When youth meets a new era ■ air force news reporter Dongbin Yangbo Pulling the lanyard open, xuyuhao, a pilot of an air force aviation brigade, took out a transparent plastic box from his blue cloth pocket. Open the lid, he took out the third-order magic cube inside. CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA, CLA. Playing Rubik's cube is a hobby xuyuhao has cultivated since primary school. He likes the excitement of playing Rubik's cube, and prefers the infinite possibility of matching the six color blocks. When youth meets a new era, a generation of soldiers deduces a legend that is more magical than the magic cube. In 2011, the air force began to jointly train flight cadets with Tsinghua University. That summer, the air force recruitment team happened to come to xuyuhao's hometown, Jinhua, Zhejiang. In class 14, grade 3, No. 1 middle school in Wuyi County, Jinhua, only three boys, including xuyuhao, did not wear glasses. With the idea of "try it", three people signed up for recruitment. Surprisingly, 2 of them were successfully recruited. After the local college entrance examination, they joined the blue sky square array and came to the Tsinghua campus. Shortly after enrollment, the University organized leaders of the aerospace system to give lectures. Astronauts ZhaiZhiGang and jinghaipeng, female pilot chengxiaojian and super class pilot Yanfeng have all been on the podium of the flight Cadet class. In their talk, the rapid development and bright prospects of the aerospace system made xuyuhao itch to fly into the advanced fighter immediately. When xuyuhao wandered around the Tsinghua campus, the fighter planes of the people's air force were also undergoing a completely new change. When xuyuhao enrolled, the air force's J-6 aircraft was still in service. At that time, the j-20 had completed its first flight and entered the verification and finalization stage; Yun-20 is in full swing research and development, and will usher in its first flight in more than one year; A few years later, at the military parade celebrating the 90th anniversary of the founding of the PLA, the j-16 made its first public appearance Ten years later, xuyuhao participated in the 10th anniversary summary seminar of the joint training of flight cadets by the air force and Tsinghua University through the video system. When he spoke, he sighed that the J-6 aircraft had already completed its mission and retired from the stage of history. In the past 10 years, the air force's weapons and equipment have witnessed a blowout development. The j-20 platoon mounted units, the j-16 and j-10c are mass produced. The "three swordsmen" in the air in the eyes of netizens have formed a strong practical combat capability. Xuyuhao said that his generation is lucky to meet an era of unlimited opportunities and rising dreams. No matter how good the opportunity is, it also needs to be realized with both hands and struggle. One of xuyuhao's hobbies is that he likes to do things. When he was in primary school, he made a small chair out of a can. This work was selected into the whole school's creation exhibition, and the whole school's teachers and students lined up to visit it. Xuyuhao pretended to visit, but listened carefully to the visitors' comments and praises on his works. In middle school, he held the pen in both hands, brushed a large number of test papers and achieved excellent results. Before the college entrance examination, I still filled in the application for admission with both hands and sent myself to the flight Cadet class jointly trained by the air force and Tsinghua University. After flying into the advanced fighter, xuyuhao was pleasantly surprised to find that operating the plane with the joystick in hand was far more exciting and "magical" than playing the magic cube. When training complex meteorological subjects, xuyuhao often drove fighter planes to drill through the clouds. Large pieces of thick fog flew over the canopy, and lightning in the distance penetrated the ink like cumulus clouds. When the clouds broke through, the sky became clear... These magical scenes made him fall in love with flying and the sky. Xuyuhao prefers night flights. Outside the cockpit, there is a deep and boundless night sky and countless stars in the sky. He remembered the words of Nan Rendong, a senior student of Tsinghua University and the father of China's heavenly eye: the beautiful universe and space, with its mystery and splendor, call us to step through mediocrity and enter the boundless expanse With the acceleration of the times, the 28 year old air force major xuyuhao felt an unprecedented "push back feeling of the times". "There are infinite possibilities in the future." He said. Take off training of new fighters of a certain air force aviation brigade. Photographed by Yuanjun From Tsinghua classroom to fighter cockpit—— A pilot's "feeling of pushing the back of the times" ■ air force Daily reporter Dongbin, Yangbo, special reporter of the Liberation Army Daily liuhaiyang If you want to get the brilliance of life, fly from this moment A piece of cardboard the size of a computer screen was held in front of his chest by his younger brother and younger sister. "I want to be a doctor", "I want to go to Fudan University", "I want to go to science college"... Everyone describes their dreams with colorful pens. Xuyuhao, who was invited back to his alma mater and has become a fighter pilot of the air force, saw this scene. In his memory, he also went to the podium and said his dream to cheer himself up. As a child, xuyuhao often heard the roar of airplanes. Standing in the farmyard, he looked up at the sky and searched everywhere for the trace of the plane. Listen to your excellency. There is an air force airport nearby. It is a fighter training. This may not be called a dream, but just a foreshadowing for the dream. Sometimes the reality is dreamy, sometimes the dream is realistic. In high school, the son of an ordinary farmer in Wuyi County, Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, set himself a simple and realistic dream: to honor his family and become famous. When he was a junior in high school, xuyuhao found a place to achieve his dream: apply for Zhejiang University. Unexpectedly, in 2011, xuyuhao was selected as a flight Cadet jointly trained by the air force and Tsinghua University. He once dreamed of taxiing to the take-off line. After studying at Tsinghua University for three years, xuyuhao came to the air force aviation university. On april14,2015, he flew chujiao-6 aircraft alone for the first time. At that time, this dark green propeller plane activated his hidden flying dream. That night, he excitedly sent a wechat circle of friends: his childhood dream of "stepping on cotton" was finally realized! Soon, xuyuhao was no longer satisfied with driving this kind of propeller aircraft. "In the future, I will at least fly a jet plane!" He constantly revised his dreams. Opportunity is sometimes so magical. In 2015, xuyuhao came to a brigade of Shijiazhuang Flight Academy of the air force. In the first class, the instructor arranged for new pilots to visit. In the repair shop, a red and white jiao-8 aircraft was being tested. When the engine was driving and the engine roared, Xu Yu felt that the world was quiet. In his ears, there was only the roaring of the engine and the beating of his own heart. At that moment, he knew that the opportunity had come! That year, xuyuhao's Air Force flight training base welcomed a new domestic fighter. When passing the hangar, xuyuhao saw this gray painted, low-key but domineering fighter for the first time. At that time, he had no extravagant hope that he could fly this type of advanced fighter. After graduating from the flight academy and assigned to the army, the performance of xuyuhao's fighters was also good. He once thought that flying that type of fighter plane was his "ultimate dream". Soon after, another refitting force dispatched young pilots, and xuyuhao reported his name without hesitation. This refitted unit was equipped with the new fighter plane he "encountered" in those years. Maybe it was an accident. Xuyuhao believes that there is an inevitable logic of the evolution of the times. When xuyuhao was decorating the living room of his new home, he specially installed a light brown glass cabinet, in which were placed such aircraft models as chujiao-6, jiao-8 and J-7. These are the models he flew over. He said that different models carry the dreams of different periods. "What is your dream now?" In the face of a reporter's question, xuyuhao talked about a dawn flight. It was a summer, and he and his comrades were ordered to transfer. Shortly after the fighter took off, a red sun leaped out of the horizon in the distance. The golden radiance spread rapidly across the land, and the brown frozen desert became vivid in an instant. The sun shines all over the cockpit, changing different colors. At that moment, joy and steadiness filled my heart. At that moment, xuyuhao told himself that his dream should be comparable to the sky. It has been 12 years since xuyuhao joined the flight team. On the military day of that year, after flying, he sent a picture in the wechat circle of friends - a man with open arms embraced the whole sky in the early morning when clouds were flying. Later, there is a paragraph: if you don't fly, your dream will be shattered; If you don't fly, life will pass; If you want to get the brilliance of life, fly from this moment Xuyuhao, a pilot of a certain air force aviation brigade, boarded the fighter plane. Photographed by Yuanjun From "I" to "we", the world suddenly became bigger In early summer, Bauhinia blossoms beside the road. Every morning, the Xuetang road from Tsinghua Zijing apartment to the teaching building becomes a sea of bicycles. The light wheels, rolling up the subtle wind, left a string of car bells or laughter. Seeing this scene for the first time, xuyuhao, standing by the roadside, felt both familiar and strange, and somewhat uneasy before going to the examination room. Pushing open the heavy bronze gate of the library, I came to the huge reading room along a dozen marble steps. I saw hundreds of teachers and students reading in peace. In a flash, xuyuhao was afraid to step forward. "Do I really belong here?" He asked himself. Shortly after registering for duty, the school counselor took the group of freshmen known as "flight 15" to the green brick and white column building of "Tsinghua Park": "you are the first batch of freshmen to welcome Tsinghua in the new century. For you, the purple of the Tsinghua School emblem is the integration of 'air force blue' and 'China Red'." Every word, every sentence, heavy and hot. When xuyuhao was a sophomore, the play Malan blossoms was performed at the new Tsinghua School. This drama, written and directed by Tsinghua students, shows the advanced deeds of Deng Jiaxian, the founder of "two bombs and one satellite". On the stage, the scene of dozens of people using abacus to calculate data lingered in xuyuhao's mind for a long time. As a school with a profound patriotic tradition, Tsinghua University has cultivated a large number of outstanding talents for the country and the nation. The names of wangganchang, dengjiaxian, zhouguangzhao and other Tsinghua students shine like stars in the sky of national prosperity and rejuvenation. How could a person, a group of people, have such an eternal spirit and such a huge energy in that era of poverty and waste? Xuyuhao came to Deng Jiaxian's biography and documentary, carefully read and watched them, and finally found the answer: what a person has dedicated to is the cause of countless people. He will certainly get different energy, and life will have a different atmosphere. As a scholar once said, "turning history into our own, we will enter eternity from history". From "I" to "we", the world in xuyuhao's eyes suddenly became bigger. On the way to school, xuyuhao and his classmates rode their bikes very fast. At first, their blue uniforms often attracted the attention of many teachers and students. Over time, this sense of disobedience gradually subsided. In the reading room, xuyuhao was sitting on the window seat reading. When he looked up, he could see the green ivy. Like a local college student, he studied hard all day long, often until the music sounded at night. After arriving in the army, xuyuhao realized the power of "we". On the day of the successful first flight of the modified new fighter, he specially asked the Army Propaganda officer to take a picture of formation flying for him and his comrades in arms. "We will fight together!" He said excitedly. The longer the flight, the more xuyuhao felt he could not do without flying. He said that only in air combat can the significance of a fighter pilot be fully reflected. He was very glad that he had met flying. "The greatest luck in life is to find himself in his prime of life
