Dear uncle, are you okay in another country?
I remember when I was four years old, my grandmother and grandfather took me from Jinan to Jiuquan to visit you. At that time, after getting off the train, I waited for you for a long time and never saw you coming. Later, an uncle of the People's Liberation Army came to us and told my grandfather that my uncle was still on a special mission at the satellite launch site, and because he could not get out, he had to entrust him to pick us up. That was the first time you let us down...
More than six years have passed, and my grandmother told me a few years ago that you and your aunt will return to your hometown for the New Year. Since then, waiting and waiting, hoping and hoping, it was hard to stay up until Chinese New Year's Eve, and when it was time for lunch, I still didn't see your figure, and I asked my grandmother impatiently: "Why hasn't my uncle come back?" I saw Grandma twist her face to the side and gently wipe the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. At this time, Grandpa hit the round field and said: "The Shenzhou XIII manned spacecraft is flying along the earth in the sky, and for the safety of the satellite launch base, your uncle and other uncles are sticking to their posts." I called yesterday and said I couldn't come back this year. Hearing my grandfather's words, an nameless sense of loss arose in my heart, and my expectations were shattered like soap bubbles. How I look forward to meeting my uncle, who is thinking about it day and night, and hearing about the interesting things that happened at the satellite launch base! But I understand that my uncle not only belongs to our small family, but also cares about our country.
A piece of Dan heart to repay the country. Uncle, I heard my grandmother say that you have admired soldiers since you were a child, and you are determined to join the army to defend the country when you grow up. After graduating from high school, your heart followed your wishes, and you became a glorious soldier of the People's Liberation Army and served in the most difficult places in Xinjiang. Later, after passing the exam, you enter the military academy for further study. After graduation, he was assigned to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and participated in the aerospace industry of the motherland.
Clear love is only for China. After more than twenty years as a soldier, some people have advised you to change your career early while you are young and arrange a good job; others have advised you to take a sum of money, choose a career on your own, go back to your hometown to start a business, and reunite with your family. However, you are not moved by fame and profit, do not change your heart, adhere to the red faith, implant your wisdom into the aerospace industry of the motherland, and strive day and night with other scientists, engineers and uncles of the People's Liberation Army to realize the "space dream" of flying farther, higher and more advanced!
Did you know? How I want to become a soldier like you, a soldier who fights for the flying dream of the motherland! I remember when I was a child, you told me the story of "ten thousand households going to heaven" during the Ming Dynasty. The real name of Wanhu is Tao Chengdao, and "Wanhu" is only the title of Tao Chengdao's official status. Since he was a child, he has been interested in flying into the sky and asking questions about the universe, and dreams of one day flying to the "Heavenly Palace". Later, in order to realize his dream of flying, he actually tied forty-seven rockets to a chair, and then held a kite in his hand, thinking that when the rocket was ignited, he would also fly into the sky. Unfortunately, after the rocket was ignited, it exploded quickly, and Tao Chengdao also paid for it, but he became the first person in human history to fly to the sky. On the moon, there is a craters that is named after Tao Chengdao.
This allusion seems to be a gray humor, in fact, hundreds of years ago, the ancients had the desire and dream to explore the universe. Because the Chinese nation has been poor and weak for hundreds of years, the national fortunes are not prosperous, and the development of science and technology has been restricted, we are more than sixty years behind the United States and the former Soviet Union in terms of space exploration. However, the sons and daughters of China have deeply engraved the gene of "tenacity and autonomy" in the national character, and the leap in aerospace technology is a proof. From Shenzhou No. 5 to Shenzhou No. 13, from one person a day to three people for half a year, China's aerospace technology has surpassed the world's advanced countries.
If you want to have this long life to serve the country, why should you ascend to the Jade Gate Pass. Dear uncle, we are proud and proud of you in Jiuquanshu's border defense. The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country, and the strength of the youth is the strength of the country. Under your teachings and inspiration, I will start from myself, study hard, achieve myself, and aspire to become a brave and fearless soldier like you, and contribute to the prosperity and peace of the motherland.
Please rest assured that the party, please rest assured, the strong country has me...
