China's manned spaceflight project has always been at the forefront of the world, and the reason why China has such high achievements is inseparable from every astronaut who is willing to pay and sacrifice silently for the cause of spaceflight. The intensity of the work of these people is unimaginable, and their working conditions are sometimes even very difficult, but for the sake of the prosperity and progress of the country, they have not retreated under any difficult conditions. Therefore, our country's manned space industry can flourish.
The person who started this cause, who existed as the founder, was the nationally famous aerospace hero Yang Liwei. Yang Liwei is an astronaut of the Shenzhou 5 manned spacecraft, the first astronaut in China to go into space, and the first astronaut to collect aerospace data for China. So many titles have been imposed on him, which is enough to see how great this space hero is.
However, behind Yang Liwei's glory, there are many sacrifices that people cannot see. Aerospace hero Yang Liwei is admired by thousands of people, but his daughter died early when he was two years old, and his wife chose to leave his job for his career, and wholeheartedly accompanied and cared for him. What kind of bitter past is behind the hero? Let's take a look.
01 Realize your dreams and fly to the blue sky
When Yang Liwei was young, he was a boy with a very introverted personality, and everyone around him could not imagine that such a boy would become a hero of the country and the nation in the future. At that time, they were all worried about his future, because he didn't like to talk, and sometimes he didn't even like to express his true thoughts, and everyone was worried that he would not be able to eat in the future society.
More importantly, at that time, Yang Liwei's physical fitness was not very good, he often had fever and illness, and the elders of the family were worried about his body all day long. In order to alleviate this pain, parents consciously increased Yang Liwei's usual exercise and exercise, which in turn allowed him to discover his interest and talent in sports.
And he does not like to express, and he still has an unknown dream in his heart, that is, to fly into the blue sky. So becoming an Air Force pilot is the goal of a little man. For this goal, Yang Liwei redoubled his efforts, trained hard, and at the same time ensured his cultural achievements, closely followed the development of physical fitness, and finally realized his ideals.
But becoming an air force pilot is not the end of Yang Liwei's career development, and when he heard that the country intended to build a manned space industry and select astronauts, he did not hesitate to sign up. In fact, at that time, everyone knew that the country had no experience in this area, and being the first person to eat crabs would definitely take the greatest risk. Maybe after flying into space, you can never come back, and maybe even astronauts can't fly safely into space, in this work, everything is unknown.
However, the development of the country's cause must be brave people to stand up, so Yang Liwei, as an excellent air force pilot, feels that he has an unshirkable responsibility. Moreover, his physical fitness is the best among all the students who signed up, and his adaptation to the simulated space environment is also the highest, so in the end he was selected, which is also his wish.
But behind this glory and brilliance, there must be a lot of sacrifice and sacrifice, and this payment is not only in him personally, but also in the family behind him.
02 Daughter died early, forever regretful
Yang Liwei's wife's name is Zhang Yumei, and he met when his family introduced him to a blind date. Yang Liwei has always been a man with a heavy sense of enterprise, so when he first heard that his family had arranged a blind date for him, his heart was extremely resistant. However, after being forced to come to the blind date scene, he was attracted by Zhang Yumei, who was sitting across the table, at the first time.
Zhang Yumei is gentle and generous, knowledgeable and reasonable, which is in line with the ideal type in Yang Liwei's surname. More critically, the first impression is good, and the impression of deep contact afterwards is better. Yang Liwei's profession is very special, and Zhang Yumei can always have the most appropriate insight into this profession, and can support all his work just right. Such a soul mate is simply unattainable, and Yang Liwei naturally refuses to miss it.
However, this also means that after the two people get married, the burden of the family is all on Zhang Yumei's shoulders. Yang Liwei is very busy at work, and he is a person who serves the country, so he must be on call, sometimes even for many years without a break. The big and small things in the family all rely on Zhang Yumei to carry it alone.
During this time, another very regrettable thing happened. The youngest daughter of the two of them, who was only two years old, died tragically because of the high fever and the lack of timely treatment. The daughter is only two years old, and she has not been able to see the world well, and this matter has become an eternal pain in the hearts of the two children. Especially Zhang Yumei, as a mother, she is even more guilty, feeling that she has not taken good care of her daughter.
But the person who really feels guilty is Yang Liwei. His profession was sacred, but his dereliction of duty to the entire family was also evident. For the country, he was a great astronaut, but for a family, he was a husband and a father, and he failed to take on the responsibilities of a husband and a father.
03 The wife left her job and took care of her wholeheartedly
What makes Yang Liwei feel even more guilty is that in addition to his daughter, there is also a choice of his wife. In order to be able to devote herself to the family, in order to be able to better accompany and take care of her husband, her wife Zhang Yumei chose to leave at a suitable time.
Before that, Zhang Yumei was also a very enterprising girl, she had her own ideals, her own ambitions, and her own life value to be realized. But all of this was a concession for her family. This is a huge sacrifice made by Zhang Yumei, and this sacrifice makes Yang Liwei feel sad.
However, Zhang Yumei did not regret the decision she made, and after putting aside the shackles of work, she wholeheartedly accompanied her husband's side, understood her husband's work and physical condition for the first time, and wholeheartedly supported her husband's career. She became Yang Liwei's most solid backing, and Yang Liwei's military merit badge also had half of hers.
Yang Liwei is undoubtedly a very glorious national hero, he dared to compete for the lead, dared to take the initiative to try, and took a crucial first step in China's aerospace industry.
But behind this glory, there are many hearts and tears that people can't see. Heroes are not good, heroes' families are even more difficult, and they also deserve our respect.
