Shenzhou XII flying! The picture of a young designer being interviewed at the launch site has brushed the circle of friends of Urumqi people in recent days. He is Gao Xu, the overall deputy chief designer of the Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft system of the General Design Department of the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, a native of Urumqi, Xinjiang.
He used 100 points as a passing line for the aerospace exam papers
"You're on fire! Be proud of you! On the night of the successful launch of Shenzhou 12, Zeng Mei, head of the physics teaching and research team of the city's first middle school, sent a screenshot of the circle of friends to Gao Xu.
"I was discovered." A few minutes later, Gao Xu sent a reply letter, accompanied by a mischievous tongue-out expression.
Behind the interesting conversation is the friendship between a teacher and a student for 20 years.
In 1998, Gao Xu was admitted to the Urumqi No. 1 Middle School, Zeng Mei was his physics teacher, talking about Gao Xu, Zeng Mei's face was full of proud smiles: "Watching him grow from a childish teenager to the backbone of the national aerospace industry, as a teacher I am proud of him." ”
Zeng Mei is 14 years older than Gao Xu and is more like a friend as a teacher.
"Physics is of interest to Gao Xu, and on weekends and winter and summer vacations, he will come to me with seven or eight classmates who like physics and study the problem together!"
Speaking of the Shenzhou spacecraft and Gao Xu, Zeng Mei told an interesting story: in 1999, Shenzhou No. 1 was launched. This year, Gao Xu, a sophomore in high school, participated in the National Physics Competition for Middle School Students, and there was a fill-in-the-blank question about Shenzhou No. 1. Gao Xu miswrote "Shenzhou" as "Shenzhou" and deducted 2 points.
Pictured: The reporter remade the graduation photo of the fourth class of 2001 high school students of Urumqi No. 1 Middle School. Among them, the second row of the upper number and the ninth place on the left number are Gao Xu.
He eventually won the first prize in the autonomous region, but he will always remember this mistake.
Until now, Gao Xu often mentioned this matter, and in WeChat, he and Zeng Mei joked: "If you write a wrong question, you will do Shenzhou." ”
Gao Xu said in an interview before: "The biggest challenge for me is how to do it 100% accurately. Because the full score of the aerospace examination paper is 100 points, the passing line is also 100 points, and 99 points are not good, that is, it is not passed, because if it is wrong, it may lead to irreparable consequences. ”
From Shenzhou No. 9, Shenzhou No. 10, Shenzhou No. 11, and Shenzhou No. 12, Gao Xu, as a new force, has grown rapidly under the guidance of his predecessors, and now he has taken the lead alone and provoked the girder.
Sending a message to students all over Xinjiang who have dreams to create wonderful
Shenzhou XII was perfectly lifted off, and Gao Xu was still busy at his post. And one story about him has spread on campus: Gao Xu achieved excellent results during his undergraduate period, and he went straight to master's and doctoral degrees.
When faced with the choice of major, he dialed Zeng Mei's phone and told the teacher that he wanted to shift from "thermal direction" to "mechanics direction" and learn engineering physics.
Zeng Mei said that this direction will be very difficult and arduous. But Gao Xu said confidently: "I am not afraid of difficulties, the more difficult I want to challenge." In the field of physics, I am confident that I can learn well in any major. ”
In 2008, Gao Xu was still studying for a Doctorate at Tsinghua University. When Zeng Mei went to Beijing, Gao Xu invited her to visit the laboratory.
"When we met again, he was still like a child. Excitedly, he took me on a tour of the laboratory and demonstrated high-end experimental instruments. Zeng Mei said.
After graduating with a ph.D. in 2010, Gao Xu joined the development team of the Shenzhou spacecraft.
When he first started working, I asked him what he was responsible for, and he told me that he was in charge of clearing the rocket before launch. Zeng Mei said.
"Gao Xu has many opportunities to go abroad, but he said: I don't go, the country cultivates me, I want to give back to my country and build my country." Zeng Mei said.
Serve the motherland and practice the original intention! Gao Xu fulfilled his promise.

On the evening of June 18, Gao Xu sent a video in which he wished the students of Xinjiang to learn and progress, and everyone could have and adhere to their dreams and create their own wonderful lives.
