Today, with abundant material and economic life and rapid development of science and technology, more and more ordinary families have embarked on the broad road of a well-off society.
Not only is it self-sufficient, but you also have more spare time to buy and enjoy some things or things that you like and think.
But many people must have been taught by the older generation of the family that the happiness of today is not easy to come by, it is countless heroic heroes who have survived the hard years and paved the way for the happiness of today's society with their will and even blood donation, so everyone cannot forget, and must know how to remember the truth of bittersweet.
There is such a figure, the age of his birth is certainly far from today's economic development, but his family is incomparable to ordinary people, but neither he personally nor the teachings from his family have allowed him to use his "family support" as a profligate capital.
On the contrary, he practiced more diligently, inherited the family tradition, took over the banner of struggle, and made outstanding contributions to the cause of national development.
His name is Xu Xiaoyan, and when his father's real name is revealed, you will know how solid his family connection mentioned in the previous paragraph is.
His father was Xu Xiangqian, the famous founding marshal of the mainland!
Hone your will from an early age
In the eyes of others, oh! His father was Xu Xiangqian, what a thing worth showing off his glory.
However, combined with Xu Xiaoyan's growth experience from childhood, in addition to receiving a far more severe education from his father than other family children, he has not "enjoyed" the kind of "preferential treatment" that any outsider thinks should be.
Xu Xiaoyan was born in 1947 during the war years, because of the socio-economic instability at that time, So after birth, Xu Xiaoyan was weak due to malnutrition for a long time, and did not hesitate to learn to walk until he was 2 years old.
At the age of enrollment, many high-ranking family children in the same school have a family driver to pick up the car after school, but Xu Xiangqian does not want his children to be special and does not let the family driver pick up Xiaoyan.
Every day after school, like many children of ordinary families, he has to go to the bus stop to wait for the bus to go home, because the school is some distance from home.
I even have to change buses once in the middle of the way, and the daily commute to and from school is very tossed.
But Xu Xiaoyan never complained in his heart, and even said that he never felt that this was a thing worth complaining about, because his father taught him by word and deed since he was a child, Xu Xiaoyan understood from an early age that everything should be self-reliant and study hard, rather than focusing on the so-called "preferential treatment of high-ranking cadres".
The young Xu Xiaoyan almost never ate snacks, because his father only gave him change for taking the bus every day, and if he used it to buy snacks, it would delay the time to go to school.
He also never cried, because he had seen his father's colleagues, the revolutionaries of the older generation, come to their homes to eat and talk about things, and the dinner table was just some of the most simple steamed noodles.
Joined the army and entered Tsinghua
Xu Xiaoyan's life and study habits since childhood have been deeply influenced by his father, and after graduating from high school, due to the special social and cultural background, he has not been able to continue his further studies for the time being.
At the age of 21, he chose to join the army because he also wanted to become a useful talent for the country like his father.
He was sent to Shandong and became a naval soldier. Xu Xiaoyan, who began the life of the troops, set strict demands on himself with higher standards; he had cultivated a high degree of self-discipline and excellent skills in both his living habits and military qualities; he scored outstanding results in the assessment of the troops again and again, and was deeply liked by the leaders of the troops.
It is precisely because of his outstanding performance in the army that Xu Xiaoyan had the opportunity to be escorted to Tsinghua University as the second batch of workers and peasants after 4 years of military life, and began a new journey in life.
After entering Tsinghua Computer Study, he also seized all the time to strive to learn high-end computer knowledge.
Because he knows the importance of the future of the world's high-end technology for the development of a country.
After studying all the courses of Tsinghua and catching up with the wave of reform and opening up of the country, Xu Xiaoyan decided to study abroad, and also humbly studied and saw the level of development abroad.
He traveled across the ocean to Canada to pursue a master's program.
After arriving in Canada, Xu Xiaoyan deeply felt that the level of development of this capitalist country was far more continental, and china's development at that time was still very different from that of such a developed country.
Xu Xiaoyan worked harder, he was outside the ocean, and he could not have too much contact with his family in the era when communication technology was not particularly developed.
Instead, seize all the time to try to absorb more knowledge into the brain.
Put in the work day and night
After returning to China, Xu Xiaoyan was sent to the research institute for scientific research, and he was mainly responsible for the research and development of China's first Chinese character computer.
A group of researchers spend their days and nights in the research institute, and when they are tired, they lie on their desks for a nap, and the average daily sleep time of each person is only about two hours.
Calculate, find data, experiment, fail, find the cause... In the end, this work was a complete success, which also played a huge impetus to the development of the mainland's military industry.
This achievement was also awarded the Science and Technology Progress Award, and Xu Xiaoyan was even more pleased that in this cooperative research, he also brought out a group of like-minded and cooperative professional research and development teams.
Xu Xiaoyan was also appointed as the director of the PLA Communications Department for his outstanding performance.
There is no end to scientific research, Xu Xiaoyan turned to higher-level military computer research, leading his team still has to fight without distinction, and in the end, this work has also achieved great success.
After several temperings, the great progress of the mainland's scientific undertakings at that time told the outstanding contributions of Xu Xiaoyan and others, and at the age of 41, he was awarded the rank of major general.
Many people may not understand the significance of Xu Xiaoyan's ability to obtain the rank of major general.
Combined with the traditional rules of our army, it should be known that personnel engaged in scientific research work are actually very unlikely to be awarded the rank of major general, and Xu Xiaoyan not only became a major general by exception with his excellent scientific research achievements, but also after 11 years of becoming a major general, because of his outstanding contributions, the state even awarded him the rank of lieutenant general!
Such supreme glory is not only due to Xu Xiaoyan's deep study of the country, but also to the support of the happy family behind him.
The combination of Xu Xiaoyan and his wife Wang Yanyan can be described as a green plum bamboo horse and a door to the door, because Wang Yanyan's father is the founding major general Wang Yinggao, and the relationship between the two families has always been close, and Wang Yanyan has grown up playing with him in Xu Xiaoyan's house since childhood.
As Wang Yanyan, who grew up in the same life background, he knew the importance of her husband's work, so she silently took care of other chores at home behind him and did not distract him from his scientific research work.
This Xiannei helper gave Xu Xiaoyan great motivation and support for his scientific research work.
The founding of New China was brought about by the struggle and hard work of revolutionaries of the older generation such as Xu Xiangqian, and the construction of New China was carried on by the descendants of these revolutionaries.
As a new generation, every young volunteer should follow such an example,
Dilute self-interest, work hard, and contribute to the continent's leapfrog take-off!
