Astronaut Wu Jie
In some lives, you can strongly feel that there is something that is less lucky. The hard work is enough, the opportunity has arrived, and the conditions are ripe, but it is something that lacks a little luck at the critical moment. Mistakes, backfire, and disobedience are the real life.
Astronaut Wu Jie is undoubtedly such a life.
Wu Jie, born in Wuhan in October 1963, with the dream of soaring into the blue sky, Wu Jie was admitted to the Air Force Engineering University during the college entrance examination.
When he graduated from college, he was just in time for the Air Force pilot pilot, and Wu Jie was successfully selected for training at the Third Air Force Aviation School, and then became a pilot. During his time as a pilot, he accumulated 1,000 flight hours. Later, he successively served as an astronaut and astronaut instructor of the astronaut brigade of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
However, Wu Jie is a somewhat sad life and a somewhat tragic story.
Wu Jie missed flying into space four times in 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2012, and retired in 2014 to engage in aerospace science popularization.
Who said that life must be successful and complete? Those lives with rich experience and rich processes are like sweet brew that lasts for a long time, so that they are more mellow and sweet, have a long charm, and have an endless aftertaste!
Wu Jie
In 1995, at the age of 32, Wu Jie participated in the selection of astronaut coaches, and the basic condition for the selection at that time was that the flight time was more than 600 hours.
In 1996, Wu Jie was selected by the organization to participate in the relevant project training in Russia, and he completed all the subjects in only one year and graduated successfully. And got the Soyuz spacecraft commander certificate, which was also the only time that Russia awarded a certificate to foreigners at that time, after returning from Russia, Wu Jie also officially became a reserve astronaut from the original ground astronaut instructor.

In 1998, the Chinese People's Liberation Army astronaut brigade was born, and Wu Jie and 13 other comrades-in-arms became China's first batch of astronauts.
In 2003, China finally ushered in a manned space mission, and Wu Jie was narrowly defeated in the astronaut echelon. This is Wu Jie's first failed astronaut selection. At the age of 40, in the prime of life, Wu Jie drank bitter tears alone and warned himself to make persistent efforts and wait for the coming day.
In 2005, Shenzhou 6 planned to carry two astronauts into space, and Wu Jie and Zhai Zhigang partnered with two other groups of astronauts to enter the mission echelon, but in the end they did not have the opportunity to fly into space. This is the second time he has been defeated, and he was 42 years old.
On September 25, 2008, Shenzhou 7 was successfully launched, and Wu Jie, the astronaut who piloted Shenzhou 7, was defeated again, and he took the initiative to apply to be a instructor for out-of-cabin activities. This is the third time Wu Jie has lost the election, and he was 45 years old at the time.
In 2012, Wu Jie once again ushered in the opportunity to fly into space, at this time Wu Jie was 49 years old and lived half a hundred. But this time, one of the three astronauts was asked to be a female astronaut and the other was an astronaut who had been to the sky, and Wu Jie once again missed the opportunity.
In March 2014, Wu Jie retired from active astronaut sequence. In the career of an astronaut, he was awarded 1 second-class merit and 1 third-class merit. After three years of suspension, he chose to work at the China Space Foundation to carry out aerospace science popularization, carry out aerospace public welfare, and publicize aerospace and promote aerospace.
As one of China's first astronauts, Wu Jie failed to be selected as an astronaut four times, from Shao Guangnian to sideburns and hair dyeing cream, although he did not realize his dream of space, he is also a space hero, and he is also worthy of flowers and applause.
Four selections, Wu Jie waited the same, the same hard training, however, paid, sweated, and ended without him, in fact, it's really not that he is not good, maybe it's just a little bit of bad luck, a little bit. No one is always so lucky, no one has a result if they work hard, and there are many things in the world without results, don't judge heroes by success or failure, don't judge heroes by results, those behind the scenes, obscure efforts, strugglers, and too many unsung heroes who have persisted for decades are the most respectable people in this era and this history.
Wu Jie publicized and promoted aerospace
Wu Jie's fate is the fate of countless ordinary people, there are countless people on all fronts and in all fields, they are silently dedicated, silently struggling, silently pursuing, silently working hard, it is they who make our days, our lives better day by day, they will always be the most respectable people.
Countless ordinary people are also repeating Wu Jie's fate, working hard to the extreme, but there is no merit, no fame, no profit, and even no name, however, they have never given up, they have not slackened, and they have repeated the monotonous work day after day, just for their children and grandchildren, and for future generations, they will always be the most lovely people.
Who said that life must be fulfilling? How can life be fulfilled? Mistakes and things backfire are the lives of most people. Don't be harsh on life, don't be harsh on yourself, don't be harsh on others, let go of yourself, let go of others, and live a good life easily, so that it can be regarded as complete.
Learning from a generation of astronauts, learning from countless unsung aerospace heroes like Wu Jie, and being a real master of life is the most important thing for us.
Romain Rolland said: "The real heroes are those who recognize the essence of life and still love him as always." "Undoubtedly, Wu Jie is such a person, and most of us are also such people, working diligently, working hard, working hard, regardless of fame and fortune, doing a good job of what is at hand, doing a good job of what is under our feet, repeating it day by day, doing every little thing to the extreme, to achieve perfection, no regrets about a trip to the world, no regrets about the world to come.
Such a life is lucky enough!
Learn from Wu Jie, the behind-the-scenes hero of Yongyun's aerospace industry, and be an ordinary but extremely great person like him, and a small but extremely noble person.
