A unique wedding, a fresh start. On April 27, 2016, Zhang Ya stepped on the train to Shenyang and started a journey to an old friend she hadn't seen for many years. She plans to reunite with her husband Zhang Chao during the May Day holiday. Zhang Ya and Zhang Chao are both villagers, and they have faced resistance and opposition from their family backgrounds. However, they don't care about the eyes of the outside world and firmly choose each other, and their love is indestructible. After experiencing the torture of illness, Zhang Ya made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Zhang Chao. She took out the household registration book and quickly obtained the marriage certificate with Zhang Chao. Subsequently, in order to get closer to Zhang Chao, she gave up her position as a flight attendant, enlisted in the army, and came to Zhang Chao's side. When Zhang Chao became a fighter pilot on a Navy aircraft carrier, their reunion became even rarer, but Zhang Ya understood her husband's dream. She stayed at home to take care of her elderly parents, and also gave birth to a lovely daughter named Hanhan for Zhang Chao. In addition to training, Zhang Chao will talk to his family every night, share the bits and pieces of life, tease his daughter, and share his daughter's interesting stories with his comrades.
Sadness enveloped Zhang Ya, she slowly lifted the white cloth where Zhang Chao's body was stored, stared at her husband who had stopped breathing, the grief in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and tears burst out of her eyes. She whispered to Zhang Chao about the past: "I still remember when I first arrived here, you said that when you set up a plane and landed on the ship, you must give me flowers to welcome you." I always remember this phrase. After a moment of silence, Zhang Ya said again: "You owe me a promise, don't forget it!."Zhang Ya never imagined that the promise her husband had made would become her last wish. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cry again, in pain. At the same time, Zhang Chao's parents and daughter also arrived, and the two old men were overwhelmed with grief and tears. Zhang Chao's mother threw herself on her son, in pain. Zhang Ya turned his head away, held back his tears, and stopped looking at them. At this time, Zhang Chao's daughter was only two years old and knew nothing about all this, only feeling that her father was sleeping. Then, Zhang Chao's father ** his son piloted the plane before his death, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is there no other way?"
The comrades-in-arms shook their heads slightly: "He has done his best." The old man wiped away his tears and said, "Xiaochao, you have worked hard, I know." Zhang Chao's sacrifice has become a well-known fact in the family, but Zhang Chao's grandfather still knows nothing. An 84-year-old man is still looking forward to his grandson coming home to spend the May Day holiday with him. He asked his granddaughter-in-law, "Is Xiaochao really not going to come back?"Zhang Yaqiang endured his sadness and replied: "Yes, grandpa, he went to study abroad and will stay for 10 years!.""It's a white lie, and the whole family is silently guarding this sacred secret. The old man shook his head in frustration: "It seems that we may never see him again." After hearing this, Zhang Ya left in a hurry, even if she stayed for one more second, she couldn't hold back her tears. Someone once said that life is paramount, Zhang Chao could have parachuted in time, but for pilots, the plane is their life, and they are willing to gamble with their lives in exchange for the safety of the plane.
Zhang Chao is an outstanding pilot and a people's hero.
