, how to deal with these hostages and bandits became a headache for South Korea. At this time, the Taiwan authorities suddenly came forward and brought Zhuo Changren and others to Taiwan, and pardoned their crimes so that they could live in Taiwan normally. This is tantamount to "inspiring" many criminals in the country, so in 1993 there was a wave of "hijacking".
Back to the story itself, it is reasonable to say that Yuan Bin, as one of the first pilots in China, had one of the best incomes at that time, so how could he suddenly want to go to Taiwan? Is it because of envy for the life of Taiwanese people?
In fact, it is not, in terms of life, because Yuan Bin was born in a cadre family, he has no troubles in life since childhood. Compared with the vast majority of peers, it can be said that they are extremely happy. When he grew up, he became the youngest pilot in China and was an old employee of Air China. Yuan Bin met a primary school teacher in 1995, and the two entered the marriage hall and lived a happy life.
In terms of housing, the unit assigned Yuan Bin a large house of 100 square meters. And Yuan Bin's income at that time could reach 20,000 a month, and this salary is still a high-income group even now. At that time, it was even more unbelievable, it can be said that Yuan Bin's income from working for one year can buy a house. A winner in life. So why did Yuan Bin still want to go to Taiwan?
The reason for the story is still to talk about the change in the housing system in the mainland at that time, in 1998, the State Council proposed to completely stop the distribution of housing in kind and implement the monetization of housing distribution. The most intuitive feeling is that the unit will no longer allocate a house to employees. And Yuan Bin also had the idea of hijacking the plane because of the dispute over the house. As mentioned earlier, Yuan Bin's life is very happy, so why is there such a dispute?
At that time, Air China learned of the change in housing policy and fought for the last wave of benefits for Air China employees, which could be divided for the last time. At the same time, at the internal meeting of Air China, the relevant leaders also said that if the title of organic leader, they can get the division of the room first.
And Yuan Bin was promoted to the position of captain in early 1998, which can be said to meet all the above conditions. Yuan Bin thought that he could also profit from this house split. But the reality is very cruel, and there is no Yuan Bin's name on the list of rooms.
An angry Yuan Bin looked for his leader and asked angrily, "Why didn't I have me in this room?" You could have said yes, that I had become the captain, and that I would give priority to giving me a room. ”
In the face of Yuan Bin's questioning, the leader was also very angry, "Yuan Bin, you pay attention to the words. You have already got the unit before, are you not satisfied? Want another house? Can't you appreciate the difficulties of units? ”
Obviously, this did not satisfy Yuan Bin, and the tone began to harden, "This is what you promised, how can you just count it out?" Considerate unit? Who understands me?"
In the face of the angry Yuan Bin, the leader had to reassure him first: "When the policy changes again, I will definitely win you a house." You're waiting. After all, this list is not set by me alone, if it is me alone, it will definitely be given to you."
Yuan Bin also knew that the leader was just to appease himself, but the truth was already like this, and Yuan Bin had no way. After returning home, his wife saw that Yuan Bin's face was extremely poor, so she asked Yuan Bin what had happened. Yuan Bin told his wife about the quarrel with the leader in the unit today. The wife is very open-minded, thinking that her family already has a big house, and the income can afford to buy other houses, there is no need to be angry about a house, or even offend the leader.
But Yuan Bin did not think so, he felt that he had been deceived, and the current small house was not worthy of his captain's identity. At this time, he saw the video about Taiwan and had a stunned idea. At night, Yuan Bin suddenly woke up his wife, "Let's go to Taiwan, Taiwan's economy is good, the pilot's work treatment is better, and he can live in a bigger house." It is also possible to travel abroad. ”
The wife was directly stunned, "Then how to go to Taiwan?" "You know, going to Taiwan was not an easy task at that time.
Yuan Bin's next words frightened his wife: "We can take the opportunity to go to Taiwan, and we can also get reuse there."
In the face of Yuan Bin's whimsy, his wife only felt too much anger today and has been comforting Yuan Bin's emotions. What I didn't expect was that Yuan Bin was really planning the success of the operation.
In the months after the "room sharing incident", Yuan Bin received a notice from the leader to reduce his monthly flight time and be more responsible for the training and guidance of new employees. To paraphrase a little common sense, pilots are promoted based on flight time and seniority.
When Yuan Bin saw this notice, he suddenly remembered the unpleasantness of his previous and leaders, and felt that this was the leader expressing dissatisfaction with him, or even suppressing him. After returning home, Yuan Bin told his wife about this matter and said, "This Air China can't stay in the future, the leader will definitely find a way to embarrass me, let's go to Taiwan, the one I said before, I seriously considered it." ”
The wife did not expect Yuan Bin to mention this crazy idea again, comforting Yuan Bin, "Don't think about it too much, just the normal work arrangement transfer, after a while it will be eased up."
But Yuan Bin could not listen to any advice anymore, and said bluntly, "If you don't want to go, then get a divorce, I'll go myself."
As soon as the wife heard about the divorce, she had no choice but to follow Yuan Bin's idea, so the plan was implemented on October 28, 1998.
At that time, Yuan Bin was flying a Boeing 737 passenger plane, ca905 flight, taking off from Beijing, passing through Kunming, to Yangon, Myanmar. As the captain's family, Yuan Bin's wife also sneaked into the passengers of the plane. Before the flight took off, Yuan Bin and his wife had already exchanged their family property for easy-to-carry gold and silver jewelry, and the two fought for a happy life in Taiwan.
The plane took off at 8 a.m., and Yuan Bin took his wife to the cockpit. Due to the tragic air crashes that have occurred in the past at Aeroflot because the captain took the family to the cab, major airlines have banned the captain from taking the family to the cab. But because Yuan Bin is the captain, the employees on the crew choose to "turn a blind eye".
After the plane flew for a while, Yuan Bin suddenly said to the deputy captain, change the course, I have hijacked the plane now, I want to go to Taiwan, you have to help me, if you don't help me, you have to help me, or everyone will die together. At first, the co-pilot thought it was just a joke, but with Yuan Bin's continuous operation, the co-pilot knew that Yuan Bin was serious. For the safety of the passengers and employees on the plane, the deputy captain had to help Yuan Bin with the operation.
The anomaly of CA905 soon attracted the attention of the ground tower, and soon contacted through the communication system in the aircraft, and the deputy captain immediately fed the message back to the tower. The tower side is also constantly persuading Yuan Bin, hoping that he will find out where he is. But at this time, Yuan Bin had already fallen into the magic, bent on flying to Taiwan, and directly closed the contact channel.
Subsequently, the mainland contacted the Taiwan side, and in order to ensure the safety of passengers and employees, the Taiwan side made proper arrangements for this. We also sent military aircraft to follow up. As the plane flew over the Taiwan Strait and landed on Taiwan's airport, Yuan Bin thought he was about to breathe the free air from Taiwan and live a happier life.
But what awaited him was the police's real gun and a pair of iron handcuffs. Yuan Bin never expected that his disembarkation was such a scene. He raised his hands above his head and shouted, "I have come to run to you, and you cannot do this to me." ”
Yuan Bin will not know that after 93 years, the Taiwan side is very tired of these "hijackers", because after he pardons them, they will not do business in Taiwan, but will bring a lot of trouble to Taiwan society. In particular, the original hijacker, Zhuo Changren, kidnapped him in 1991, and later the incident was revealed and sentenced to death.
So Yuan Bin ruined his life in one fell swoop. Yuan Bin was sentenced to 10 months in prison in Taiwan, and his wife was also sentenced to six months. After being released from prison in Taiwan, Yuan Bin thought that he could live a normal life, at least with the gold and silver he had brought with him. But he and his wife were subsequently sent back to the mainland, where they faced legal sanctions.
