"81192 received, I can no longer return, you continue to move forward!" Twenty-one years ago, on April 1, 2001, Wang Wei piloted the "81192" fighter and took off to perform tracking and surveillance tasks. Due to the impact of the US plane, Wang Wei was forced to parachute into the sea and died heroically.
On April 1 this year, in front of the tomb of martyr Wang Wei in Zhejiang's Anxian Cemetery, it was filled with flowers, model fighter jets and eulogies.
According to Zhejiang Daily, the staff of Zhejiang Anxian Cemetery introduced that whenever April 1 is approaching, many people will come to pay tribute to Wang Wei's tomb. "In addition to armed police soldiers, teachers and students, and retired soldiers who come to pay their respects, citizens who come to pay respects will also stop to pay respects before passing by Wang Wei's tomb."
The way of the memorial is different, but it is equally touching. "Some of them send fighter jets and aircraft carrier models, and now there are more than 20 of them, and some students will send letters in front of the tomb." The staff said.
This year, a letter from a student at Zhejiang University impressed the staff. This letter is written for three pages, one stroke at a time, the letter said that because the undergraduate major is closely related to the ocean, I have a deep understanding of Wang Wei's deeds, this year I was admitted to graduate school, and I came to share my joy with Wang Wei -
"Dear Comrade Wang Wei: Before writing down this title, I thought for a long time how to call you. The captain is not kind enough, the gentleman is not natural enough, I still think it is best to use comrades, this is the romance that belongs to our communists... After obtaining the qualification of Baoyan Research Institute, I still choose to accompany the sea to conduct research on coastal zone management, more effectively love and develop our blue, hoping to contribute my youth to the journey of the motherland from a maritime power to a maritime power. ”
The person who wrote this letter was the research of the Ocean College of Zhejiang University.
Hua Natural is 23 years old and from Shandong. He said that in his freshman year, he stumbled upon the story of the martyr Wang Wei and was deeply moved to learn that his tomb was in Hangzhou, and every year on April 1, he would go to the Anxian Cemetery to pay homage to the shrine and send a bouquet of flowers. In addition to not being able to make the trip in 2020 due to the epidemic, this habit has been maintained for 4 years. "Whenever I have difficulties, I always think of him. He can be so brave and fearless under difficult conditions, and I feel that difficulties can always be overcome. ”
Natural chemistry is particularly interested in the ocean, the undergraduate science is the port waterway and coastal engineering major, and the graduate students also choose the direction of marine related directions. In the process of learning and practicing, his love for the sea and the motherland has become deeper and deeper.
This year, the way of the memorial has changed from flowers to a sincere letter. "During the research this year, I felt a lot of feelings. I hope that through our own efforts, we can contribute to our country becoming a maritime power. This idea is becoming more and more urgent, so I wrote this letter to express my own voice and encourage myself. ”
"The reason why we can study and do research in such a good environment is that people like him have paid the price of their lives in exchange." Hua Tiantian said that in the future, as long as he is still in Hangzhou, he will pay tribute to the hero at this special time.
As revered as the hero is Hua Tian, Zhang Yuan of Shanghai Jiaotong University.
"The Chinese nation has never lacked a backbone, it has never been lacking in the past, it is not lacking now, and it will never be lacking in the future!" Now it's time for us to take the baton from you. This is a special letter in front of Wang Wei's tomb last year, signed "Your comrade-in-arms spanning 20 years."
Zhang Yuan's letter to Wang Wei.
The writer is Zhang Yuan, an undergraduate student at Shanghai Jiaotong University. In September 2018, inspired by Wang Wei's deeds, he joined the army and became a naval soldier, and the power of example and faith surged silently in this "dialogue" spanning 20 years.
The surging news reporter noted that the spirit of Wang Wei's martyr's bright sword in the sea and air has not only inspired generations of young people who are committed to serving the country, but also the children of Wang Wei and his comrades-in-arms, who have now taken over the banner of their fathers and served the country from the military.
The son of martyr Wang Wei was admitted to the Naval University of Engineering a few years ago. Today, after graduation, he inherits his father's legacy and becomes a naval officer.
Wang Wei held his young son for a group photo in front of the fighter plane.
Ruan Guoqin, the widow of martyr Wang Wei, said that every year on April 1, when everyone shouts "81192, please return to the ship", it is not only a call to Wang Wei, but also a call to every hero. Whether it is the medical workers who are "retrograde" in the fight against the epidemic, the officers and soldiers who rescue and rescue the disaster in the flood and earthquake, or the cadres who go deep into the poverty alleviation in poor areas, although they have fought on different fronts with Wang Wei in the past 20 years, they are all heroes of this country.
Seeing them, Ruan Guoqin knew that countless ordinary people in this country had the same conscience as Wang Wei: at important junctures and critical moments, they were willing to dedicate their lives to the motherland and the people. "Wang Wei's sacrifice has contributed to the security and development of the motherland. It is worth sacrificing for such a good motherland! ”
On March 31 last year, the "Haiyan Release" WeChat public account published an article "He is Wang Wei's comrade-in-arms, and wrote a letter to the son of the Air Force: Not afraid of sacrifice, keep in mind the mission!" According to the introduction, every year on April 1, the "81192" set of figures will remind people of the Sino-US plane collision incident in 2001 and the "sea and air guardian" - Wang Wei. On this day, in Yu Town, Haiyan County, Wang Wei's comrade-in-arms Wang Zhixiang will remember the hero through various activities. In 2020, he wrote a family letter to his son Wang Yi, who had just joined the army, encouraging him to remember the heroic spirit, temper well in the army, and protect the territory of the motherland.

"Son, Dad hopes that you will not be afraid of sacrifice and remember the mission like Uncle Wang Wei." This is the opening sentence of Wang Zhixiang's letter to his son. Wang Zhixiang served in the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy, and was in the same unit as Wang Wei, living, working, fighting, and forming a deep comrade-in-arms. "2020 is the 20th anniversary of Wang Wei's sacrifice, he is a hero of the people, he sacrificed his precious life to protect the sea and air territory of the motherland and defend the dignity of the country, without him there would be no comfortable life we have now." Wang Zhixiang took out a photo with Wang Wei that year, recalling the scene on the day of the collision, and he was still indignant.
What Wang Zhixiang did not expect was that 20 years later, his 24-year-old son Wang Yi secretly signed up for the army without him. "The child went to the village on his back to register, and after we knew, his father didn't say anything, but I knew he was very proud in his heart." 30 years ago, I sent Wang Yi's father to become a soldier, and for 4 years it was all about correspondence. 30 years later, his son became a soldier, and his father also supported it in this way. Wang Yi's mother said.
Wang Yi wrote back to his father Wang Zhixiang.
After Wang Yi successfully enlisted in the army, he became an air force recruit. Wang Zhixiang picked up a pen for the first time to write a letter to his son. "My comrade-in-arms Wang Wei is also a naval aviation soldier, and I hope that my son will be like him, loyal to the motherland and the people, and an excellent revolutionary soldier." Wang Zhixiang said.
On March 31, the Ministry of National Defense pointed out in response to the fact that the US F-35 fighter has recently encountered the Chinese J-20 fighter in the east China Sea that the People's Air Force shoulders the sacred responsibility of defending the national airspace security. It must be emphasized that in safeguarding national sovereignty and security issues, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has always dared to show its sword and is good at shining its sword.
21 years later, Wang Wei's comrades-in-arms are piloting more advanced fighter planes, cruising and guarding his beloved blue sky and blue sea. Generations of younger Wang Wei are taking over the banner of their fathers and shining swords in the sea and air.
