Chapter 36 The "5.12" Earthquake on March 5 left an eternal name——Record of Qiu Guanghua, the Second National Moral Model

The name Qiu Guanghua is associated with the "5.12" Wenchuan Earthquake that shocked the world. The name Qiu Guanghua is associated with the history of contemporary Chinese revolutionary heroes. Together with the name Qiu Guanghua are his wife and son. At around two o'clock in the afternoon on April 3, 2010, we came to a military family area in downtown Chengdu.Qiu Guanghua's home is here, very usual.It's just that we brought a bouquet of flowers so that the guard's master immediately guessed that we were going to the "hero"'s house. "It's the third floor of the second unit." The doorman pointed in.

Pushing the door open, we came to an ordinary and peaceful dormitory. Qiu Guanghua's wife Li Diyan was at home with her son Qiu Feng and Qiu Feng's girlfriend.It was so welcoming, it was like visiting a new friend's house. We introduced ourselves and said that we had been to Qiu Guanghua's army aviation regiment during the relief work of the "5.12" earthquake two years ago.Two years have passed so quickly, just like what happened yesterday—when our "Chinese Writers Earthquake Relief Frontline Interview Group" was invited to interview Qiu Guanghua's troops, Qiu Guanghua and his comrades were nervously participating in the rescue of the disaster area.The leaders of the army met with us a few first-level pilots and special-level pilots who were resting, and Qiu Guanghua only met us—he was the busiest pilot in the Army Aviation Corps at that time, because He is skilled, and he has to go out at any time, so it is impossible to chat with us writers.

"Thank you for your hard work, learn from the heroes! I wish you a safe return!" This is what we said to the heroes who set off in full suit at that time. "Thank you writers, we must live up to the great trust of the people of our motherland!" This is what Qiu Guanghua and his comrades left us. The memory and impression that Qiu Guanghua left us is that he was a person who didn't say a word, and it was precisely to "interview and record" every detail of the earthquake, so we all wrote down "Qiu Guanghua, special grade" in our notebooks. Pilot, Qiang" these words...

On the third day after interviewing Qiu Guanghua, we returned to Beijing and learned from the news that a plane belonging to the Army Aviation Regiment had disappeared, and soon found out that Qiu Guanghua, who we had briefly interviewed, was on that plane. On the plane...one day, two days, three days...ten days, eleven days, twelve days...it was not until the tenth day that the wreckage of the missing plane was found.Qiu Guanghua and the other four crew members of the crew all died... We will always remember this scene in our minds.Since then, the people of the whole country and the whole world have known the hero and collective of "Qiu Guanghua" and "Qiu Guanghua Crew".

The hometown of the hero Qiu Guanghua is Nanxing Town, Maoxian County, Sichuan Province, one of the areas hit by the "5.12" earthquake.The grandparents of this Qiang descendant have been living under the whip of the chieftain.In pursuit of a new life, his grandfather joined the Red Army when his wife was still pregnant, and finally spilled his blood in other places.Qiu Guanghua, who grew up with the stories of his grandfather, thought, if one day he could grow a pair of wings, fly out of the mountains, and fight for the people like a heroic grandfather! In April 1974, this young man of the Qiang nationality with excellent character and learning became one of the first generation of minority pilots in my country personally selected by Premier Zhou. Qiu Guanghua was 17 years old that year.Two years later, Qiu Guanghua graduated from the aviation school and was assigned to Chengdu as an all-out student.Since then, whenever the troops have a mission, he always rushes to take the initiative to ask for a fight.After Qiu Guanghua became a martyr, journalists conducted many interviews with his comrades-in-arms, and recorded many such things——

Comrades remember that on the roof of the world, the vast snowy area has low oxygen content and unpredictable climate. It is recognized as a "flying restricted area" and "air trap" by the aviation industry.Especially for helicopters, lack of oxygen, insufficient fuel combustion, and reduced horsepower; thin air, reduced rotor displacement, and affected lift.This mysterious blue sky has always been a blank space for helicopters to fly. In December 1985, Qiu Guanghua and his comrades filled this gap for the first time. Comrades remember that in October 1999, after receiving the order to take the Taiwanese compatriots in distress out of the mountainous area of ​​Guizhou, Qiu Guanghua braved the drizzle to open a new route on the plateau with no route, saving the lives of the compatriots.

Comrades remember that during a joint live-fire drill of the three armed forces in 2000, Qiu Guanghua's crew shocked the audience with difficult tactical moves... The instructor of the flying brigade told Shouyou that Qiu Guanghua's hair was all gray and he always regarded himself as a "new comrade."He arrives before anyone else for the roll call and assembly. He is always the first to take the navigation test and physical fitness test, and he is always the first to pick up the tools for cleaning.When a helicopter company invited him to join with a generous annual salary, Qiu Guanghua refused: "One cannot forget one's origin. It is not easy for me to walk out of the mountains. The party and the people gave me everything. I will dedicate everything to the party and the people." The people." After 35 years in the army and 33 years of flying, Qiu Guanghua dedicated two-thirds of his life to the blue sky, setting up benchmarks with his life time and time again.In the eyes of the young pilots of the Army Aviation Corps, Qiu Guanghua, who has more than 5,800 hours of flying experience, is not only the elder, but also the most experienced pilot with superb skills, like a benchmark that stands in front of his eyes but cannot be surpassed.

On May 27, 1987, a snowstorm turned Medog, which had no roads, into an isolated island.On this day, Qiu Guanghua, who has flown 7 times in a row, suggested to fly again to bring in the small generators urgently needed by the villagers.When Qiu Guanghua flew to the Duoxiongla Mountain Pass at an altitude of more than 4,200 meters, he encountered a strong air current unexpectedly, and the helicopter immediately heaved violently like a flat boat in the sea.Qiu Guanghua controlled it calmly, but failed to return to the voyage.A few days later, local people found them in the vast snow-capped mountains, and Qiu Guanghua was seriously injured.According to the doctor's diagnosis, three of Qiu Guanghua's ribs were broken.Afterwards, almost everyone believed that it was impossible for Qiu Guanghua to fly again.

A year and a half later, Qiu Guanghua miraculously passed the pilot medical examination again.During the physical fitness assessment, the horizontal bar and parallel bars "fly up the bars" as before; when running 100 meters and 5,000 meters, he "scuds" as before... "You don't know, Lao Qiu has worked so hard for it!" His wife, brother Li Yan recalled that Qiu Guanghua insisted on walking home as soon as he was discharged from the hospital, and started doing morning exercises three days later.His wife loves him dearly, but she also knows that flying is a lifelong pursuit for Qiu Guanghua, a career more important than life, and he will never give up just because of an accident or injury!

Given a piece of blue sky, the eagle can spread its wings thousands of miles.The only thing engraved in Qiu Guanghua's heart is flying. For his mission, he used his life to fly! On May 12, 2008, a rare earthquake hit the northwestern tip of the Land of Abundance. For a while, the world focused on the mountain valleys and ditches in Qiu Guanghua's hometown... Just after the ground trembled, the rescue and relief battle began quickly.Qiu Guanghua's Army Aviation Regiment was near the disaster area, and his comrades were ordered to fight.At first Qiu Guanghua, an old pilot, was not included in the flight list.He was in a hurry, and he asked the regiment leader again and again to fight: "I am an old pilot, and the things at home can't overwhelm me! I am most familiar with the terrain of my hometown, let me fly!"

"Then you old Qiu wants to go, what can we do? Fly!" The group leader looked at Qiu Guanghua, who was older and more qualified than himself, and had no choice but to agree. he flew— "Hey, hello!" It was also on this day, when Qiu Guanghua flew into the sky, his wife anxiously called the phone again and again... but there was no reply.It's a broken line. After eight o'clock that night, his wife got on the phone with Qiu Guanghua. "It's okay. We may all have to participate in the rescue mission... You stay safe at home, I'm busy here!" Lao Qiu said this when he talked to his wife for the first time after the earthquake. As usual, he didn't talk much, but he was very simple. The next day, the comrades-in-arms were ordered to fly to Mao County, and only after boarding the helicopter did they find that Qiu Guanghua was already waiting in the cabin.The comrades finally "invited" him down, and Qiu Guanghua turned around and jumped into the helicopter of Yu Zhirong, the then head of the regiment. "Old Yu, your family is also in the disaster area. You understand my feelings best. You can't just watch the people in your hometown suffer!" Qiu Guanghua couldn't be persuaded, so Yu Zhirong agreed to let him fly with him as a pilot.On the third day of the earthquake, the regiment finally agreed to let Qiu Guanghua join the disaster relief battle. On the day of the expedition, the wife was worried, so she rushed to the army. When she saw her husband returned to the army safely, she was relieved. "Look at the mess here, I'll stay here to help you clean up..." The quick-witted wife bent over and moved her hands as she usually came to the team to help her husband take off his dirty and sweaty clothes . In the evening, the wife added another joy—Qiu Feng, her son who was in the same army aviation regiment as her husband, also appeared in front of her safely.The wife was very happy, but also very worried.I am happy that the two closest relatives of my family are both in the army, and they are both in the same army. They are both good.During the earthquake relief mission, what worried me was that my husband and son were fighting on the front line. If there was a mistake, wouldn't that mean the sky would fall? It's okay, let's go back.Qiu Guanghua was still the same as usual. In the following days, Qiu Guanghua went into battle more and more nervously.The fierce battle for earthquake relief kept the three members of the Qiu family so busy that they didn't even have time to play on their mobile phones. On May 26, Qiu Guanghua flew into Wenchuan to transport the wounded.The steep ground, the canyon is only more than 100 meters wide, and 5 high-voltage lines block the descending route in sequence.Due to the landslide, the river water rose, and the original river beach became a swamp, and there was no place to land.Seeing people running with the helicopter, waving clothes of various colors, Qiu Guanghua was very anxious.He dropped again and again, pulled up again and again, hovered in the air for more than 30 minutes, and after hovering and descending 11 times, he finally passed through the wire network and forcibly descended.Afterwards he said: "The wounded are below, and we have to go down even if we risk our lives." Breaking into Wenchuan, flying to Qingchuan, and flying over Maoxian County, Qiu Guanghua and his comrades crossed the limit of life and death time and time again, sending the party's warmth and hope of life to the disaster area time and time again.This time, the eagle stayed in the sky above the land they loved, flying forever but failed to bring out a note of safety... "One day, I went to my father and saw that he and the crew brought back a note full of one or two They were brought back by the victims." His son Qiu Feng said: "Actually, my grandfather's family was also in the disaster area, but my father never said a word about what happened to my grandfather and them in front of me." In fact, the house of Qiu Guanghua's hometown was also destroyed in the earthquake, and his parents who were over 80 years old lived in shacks. Qiu Guanghua didn't know this until 5 days after the earthquake.After the earthquake, Qiu Guanghua flew over his hometown many times.During an airdrop tent mission, the delivery point happened to be near his hometown. When the helicopter hovered, Qiu Guanghua clearly saw his collapsed house for the first time, but he still did not land and go home.After returning to Chengdu, my younger brother called and said that he had picked up a tent he delivered and had already set it up for his elderly parents.Unexpectedly, Qiu Guanghua severely criticized his younger brother and asked his younger brother to immediately hand over the tent to the local disaster relief center for the more severely affected villagers. At 12 o'clock on May 31, the crew received an order to transport 10 epidemic prevention experts to Li County.Qiu Guanghua, who was resting with his eyes closed, had already carried out two sorties that day, jumped up and went straight to Zhanying.Just like the previous 63 flights, when Qiu Guanghua flew to the earthquake-stricken area, people waited quietly, waiting for them to bring back the wounded and a lot of notes to report the safety of the people in the disaster area.However, this time, the eagle stayed in the sky above the land they loved, flying forever.With guilt towards his loved ones, Qiu Guanghua wrote his great love on the blue sky... Before noon that day, the three members of Qiu Guanghua's family were actually at the airport, and they had a final get-together, the usual kind of get-together. Qiu Feng recalled to us: "My mother came to the army from Chengdu before noon that day. I called my father on the mobile phone and asked him if he was free. What did my father say? Let’s have a meal together. As soon as Dad heard that Mom was coming, he said yes. It was about 12:20 when he made this call. After about 20 minutes, Dad came over and had dinner with Mom and I. I think he has some Tired, wearing flight suits on. This is the last time our family of three get together. Seeing that Dad is busy, Mom asked with concern: "Be careful!" Dad didn't even lift his eyelids. Said: "Safety will not be a problem. It's just that the mission is quite tense." I know my father's skills. He is an excellent pilot in the whole regiment and even the whole army. He can handle any danger. Dad himself said that, and I admire it very much, but there is indeed a trace of uneasiness. After all, the rescue mission of the earthquake is too heavy, and Dad must pay attention to safety. I didn’t say this, but together with Mom He gave him a hard look. Dad seemed to see that we were worried about him, smiled, and when he wanted to say something more, the phone at the airport control tower rang, telling him to go back to the plane immediately. Dad has another task. Dad took a look at us, then got up and left. After a while, I called him on the mobile phone and asked where to fly. Dad told me, fly to Li County. I know, it takes about two and a half hours to fly to and from Li County. So Then I said to my dad: Mom is waiting for you to come back! Dad just said: Okay. At about 2:40, a pilot came back and said that my dad’s plane had gone somewhere. At that time, I didn’t think much of it. I cared too much, because it was extremely difficult to fly to Yingxiu area at that time, and the ground and the plane were often out of contact for a while. I think my father's flying skills are the highest, so there will be no problem. But after all, I am worried that there will be no accidents for my father. Then I called his mobile phone at 2:48, and the response was 'out of service area'. After another ten minutes, I called again, and the response was: 'The mobile phone you dialed has been turned off.' This response surprised me because I knew that I really lost contact with my dad. But I didn’t panic at the time. I hurriedly looked for his mobile phone charger by Dad’s bedside. Dad has a problem. He usually throws the charger away after charging. I want to find the charger to prove whether he has charged it today. If he can’t find the charger, then he may not be charged. If the charger is thrown by the bed or something, it proves that he is charged. If it is charged , the phone is off now, so maybe something is really wrong. I was like, I hope I can't find his charger, so that proves that there is a possibility that Dad has not charged this day... The charger is really not found. I think I breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly comforted my mother. But my mother was already very nervous and sensitive and wiped away tears. I quickly advised her, "It's okay. It's okay." After all, my mother is also a person who has experienced it. She also believes in Dad's flight as I do. Technology. So we were all convinced that nothing would happen to my dad, just lost contact with the ground for a while, and the disaster area was almost blocked at that time, and anything could happen. But my mom and IWhat I didn't expect was that my father would say goodbye to us forever..." His wife, Li Diyan, would never believe that her husband would leave her suddenly.She would never believe it anyway, because she had always been proud of her husband's flying skills and character for so many years.He's the best pilot in the world, he's the best man in the world— After the earthquake, she went to her husband's army three times. The first time was on the 14th, and the second time was around the 20th. Everything was normal in the first two times. "I just feel that he and his comrades are working hard, and the resting place is very messy. I am a family member, so naturally I will stay to help him wash clothes and tidy up messy things when I see this. When I woke up on the morning of the 31st, I seemed to feel that It was time to go to the army to see him and his son again, so we rushed to the army aviation regiment after breakfast. I met my son first. I met with Guanghua at noon. He usually doesn’t talk much, so the three of us were together at noon this day It took more than 20 minutes before and after eating. While eating, I was talking about rescuing the victims. I saw that he was very tired, so I said: What's the problem? Be careful! He held the rice bowl and glanced at me , just said: 'Nothing. There will be no safety issues'. This was the last conversation between our husband and wife for decades. After a while, he left, walking naturally as usual. I listened to it at dinner that day Said that his plane did not fly back. Although I was very worried at the time, I never thought that he would have an accident, because I believed in his technology. I have followed him for twenty or thirty years, and I have experienced all kinds of thrilling things. Every time he is mediocre An An came back to me. This time I also believe that he will come back, but..." Li Diyan choked up. On the evening of May 31, Li Diyan returned from the army to her home in Chengdu. She was waiting for news of her husband, so she stayed up all night.Her mind is full of scenes of her husband Qiu Guanghua and her decades of ups and downs... When did you first meet him?When did you meet him and the plane? Hmm - Li Diyan remembered: The first time I saw a real helicopter up close was when I first met Qiu Guanghua.Together with her girlfriend, she went to see Qiu Guanghua at Fenghuangshan Airport in the northern suburbs of Chengdu.The first time she saw the grass-green iron lump with two pieces of iron stuck in it, she felt incredible: Can this iron lump also fly? It was Qiu Guanghua who fell in love with this petite Chengdu girl at a glance. He pointed to different parts of the helicopter and acted as a commentator: This is the cabin, the place where the aircraft is loaded with people and things; this is the cockpit, where I sit and operate Aircraft; this is the rotor, which is used to lift the aircraft forward; this is the empennage—even though it is small, it has a great effect. It is all about counteracting the torque generated by the rotor and providing the aircraft with the power to move forward. His eyes were so hot that he said: If we become a family, I will be this big rotor, you are so small, this tail, we fly together, no one can do without each other, we fly back to our Qiang village together, fly All over the motherland, you know?Our Qiang nationality is the only one among the 56 nationalities in the motherland that lives above the colorful clouds. Which girl can stand such a love offensive? Li Diyan's face was flushed and hot, and the heat went all the way to her whole body... However, Li Diyan, a petite and weak girl from Chengdu, never thought of what it meant to be married to a Qiang cottage who first became an air force pilot and later became an army pilot. The first time I went with Qiu Guanghua to his in-law's house in Mao County, Sichuan was in March.The bus kept bumping on the mountain road, and Li Diyan felt like a pea sifted on a dustpan, shaking until his bones were about to fall apart.After driving the car for a long time, when we arrived at Nanxing Town, there was no road ahead. There was only a vast expanse of whiteness between the sky and the earth, and the dense snowflakes stuck together and fell down one by one.Qiu Guanghua's home is still far away on the mountain.A native Chengdu girl, when did she walk through such a mountain road!She gritted her teeth, braved the heavy snow, and climbed up step by step.Qiu Guanghua walked in front, turning around from time to time and stretching out his hand to pull her.She climbed along the steep mountain path for three hours.How steep is the mountain road?She was worried all the way that her nose would be flattened by the mountain wall. After entering the house, Li Diyan was surprised by the shabbyness of the house. There was no decent furniture, let alone electrical appliances. However, Li Diyan knew that since he fell in love with Qiu Guanghua, he had to love Qiu Guanghua. His home, his family, including his living environment.After dinner, I ate steamed pickled cabbage noodles.What is Steamed Sauerkraut Noodles?It is cornmeal mixed with homemade sauerkraut soup.The father-in-law and mother-in-law knew that she was not used to eating, so they specially cooked white rice. Li Diyan didn't eat it, and asked Qiu Guanghua to eat it. He is a pilot, so nutrition must be ensured.I'll try something new.She ate it in big mouthfuls, it looked very fragrant.Her performance surprised her father-in-law, mother-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, and even Qiu Guanghua couldn't help but look at her with admiration: I didn't expect that you, a Chengdu girl, have suffered so much! However, no one knew that from then on, whenever she thought of going back to her hometown in Mao County, Li Diyan couldn't sleep that night, and she was afraid of the bumpy road and the endless mountain road.Even so, she resolutely set foot on the return journey the next day, even more frequently than Qiu Guanghua.Because Qiu Guanghua wants to fly, at this time, she already understands: flying requires full devotion, concentration and concentration, and the most taboo is distraction.Her father-in-law and mother-in-law are sick, she has to go back; the house at home has collapsed, she has to go back; Qiu Guanghua has eight brothers and sisters, Qiu Guanghua is the eldest of the boys, and she has to go back if any younger siblings can't handle things; No, Qiu Guanghua was busy flying and couldn't go back, so she went back alone.In the eyes of the younger siblings, the sister-in-law is not only an indispensable member of the big family, but also the pillar of the big family. No matter how big or small, she always asks the sister-in-law for advice.Brother, it doesn't matter.Everyone knows that he knows how to fly his plane.In this regard, Li Diyan is not without complacency, and has a good feeling of being in power!At that time, Qiu Guanghua's younger siblings were still young, and the family's finances were very difficult.Li Diyan saves a sum of money every month and sends it home once every six months.One hundred yuan at a time.You know, at that time, the monthly income of the couple could not exceed one hundred yuan. In 1983, due to the age, the beams of the house broke and the house collapsed. Fortunately, no one was hit, but the house had to be rebuilt.When Li Diyan heard the news, she was extremely anxious, but she couldn't come up with any money, so she borrowed two thousand yuan from her mother and sent it back.The two thousand yuan at that time was still very valuable. Not only did the house be repaired, but an extra room was also repaired. In 1982, his son Qiu Feng was born.This pilot house begins to be complete, begins to be filled with more laughs, and begins to have more trivial matters... Regardless of the current son Qiu Feng's tall, burly, and handsome appearance, he was a sick child when he was a child, and he made his mother Li Diyan miserable.At that time, she was working in the commercial department, either in the morning shift or in the evening shift, and the children were all taken care of by her parents and elder brother.When she came back from get off work, as long as she saw colorful diapers hanging on the door and window from a distance, she knew something was wrong, the child was sick again, and waiting for her was another sleepless night.Once, the child suffered from a viral cold and had a persistent high fever. She was taken to the hospital at midnight for injections and infusions. There was a huge emergency room, just her mother and her son. She was so scared and lonely.When she brought her home, the child still had a fever and did not open his eyes, so she kept applying ice water to his forehead and limbs.My mother rushed over after hearing the news and advised her: "It's your doll, it's your doll; if it's not your doll, you can't keep it even if you want to."She cried out loudly: I want to keep him!I will keep him! At that time, Qiu Guanghua's troops were stationed in Yibin, Sichuan, and had flying missions every day.Li Diyan rushed out several times, picked up the public phone, wanted to call Qiu Guanghua, dialed halfway, and then stopped.So what if I told him?Come back?Is it possible to fly away?If it is inseparable, wouldn't it just add to his mental burden and affect his flight?Li Diyan gritted her teeth and returned to her son.At three o'clock in the morning, my son finally had a fever.On the way to work, she called Qiu Guanghua: What are you doing? to fly. Oh, be careful. How about you? I... Li Diyan almost cried, she wanted to say, I am so tired, sleepy, scared, worried, and full of grievances and complaints.However, how can all this be finished in a few words?So what?She made up her mind: I'm fine, I went to work. it is good! After being married to Qiu Guanghua for a long time, Li Diyan gradually got used to this kind of situation where the big and small things in the family were shouldered. In order to let Qiu Guanghua fly with peace of mind, Li Diyan quit her job after her son went to middle school , Concentrate on taking care of the children and housekeeping.The longer the time, the more deeply she realized the difficulty of being a pilot's wife, that is, being the "tail" as Qiu Guanghua called it. Qiu Guanghua was one of the first batch of special-level pilots in his regiment, and he was also a flight instructor. He had flown several new helicopters equipped by our army, and he also brought many students with him. In terms of flying skills, he was top-notch in the regiment.In this regard, Li Diyan is very proud and relieved.However, flying is a profession with a relatively high risk factor, especially in the southwest theater, where the terrain is complex and the climate is changeable. It is impossible to carry out combat preparation tasks, disaster relief and emergency rescue tasks, and leave as soon as you say it.Qiu Guanghua encountered an accident when he was flying a Black Hawk helicopter to perform a mission in Tibet. At that time, everyone knew the news, except Li Diyan, who really didn't find out. One day at noon, Qiu Guanghua called, and his tone was the same as usual: What are you doing? go to work! OK, I'll be back tomorrow. Li Diyan was pleasantly surprised to be back so soon!I'll make braised pork for you! OK! She put down the phone and hurriedly told her parents and brother.My brother asked: Are you really coming back? real. Did Guanghua call you personally? yes! That's good, that's good! Li Diyan didn't hear right, and asked: What's the matter?What are you hiding from me? Only then did her brother tell her: Qiu Guanghua had been missing for three days. Li Diyan was shocked: Why didn't you tell me? This is arranged by the organization, in case you are in a hurry. Li Diyan was circling around the room anxiously.At noon, Qiu Guanghua came back, his comrades helped him into the house, his face was pale and he lost a lot of weight.In the accident, he broke three ribs.Fortunately, the local people found him and walked all night on a stretcher before sending him down from the snow mountain. Because of this incident, Li Diyan blamed herself for a long time. When her husband was struggling on the line of life and death, the wife didn't know anything about it.She grabbed Qiu Guanghua's sleeve: From now on, no matter what happens, you have to tell me, the first to tell me! good or not? it is good! She stared at her husband lying on the bed for a long time, hesitated to speak several times. Qiu Guanghua saw through her thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: You, do you want me to change my career? Li Diyan said nothing. She had been thinking about this in her heart for a long time, but she just couldn't say it.In fact, even if he said it, would Qiu Guanghua listen?She can be the master of all issues, but on this issue, she has to listen to Qiu Guanghua. Flying is his career, and it is his love that he has devoted all his efforts to!She couldn't even imagine what Qiu Guanghua would look like once he stopped flying. Qiu Guanghua told her a long time ago that he was the first Qiang to fly into the blue sky. In 1974, Premier Zhou Enlai, who was seriously ill, instructed the People's Air Force to recruit a group of pilot students from ethnic minorities.Qiu Guanghua was in high school, so he went to Malkang for a physical examination with a large group of teenagers. There were two large trucks full of people, and only two were selected in the end, and one of them was Qiu Guanghua.Then, together with more people, I went to the provincial capital Chengdu for a physical examination. In the end, only Qiu Guanghua was left, and his weight was not up to the standard.The leaders brought Qiu Guanghua to the county's People's Armed Forces Department. They ate and drank delicious food every day, and then played basketball. In more than a month, they forced Qiu Guanghua to gain weight and reached the standard.Qiu Guanghua entered the aviation school of the People's Air Force and eventually became a helicopter pilot.The Qiang nationality is a nation that lives above the colorful clouds, but I am the only one who really flies above the colorful clouds.As long as I have a breath, I will fly until I can't fly and the organization grounds me. This moment is getting closer day by day.By April and May 2009, Qiu Guanghua will be grounded according to regulations. 52 years old is the maximum age limit for a pilot. At this time, Qiu Guanghua has already flown more than 5,000 hours. More than 5000 hours!This is a helicopter where every second counts, not a Boeing aircraft that takes hours on a flight.He is already a veteran super pilot, deputy teacher, and air force colonel, and the students he leads are all over the world. It should be said that he has achieved fame.His son Qiu Feng also got a marriage certificate with his girlfriend, so what else is there to worry about?From now on, it is time to remove the rotor, rest with peace of mind, and travel easily.In their spare time, the couple studied the map several times, and finally decided that there is Suzhou and Hangzhou under heaven, so let’s go to Suzhou and Hangzhou. At this time, the 5.12 earthquake occurred.All the plans and plans in the past have all become "fantasies"... The Army Aviation Regiment where my husband works is stationed in the suburbs of Chengdu, and immediately received an order: emergency dispatch for earthquake relief.Qiu Guanghua set off immediately by plane.Before boarding the plane, he called his wife: Aftershocks continue, you should stay in the army, I am so relieved. Li Diyan said: No, I can't get through to the phone now. I live at home, so I can keep calling my parents in Mao County. They can find me if they need anything. Then you must be careful. You have to be careful! Coincidentally, Qiu Guanghua flew to Mao County, the hardest-hit area, as the first stop on his mission.On the tarmac, Mao County Deputy Magistrate Gao immediately called Qiu Guanghua's second brother when he saw Qiu Guanghua.The second brother rushed over and shouted from a distance: Brother, don't worry, our whole family is fine.It's just that one of the houses was downturned and they lived in tents. Qiu Guanghua later told Li Diyan: Now I can rest assured, I can do everything in my power to rescue the people in the disaster area. After the earthquake, Li Diyan called Qiu Guanghua every day, but she never got through.She knew it was because her husband was in heaven.She was anxious, so she rushed to the army and came to Qiu Guanghua's dormitory.As soon as she entered the door, she was slightly taken aback. The dormitory was in a mess, not as neat and orderly as usual.She sighed and began to tidy up.At this time, Qiu Guanghua came back.Li Diyan said, I will make the bed for you, so you should take the time to sleep for a while. Qiu Guanghua said that he was still on standby.He took out a stack of notes from his pocket and started to make a call. This is the phone number that the people in the disaster area asked us to call to report their safety. Li Diyan looked at her husband distressedly, he had lost a lot of weight and looked very tired. When you have time someday, let us accompany you to improve the food! OK!Qiu Feng has also worked hard these two days!This is the first time that Li Diyan remembers that she and her husband have a smile on their faces since the earthquake: special moment, special place, it is precious for a family of three to share a light meal! Because of the shortage of manpower in the regiment, his son Qiu Feng, who is in the logistics department, boarded the plane eight times to perform the task of guarding and delivering supplies.Following Qiu Guanghua, the Mi-171 flew over the disaster area four times.However, one day when he came back from a mission, Qiu Guanghua stared at his son, and told Qiu Feng very seriously: You don't want to fly with me anymore. There are enough people in the regiment, so don't get on the plane again.Qiu Feng felt strange, but later remembered that once when flying to Mao County, the plane broke down suddenly. However, Qiu Guanghua was not afraid of the danger, dealt with it decisively, and flew the plane back safely.Qiu Feng was really happy and proud of his father.However, when he met Dad's pleading gaze, he nodded earnestly. Two days later, Qiu Guanghua came home when he had some free time. The family of three had a meal of Qiu Guanghua's favorite dish, Beijing Roast Duck. This was the first time Qiu Guanghua saw the tent set up by his wife. A smile appeared on his face. It was not bad. Well!After finishing speaking, I returned to the army... Oriental Lubai. It's June 1st.Li Di Yanqiang braced himself up from the bed.She was still thinking about what she said yesterday afternoon when she and her husband parted for the last time.By the way, I see his shoes are dirty, take them off and wash them.But he said: No, I'm leaving soon.At this time, the tower phone at the airport rang, ordering him to take off. That's how he goes. On this day, a piece of news was broadcast on the TV news: a crew member of an army aviation regiment of the People's Liberation Army participating in the earthquake relief was missing.There were five crew members on board, and the crew leader was special pilot Qiu Guanghua... Li Diyan was told again that the time to see her husband was June 13.The day was cloudy and rainy, and the sky wept.A huge coffin pick-up team consisting of the guard of honor of the three services of the People's Liberation Army, thousands of officers and soldiers, and local cadres and masses appeared in front of Li Diyan.At that moment, her eyes were blurred, only silent tears were flowing. "Guanghua, you are finally back, my son and I are here to pick you up..." Li Diyan's cheeks were pressed tightly against her husband's cold urn, and time froze for a long time... "Dad is a real hero. He has never cared about his own safety in his life, and has always put the task first. He is highly skilled and courageous. If it weren't for the special weather and harsh environment, plus If there is a performance problem with the helicopter he is driving, he will never have an accident." When his son Qiu Feng talked about his father, his expression was full of pride and respect. "The first time I flew on his plane was when I was eleven or twelve years old. Since then, I think my father is very great. If it weren't for my short-sighted eyes, I would definitely be a pilot like my father " Qiu Feng told us that even so, he still asked to work in his father's Army Aviation Corps after graduating from the military academy. Father and son are in the same regiment, which is not much in the army.Qiu's father and son can be described as special. "Apart from flying, he is at home. My dad has a deep affection for the family," said the son. "He is an old pilot, he is very serious about teaching apprentices, and he never discriminates against anyone. He treats them equally regardless of whether they fly well or not, and he sincerely teaches and guides. He always believes that players are players, and stars are stars. How to grow from a player为球星，这是需要努力和下苦功的。他对年轻的徒弟们经常这样传授道：是你跟着飞机走，还是飞机跟着你走，这是一个优秀飞行员必然超越的一个境界。” “技术高超，胆大心细，忠诚老实，充满爱心，这是爸爸的全部品质。”儿子凝视着父亲的遗像，这样深情地说道。 墙上，挂着的是胡锦涛总书记到成都视察地震灾区时与邱光华烈士机组的家属们一起合影的照片。 在我们到邱光华家采访的前一天——2010年4月2日下午，成都市各界在烈士陵园举行了隆重的邱光华英雄机组烈士骨灰安葬仪式。艳阳下，鲜花簇拥下的那座英雄机组的大型浮雕巍然耸立在中心广场，从此每天接受着市民和前来瞻仰的人们的致敬。 而在邱光华的那个普通而温馨的家里，我们仿佛感觉英雄仍然活着，仍然以丈夫和父亲的身份在呵护着自己的妻子和儿子……
