At 20:59 on April 25, 2024, the Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft successfully flew into the sky amid all the attention. All the Chinese people were enthusiastic, and Pei County, Jiangsu, the hometown of astronaut Li Guangsu, was jubilant.

The crew of the Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft is composed of three astronauts, Li Guangsu, Ye Guangfu, and Li Cong, with Ye Guangfu serving as the commander.

Li Guangsu is the only liberal arts student in the crew, born in the countryside, this rural baby who helped his mother chase snakes in the rice field when he was a child, has become the pride of all Chinese people tonight......

01

Li Guangsu was born in July 1987 in Wangmengzhuang Natural Village, Zhongzha Village, Huzhai Town, Pei County, Jiangsu Province, his mother Xu Guilan is from Hebei, and his father Li Houlin is from Jiangsu, both of whom are farmers.

Li Guangsu has an older sister above and a younger brother below. Due to the large number of children in the family, Li Houlin works in the city all the year round, and his wife Xu Guilan farms at home.

Li Guangsu has been very sensible since he was a child, and often helps his mother with his sister in farm work.

Pei County mainly grows rice, with two crops a year. Li Guangsu's family has 5 acres of paddy fields, his father is not at home, and his mother uses him as a man.

When Li Guangsu was in elementary school, his mother was poisoned by spraying pesticides in the field and fainted on the edge of the paddy field. Li Guangsu found out about his mother's abnormality and immediately called his sister.

With the help of neighbors, the siblings took their mother to the hospital. Due to the timely treatment, Xu Guilan turned the corner.

After that, Li Guangsu helped his mother go to the field to apply pesticides, and the sprayer pressed on his immature shoulder, which made his mother feel distressed.

When harvesting rice in the middle of summer, there were snakes in the field, Xu Guilan was very scared, she didn't dare to go down to the field to cut rice, and she was so anxious that she sat on the ridge and cried.

Li Guangsu's sister and younger brother are also afraid of snakes, so they sit next to their mother and wipe their tears together. When his father was not at home, Li Guangsu felt that he should be a man, so he brought a bamboo pole from home and went to the paddy field to catch snakes.

In each paddy field, Li Guangsu was able to drive out a few water snakes. After driving the snake away, Li Guangsu helped his mother cut the rice together. This bold and filial rural child has been praised by relatives, friends and neighbors.

When Li Guangsu was in junior high school, the plane flew through the sky, and when he looked up at the plane, his heart would be filled with beautiful reverie. Others think that the roar of the plane is harsh, but Li Guangsu thinks it is pleasant music.

Li Guangsu studied hard and was at the top of his class, and his goal was to get a good job in the future.

After graduating from junior high school, Li Guangsu was admitted to Huxi Middle School in Peixian County with excellent results, he liked to read aerospace books, and had the dream of becoming a pilot in his sophomore year of high school.

The head teacher Zhao Fang supported him, so Li Guangsu would get up early every day to run and exercise.

When he was divided into arts and sciences in his sophomore year of high school, Li Guangsu chose liberal arts to avoid his weaknesses.

In 2006, when Li Guangsu was in his third year of high school, the news of the Air Force recruiting pilots spread in the school, and Li Guangsu and many classmates signed up for the exam.

After a rigorous selection process, Li Guangsu was fortunate to be admitted to the Air Force Aviation University in Changchun.

On August 2, 2006, Li Guangsu said goodbye to his family and went to school in Changchun. His parents put him on the train, tears of excitement welling up in their eyes.

Li Guangsu told his parents: I won't let you worry about it. Dad, I don't spend money to go to college, so you don't have to go to the city to work, and help my mother grow rice together. Mom is afraid of snakes, you can help her chase snakes in the future. My father agreed.

At the beginning of his enrollment, Li Guangsu's physical fitness assessment was far behind, his horizontal bar and parallel bars scores were almost zero, and his sprint and long-distance running scores failed.

The teacher told him that if you don't catch up within a year, the school will dissuade you.

We must not let down the peasants' parents! Li Guangsu's tenacity exploded in his bones, and he got up at 5 a.m. every day to run with sandbags tied to his calves.

The winter wind was biting, and Li Guangsu's face was blown by the wind. He practiced the horizontal bars and parallel bars frantically, and hung on the horizontal bars and parallel bars all day on Sundays.

In just one semester, Li Guangsu's physical fitness assessment results are excellent. At that moment, Li Guangsu shed tears of mixed feelings.

After graduating from university, Li Guangsu became a fighter pilot and served in a certain unit in Yunnan.

At the beginning of the flight, Li Guangsu suffered severe airsickness, which was a taboo for pilots. Moreover, the plane was jolting in the air current, and the smell of aviation kerosene in the cabin made him nauseous, and he often vomited as soon as he got off the plane.

As a result, Li Guangsu faced a grounding. Not reconciled, he began to train like a devil. When doing tumbling training, Li Guangsu's stomach was tumbling, and the food poured into his mouth, and he swallowed it back raw.

After training day after day, Li Guangsu finally overcame the motion sickness.

In order not to worry his parents, Li Guangsu hid all this from them. When the leadership of the unit announced that Li Guangsu had officially become a fighter pilot, he could not hold back his tears.

That night, Li Guangsu called his parents to report the good news, and the parents were completely unaware of their son's suffering and were proud of their son.

Xu Guilan and his wife didn't know that when Li Guangsu was talking to them on the phone, there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Li Guangsu has been a pilot for 11 years, and he rarely returns to his hometown, and he stays at home for a short time each time.

Li Guangsu loves to eat the pot chicken made by his mother, when he was a child, his family was poor, Xu Guilan rarely made it for his son, but now the family conditions are good, but his son rarely goes home.

Therefore, every time her son comes back, even if she eats a meal at home, Xu Guilan has to make two pot chickens for her son. If her son can't finish eating, she asks him to take him on the road to eat.

Li Guangsu was very ambitious and did not get married until he was 30 years old. His wife is engaged in scientific research, and the couple have a daughter.

Xu Guilan and her husband went to the army to visit their son's family, and their daughter-in-law was very filial and bought them food and clothing, and the old couple was very happy.

Li Guangsu's parents-in-law helped their daughter and son-in-law take care of the baby, helping him and his wife relieve a lot of worries.

Xu Guilan was grateful for the dedication of her in-laws and mother-in-law, she said: It was the obligation of grandparents to take care of their granddaughters, but you have worked hard. When my mother-in-law heard these heart-warming words, she felt very comfortable.

With the vigorous development of the manned space project, the country began to select the third batch of astronauts in 2020.

At that time, Li Guangsu had become the deputy commander of the flight group of a certain brigade of the Air Force and a first-class pilot of the Air Force. After rounds of rigorous testing and selection, in September 2020, Li Guangsu successfully became the third batch of astronauts.

He is the only liberal arts student in the third batch of 18 astronauts, and was selected for the crew of the Shenzhou 18 manned mission.

As a result, Li Guangsu's family came to Beijing to work and live, but his parents-in-law did not accompany him. In order to help his son and daughter-in-law take care of the baby, Li Houlin came to Beijing to take care of his granddaughter, and his wife Xu Guilan stayed in the countryside of Pei County, Jiangsu, and the old couple lived separately.

The third group of astronauts caught up with the high-frequency space station missions, which were heavy and time-sensitive.

It is not easy to become a qualified astronaut, and the 18 astronauts all want to be selected for the crew of the Shenzhou 18 mission, compete with each other fairly, and everyone competes in secret, often learning late at night.

Li Guangsu is a liberal arts student, and it is very difficult to study science and engineering courses, and those formulas and symbols seem to him to be alien words.

Li Guangsu refused to admit defeat and studied very hard and tired. He was anxious and insomnia, and his mouth was full of blisters. When he went home at night, Li Guangsu had to study for one hour, and his father and wife put her to sleep early in order not to let their daughter disturb his study.

Li Houlin and his daughter-in-law do not watch TV at home, do not turn on the computer, and walk in socks so as not to make noise.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Li Guangsu got up to memorize the formula, and after breakfast, he rushed to the unit to attend class.

In class, Li Guangsu asked teachers and classmates for advice, and repeatedly did questions to deepen his understanding. For a while, Li Guangsu did not go home and lived in the apartment of the flight brigade. Everyone chased after me, studied harder, and the lights in the self-study classroom were not turned off before 12 o'clock at night.

Finally, Li Guangsu overcame one esoteric and difficult knowledge point after another, and kept up with the learning progress of his comrades-in-arms.

Next, Li Guangsu and his comrades-in-arms conducted 72 hours of psychological adaptation training in a narrow environment. Li Guangsu entered a sealed room, he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights, and he had to complete various assessments within the specified time.

In the case of lack of sleep, people are slow to react and mentally exhausted, and Li Guangsu is 100% energetic when he does the test every day.

If fatigue hits, he pinched his eyelids with his hands, and Li Guangsu's evaluation score was excellent.

During the 48-hour desert wilderness survival training, Li Guangsu and his comrades lived in tents. The desert has a large temperature difference between day and night, with the surface temperature reaching 75 degrees during the day and the temperature inside the tent reaching 45 degrees. They stepped out of the tent and put their feet on the sand as if they were stepping on a red-hot iron plate, burning painfully.

At night, the temperature inside the tent was only five or six degrees, and there was a strong wind outside. The sand and gravel slapped against the tent, making a roaring and terrifying sound, Li Guangsu was so cold that his whole body curled up, and he and his comrades relied on a small amount of water and dry food to fight against the harsh environment.

After several tests, Li Guangsu's results in all subjects were excellent. On April 24, 2024, the mission headquarters of the space station application and development phase decided that the Shenzhou-18 crew is composed of three astronauts: Ye Guangfu, Li Cong, and Li Guangsu.

When the good news came, Li Guangsu's alma mater and hometown were boiling, and his peasant parents also became the focus of media pursuit.

Many reporters rushed to the countryside of Pei County to interview Xu Guilan, and she said excitedly: I haven't seen my son for 5 years, and my wife has always helped my son and daughter-in-law take care of her granddaughter in Beijing. We are proud and proud from the bottom of our hearts that our son can become an astronaut and win glory for his hometown fathers and fellow villagers. As she spoke, tears welled up in Xu Guilan's eyes.

Li Guangsu's alma mater, Huxi Middle School, is also boiling. Zhang Zhiguang, the head teacher of Li Guangsu's senior high school, organized teachers and students of the school to watch the live broadcast of the Shenzhou 18 manned spacecraft on the evening of April 25.

At 20:59 that night, the spacecraft was successfully ignited and launched, and the school auditorium resounded with warm applause, and the entire Pei County was also jubilant. Li Guangsu, the peasant baby who helped his mother catch snakes in the paddy fields, became a aerospace hero and the pride of all the Chinese people.

As early as 2023, Shenzhou 16 will successfully fly into space, and there will be astronaut Zhu Yangzhu from Pei County. A year later, Li Guangsu, an astronaut from Pei County, successfully flew into the sky again, and one county can train two outstanding astronauts, which is rare in the country.

Li Guangsu's daughter is still young, and in his private bag, he put the plush toys of his two daughters. When he sees a toy, he sees it like he sees his daughter.

In an interview, Li Guangsu said with a tender face: I want to see for my daughter whether the stars in the sky blink or not.

During the Shenzhou-18 crew in orbit, they will carry out 6 out-of-cabin missions and 2 to 3 out-of-cabin activities, and Li Guangsu and two comrades-in-arms will return to the ground in late October.
