Talk for a while before going to bed, there is a world in your dreams. Good evening, listeners.
In recent times, there has been a lot of good news on the journey of the sea of stars. The smooth return of the Shenzhou XII manned spacecraft and the successful launch of the Shenzhou XIII manned spacecraft made us look up at the starry sky with a little more worry. Under the flickering magnesium lamp, the whole country remembered Nie Haisheng, Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming, Wang Yaping, these "repeat customers" who visited space, and also met Ye Guangfu, Tang Hongbo and other new faces on the first journey. However, there are always some planets in the starry universe whose light is little known. Among the heroic Chinese astronauts, there is also such a seemingly unknown but no less inferior legend. Today, we're going to talk about it.

His name is Deng Qingming, 55 years old, and he is the only one of the first batch of active astronauts who has not carried out a flying mission. 23 years ago, 14 pilots, including him, were screened and strictly selected to become the first batch of astronauts in China. From the ability to independently carry out manned space missions, Shenzhou 9, Shenzhou 10, Shenzhou 11, Shenzhou 12... Deng Qingming has been selected for the flight crew many times with his outstanding performance, but he always rubs shoulders with the dream of flying with a millimeter. As a backup astronaut, he is so close to space, but also so far from realizing his dream. Despite this, Deng Qingming always insisted on completing the same amount and standard of training as the main part, because in his eyes, "whether it is the main part or the backup, it is the duty of the astronaut."
More than twenty cold, summer, spring and autumn, the partners who get along day and night have returned home with honors, and have their will ever wavered? In the face of the question of "why do you always can't go to heaven" when your daughter was young, will your state of mind make waves? When the hesitant eyes look at themselves, is the state also fluctuating? How much invisible pressure swept over his face, how many unexpected difficulties followed, deng Qingming's answer to this was: "It is better to be prepared than useless, and it is never necessary to be unprepared." As a "reserve" on the battlefield and a "support group" for the main force, Deng Qingming "would rather be an obscure cornerstone than allow himself to be unprepared when he is urged to march at the horn." It is such a father who has won the recognition of the daughter who later became an astronaut: "You are the most dedicated and selfless person I have ever met"; it is such a colleague who has received encouragement from the astronauts around him: "Old Deng, you have to work hard, don't give up"; it is also such a Chinese astronaut who has won the blessings from strange netizens: "Your silent persistence and hard work are already the heroes in our hearts, salute!" ”

On the journey of the sea of stars, we have Yang Liwei's pioneering territory, and Deng Qingming's silent cultivation. Perhaps, we have heard too many such stories, and even people always have doubts. They do not believe that there are really people who only do one thing in their lives and realize one dream, and even if they have no luck in this life, they can have no regrets in this life; they do not believe that there are really people who regard merit as dust, and their hearts are tied to the world and have a big heart; they do not believe that there are really people who are willing to be ladders and dedicate everything to this country and the nation. Just yesterday, we talked about the merits in the TV series "Meritorious Service". Yu Min, Zhang Fuqing, Huang Xuhua, Yuan Longping, Sun Jiadong... Many people on this list have the knowledge to influence the course of the times and the ability to change the fate of development. It is not that they do not understand the principle of "becoming famous early", nor is it that they do not have more comfortable and more favorable options, but they have created an unparalleled career without complaint, reservation, and without exception under the condition of poverty and whiteness, and shaped the personality of Huai Jin. It is this group of "seemingly stupid people" who do "seemingly innocent things" and achieve the "soaring sky" of the country and the nation, and become the proud talk of each of you and me.
"Cold and dry flying road, clear and firm to repay the heart of the country." This is a painting that Deng Qingming hung in the study. Every time the Shenzhou spacecraft successfully landed in the return capsule, the astronauts were greeted by countless eyes of concern, and the only welcome team belonging to Deng Qingming was his wife and daughter who were specially dressed in red. The hero in the eyes of our family is not the unsung hero in our hearts, "we all know your story, and we all remember your dedication."
This is exactly what it is: although it is not armored, it is worthy of the name of a hero.

"Talk to the World about the Heart – Talk a Little Before Bedtime"
丨Introduction丨
Following "Talking with the Times about the Heart", the "Talk before Going to Bed" column of the People's Daily Commentary Department then pushed forward the series of readings "Talking to the Heart with the World". This book systematically sorts out the news hotspots of great significance in the past two years, divided into 10 parts: city, life, art and literature, campus, new knowledge, science and technology, psychology, food and drink, light and shadow, and fashion, giving readers a window to touch time and observe the world.
The richness of this world is far beyond our imagination. This book only contains Yoshimitsu Kataba in our grand era. But these cultural phenomena, social customs, and ideological concepts, like wind and water on the earth, unconsciously portray our times in a subtle way. We try to see where the water is going, hear the sound of the wind, to discover, accept, and push for change. We hope that the accumulation of moments will not flow, and the gifts of time will not be consumed, but will condense the power of submerging on the riverbed of time. We hope that we can observe and think together with readers, discover a broader era, and grow in the sun with society.
