Text | Rice grain mother

The Shenzhou 16 manned spacecraft was successfully launched!

The old fans of the rice grain mother must know that the grandfather and mother of the rice grain mother are astronauts who have devoted their lives to the aerospace industry, and their father has also worked in the Ministry of Space for more than ten years.

So it is not an exaggeration to say that the rice grain mother's family is all "space fans".

As before, this Shen XVI launch, our family has long pinched the time to watch on time!

After watching the countdown liftoff so many times, Mother Mi is still shocked to tears by this picture.

But in addition to the shock, this time when she hugged the rice grain to watch the live broadcast, the rice grain mother's attention was firmly attracted by an "atypical astronaut".

He is China's first payload expert and the first non-pilot astronaut - Gui Haichao.

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

Gui Haichao, who is only 36 years old, is already a doctoral supervisor at Beihang University, has published more than 20 SCIs, and is now the youngest astronaut in China's aerospace history.

Looking at his resume, Mi Li's mother couldn't help but sigh, what kind of speed is this life?!

But his story is far more than just "opening and hanging".

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!"

Speaking of the sixteenth press conference, Gui Haichao, who faced the reporter's camera, hid an irrepressible excitement under his calm expression, and his eyes were bright.

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

Before setting out, he greeted the camera warmly, waved, liked, high-fived, and emoji three times ~

During liftoff, the astronauts' voices were reassuring - "very smooth", "quite beautiful", "too spectacular!" ”

Gui Haichao couldn't hide his joy and said, "It's very comfortable!" "It's so cool to ride a rocket!"

In the latest group photo of the "meeting teacher" returned, he even wrote happiness on his face.

Such a frank emotion was exposed, so that the onlookers could not help but be handsome.

But as the heated discussion on the Internet increased, sharp-eyed netizens paid attention to another question: how did he wear glasses?

In the public's impression, astronauts are people with strict vision requirements, how can myopic eyes now go to space?!

The netizens who raised this question may not have malicious intent, but the "excellent speech" in the comment area changed the taste.

Someone said sourly: "Check the identity of his family." ”

This means that people become doctoral supervisors at a young age, and myopia can also be astronauts with glasses, which must be "someone above".

The rice grain mother looked angry and funny when she saw this, did this netizen figure out what the occasion was?

Such groundless speculation will only expose some people's own ignorance and narrow-mindedness.

Astronaut Yang Liwei has previously responded to relevant questions in an interview, saying:

"Different tasks have different selection criteria, such as the selection of load specialists, from the perspective of vision, high myopia is not good, low myopia can."

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

That is to say, for the payload experts needed for aerospace scientific research activities, the mind is their most hardcore "weapon", and the requirements for vision will be relaxed.

After the storm of glasses was gently revealed, everyone's attention turned back to Gui Haichao himself.

I have to say that this load expert who single-handedly brought "three firsts" to China's aerospace is really not small.

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

At the age of 31, Gui Haichao became a doctoral supervisor at Beihang University, and has brought 10 doctoral students so far.

The special identity of Beihang Doctoral Guide has added a lot of heat to this launch activity.

The first to appear on the hot search is "Gui Haichao Circle of Friends".

After the official announcement of the Shen Sixteen crew, Gui Hai Chaofa shared joy in the circle of friends and thanked everyone for their blessings and encouragement.

Then the comment area went into formation, relatives, friends, colleagues, and students congratulated one after another, and one of the comments was quite eye-catching——

"Strive for a group meeting on the space station!"

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

The graduate student who was dominated by the thesis instantly moved his DNA, the teachers are in heaven, you still don't forget to hold a group meeting, how many volumes is this?

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

It was also from this comment that everyone had a real feeling that the astronaut was not a pilot, but a doctoral supervisor doing scientific research.

From writing papers at the desk to riding rockets into space, this span, placed in the entire aerospace academic community, is quite explosive existence!

But in Gui Haichao, what is more admirable than the glittering resume is the story of his journey along the way.

Where we can't see, Gui Haichao once walked through thousands of mountains and rivers in order to go to the sea of stars.

The most productive college student in the village

For the matter of going to space, Gui Haichao's alma mater, Beihang is even more excited than Gui Haichao himself.

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

Knowing the news that Gui Haichao was called to fight on Shenzhou 16, Beihang officials immediately issued a document to celebrate.

The comment area of this article was quickly overrun by a group of alumni who rushed to hear the news.

There are memes:

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

"Niu, mentor goes on a business trip to space!"

"I'm really going to heaven!"

"The teacher goes to heaven, and the mana is boundless"

There is also a walking Beihang admissions promotion:

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

"This is the best Beihang college entrance examination admissions publicity this year!"

"Hardcore Admissions Advertisement: On Beihang, one foot has stepped into the space station!"

But what makes the rice grain mother most excited is these comments.

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

"I hope that I can also board the Chinese space station as a payload expert like Mr. Gui in the future."

"I hope my son will follow the example of Teacher Gui and become the future Gui Haichao!"

"There are still 8 days left in the college entrance examination, Beihang is waiting for me!"

A generation looks at the back of a generation, and a generation becomes an example for a generation.

This may be the humanistic sense, "the rivers and mountains leave victories, and I will come again."

In fact, many years ago, Gui Haichao was also the boy who looked at the back of his predecessor and rushed to the wind.

Contrary to the imagination of those who maliciously speculate about the background of Gui Haichao, Gui Haichao is not a "relationship household" or "X second generation", but a "mountain village problem-maker" who came out of a remote mountainous area.

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

Gui Haichao was born in Yaoguan Town, Shidian, Baoshan Province, Yunnan, and from the county seat of Shidian to his hometown, it takes 20 kilometers of winding mountain roads.

According to relatives and friends, Gui Haichao was a "particularly diligent and hardworking person" when he was a student, and he was also a famous student in the village.

The reporter visited the old street of his hometown and asked a random shop owner to get the answer that "he is a famous college student on this street".

When he was young, like most of his peers, he saw reading as the only way to go beyond the mountain, but he didn't think about what he would do after he got out of the mountain.

The opportunity for the dream to "come" appeared in 2003, when Gui Haichao was 17 years old.

It was a colorful year in China's aerospace history, the Shenzhou 5 manned spacecraft successfully ascended to the sky, and Yang Liwei also became China's first "astronaut".

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

At that time, Gui Haichao had just entered the second year of high school, and the ignorant teenager listened to the news of "successful launch" on the campus radio, and silently planted a seed of aerospace dreams in his heart.

The image of Yang Liwei returning to Earth from space has also become a spiritual guide that inspires him to move forward.

Gui Haichao's small revelation revealed that in the second year of high school, Gui Haichao participated in the mock college entrance examination of the third year of high school, and he was among the top dozens of the whole school in one exam.

A year later, Gui Haichao took the college entrance examination and won the first place in science in the county.

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

His homeroom teacher recalled: "At that time, Gui Haichao's results could be reported to the north, and the deadline for volunteering was 12 p.m., and I talked with him until 11 o'clock in the night, hoping that he could take the Peking University exam." ”

However, Gui Haichao was determined to be in aerospace, and finally entered the aircraft design and engineering major of the School of Astronautics of Beihang University with his first choice, which was also the highest score in science admitted by Beihang in Yunnan Province that year.

Beihang is the starting point of Gui Haichao's dream in the true sense, where he has paid thousands of times of sweat, night and day close to the sea of stars in his dream.

To the sea of stars

Gui Haichao's senior brother said that Gui Haichao may be the most diligent person in the entire profession.

He spent most of his life in libraries and laboratories, and at the talented Beihang Airlines, he relied on extraordinary perseverance to ensure that he was sent to graduate school with excellent grades and studied for a doctorate ahead of schedule.

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

In 2018, the selection of space station payload experts was officially launched, and Gui Haichao applied for the first time after learning about it, and after three years of screening, he stood out from 2,500 candidates and became one of the four reserve payload experts.

In the end, he boarded the spaceship, and there was a lucky bonus, but more often, it was a heavenly reward.

After this fire came out of the circle, we can get a glimpse of Gui Haichao's life of "moving forward at double speed", and also vaguely piece together his complete boyhood from the descriptions of his relatives and friends.

Can endure hardships, be the most diligent, not relaxed, not slack...

This is the word that everyone repeatedly mentions when talking about Gui Haichao, and it is also a true portrayal of Gui Haichao's journey.

His classmates described him as follows: "Yunnan people, black, thin, military training kicks are moving smoothly, and the instructor can't break Xiao Guizi." ”

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

The "little Guizi" in this sentence suddenly made the young man who was looking up at the starry sky in the deep mountains come alive.

Someone sighed: "The residents of that small town may not have been to many provincial capitals and capitals, and there is actually a child who is going to the universe." ”

What an amazing and shocking moment.

Gui Haichao, born in the mountains, has the sea written in his name, and finally sails to the stars.

There was also a netizen's comment that made Mi Gran's mother cry directly:

"My family lives in the middle school where he attends, and my kitchen is opposite the cabin where he lived in high school. Every day at dusk, I would hear him reading aloud and reciting aloud. When he was a child, he was playful and was often dragged by his father to watch him study.

Through that screen, I didn't know that what I was seeing was the past of an astronaut. ”

In fact, Beihang, where Gui Haichao is located, is the place where many "small-town subjectists" realize their dreams.

Su Yunshui, a humanities and art blogger who also graduated from Beihang, said this -

"My alma mater, Beihang, is the school where these small towns are concentrated. We're dirty, we're clumsy, we have a strong accent, and we don't know how to fit into high society.

The teaching area of Beihang is full of people wearing school uniforms and glasses, carrying kettles and carrying computers to find study rooms, the whole is a high-level version of a key high school, without the romantic feeling of college in TV series...

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

Many science and engineering students I know in Beihang are the kind of small-town young people who look silly, who don't listen to each other, are humble for a while, don't know anything about all kinds of entertainment, and dress up rustic...

But when I saw the photos of alumni in my circle of friends standing in front of the big plane they participated in, I really admired them. ”

Yes, these "small-town problem makers" who chase their dreams, use their down-to-earth efforts to change their destiny, and create great value, of course, can afford everyone's admiration.

Tiptoe

Mother Mi will never forget the scene in the documentary "China Gate", pushing open the Chinese door of the college entrance examination and seeing the dreams of countless teenagers.

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

A girl in high school in the documentary said restrained and firmly:

"There is nothing here that can change my fate except knowledge, and I hope that I can make a breakthrough in my own life through reading."

"It's so cool to ride a rocket!" 36-year-old doctoral guide Dream Aerospace: He is a small-town problem solver who came out of the mountains

Their attitude towards learning is almost religious, because it is their "pass" to the future, as are the students in Gui Haichao's hometown.

Shen Sixteen launched, causing a huge sensation in Gui Haichao's hometown.

His elementary school, junior high school, and high school all broadcast the rocket launch live throughout the school, and the scene of Gui Haichao greeting the camera inspired countless students who were about to enter the examination room.

Xu Chengshan, a senior at Shidian No. 1 Middle School, said:

"Looking excited and excited, the dream is not only in the present, in the future, like Senior Gui Haichao, I will continue to persevere, on the road of learning, to create my own brilliance."

At this moment, the way the children looked at Gui Haichao slowly coincided with the young Gui Haichao who looked at Yang Liwei, and Mi Liwei's mother felt that this was the best annotation of the word "role model".

There is a lyric in "Looking Up at the Starry Sky": "On this day, I began to look up at the stars and found that my heart is not far away, and my dream is not far away, as long as you stand on tiptoe." ”

This lyric, Rice Mother wants to give it to all the small-town questioners who chase their dreams.
