** In his New Year's message in 223, the President pointed out: "The long river of history is magnificent, and generation after generation has continued to struggle to create today's China. "Although the road is far, the journey is coming;It's hard, but it's done. As long as you have the ambition to move mountains, the perseverance to penetrate the stones, be down-to-earth, work hard, and accumulate steps or even thousands of miles, you will be able to turn the grand goal into a beautiful reality. ”
In the first year, the first comrade as the core united and led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to face difficulties and move forward bravely. Over the past year, China has made important progress in the construction of a modern industrial system, achieved new breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation, promoted reform and opening up in depth, consolidated the foundation for safe development, effectively guaranteed people's livelihood, and made solid steps to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way.
Struggle creates miracles Strength comes from unityThis edition features a special plan to get close to some of the groups mentioned in the congratulatory message, listen to their unforgettable stories of unity and struggle throughout the year, and feel the resilience and myriad of weather in a dynamic China.
Editor: Heaven and earth explore the sky together.
In his New Year's message in 223, Chairman ** solemnly announced that "China's space station has been fully completed". So far, after 30 years of dreaming of the world, the Chinese's own "space home" has finally traveled the sky.
Looking back at that time, Wu Jun, the chief designer of the Mengtian experimental module of the space station of the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, was still excited.
Over the past year, Wu Jun and his research and development team have always kept in mind the entrustment and taken the management, use, and development of the space station as their main work.
365 days a 24 hours waiting, busy field flight control tasks, intensive work, there are many unforgettable moments.
Since the completion of the transposition task and the formation of the combination on November 3, 2022, the functional tests of the Mengtian cabin have lasted for more than two months. "After launching, docking, and transposing, is the Mengtian module functioning normally?Testing touches the hearts of every team member. Wu Jun said that it was not until the Mengtian module completed all the in-orbit test items and proved that it was functioning normally, that at that moment, the hanging heart finally fell.
Performing a cargo mission for the first time was also a challenge. There are many new technologies involved in the cargo entry and exit compartment, and the space-ground coordination process is complex. "Whether it can be successfully completed or not, everyone is not completely sure. Wu Jun recalled that the payload equipment was coordinated with the ground and the astronauts to complete the task of leaving the cabin in accordance with the process, and the commander reported that "the cargo out of the cabin ended normally", and the flight control hall resounded with warm applause, "an unparalleled sense of accomplishment arose." ”
Gradually establish an on-orbit operation system and mechanism, and improve the software and hardware construction and personnel training of the ground support centerComplete multiple flight control tasks such as rendezvous and docking, astronaut out-of-cabin activities, and cargo out-of-cabinCarry out the design of future-oriented in-orbit upgrades and functional optimization schemes, and lay the foundation for the sustainable development of the space station......Looking up at the starry sky and down-to-earth, Wu Jun and his colleagues wrote the aerospace dream with struggle between heaven and earth.
The basic version of the space station has been completed, and our work has begun a new journey. In the future, the operation and development of the space station is promising. Wu Jun introduced that in 2024, on the basis of ensuring the safe and stable operation of the space station and the successful completion of all flight control tasks, we will focus on improving operational capabilities and incubating new projects, so as to continue to strive for the long-term development of the space station.
The domestic large aircraft was officially commercialized.
**In his New Year's message in 223, the chairman mentioned that "the first C919 large aircraft was officially delivered" and praised "China Power". This greatly encouraged Shang Feng, general manager and captain of the C919 flight department of China Eastern Airlines.
The first C919 large aircraft was delivered, and Shangfeng participated in the "debut" flightSince the C919 was put into commercial operation on May 28 this year, he has flown a large plane between Shanghai and Chengdu, Sichuan Province for nearly 70 round-trips and 400 hours. In the past year, he has witnessed the delivery and maiden flight of the C919 from the first to the third, the largest order for 100 aircraft, and the expansion of the C919 flight team from 5 to more than 50 ......
More than 50 pilots are the best of the best, with excellent technology and rich experience. Transferring aircraft to join the C919 flight department should give up the opportunity to fly other aircraft. "Flying the Chinese's own big plane is the dream of many pilots. Shang Feng said that the C919 aircraft has an advanced aerodynamic layout and fly-by-wire control system, and pilots can quickly adapt to its handling characteristicsHigh degree of automation, advanced display system, 5 large screen displays intuitively display various key system parameters, easy to operate.
Over the past year, Shang Feng has also been responsible for leading the team and cultivating new talents. "The pilots who joined the C919 fleet were full of pride, enthusiastic about training and learning, and worked hard to lay a good theoretical foundation and practice their flying skills. Shang Feng said.
While the aircrew team continues to grow, all aspects and processes of aircraft operation are also constantly optimized and improved.
Through commercial operations, China Eastern has collected extensive opinions and suggestions, and has in-depth cooperation with the Civil Aviation Administration of China and COMAC to further optimize cabin equipment and flight procedures, so as to improve aircraft performance, broaden the scope of operation, and prepare for a broader market.
At present, China Eastern Airlines has fully launched the large-scale commercial operation of the domestic large aircraft C919 with a large fleet, and the existing three C919 aircraft have been put into commercial flight operation. As of December 13, 2023, the C919 aircraft has carried out a total of 600 commercial flights, serving a total of 6 passengersMore than 90,000 person-times, with a total of 1,562 hours of commercial operation.
Good morning to MU9197 unit!The first C919 is of great significance, and for every Chinese, I am extremely proud, and I wish you a safe start and landing on every part of your journey!Shang Feng had just stepped out of the cockpit when the flight attendant handed over a letter from a passenger. Since the commercial operation of C919, there have been thousands of such messages.
The green energy of the big country is surging.
Today's China is a China where dreams are realized one after another. In the 223 New Year's message, the chairman mentioned that "the Baihetan Hydropower Station is fully operational". This made He Wei, the head of the construction department of Baihetan Hydropower Station, excited, and the completion of Baihetan Hydropower Station condensed the hard work and sweat of him and his colleagues.
In 2023, the main body of the Baihetan Hydropower Station hub project will be completed, but He Wei and his colleagues are still busy, not only to finish the project, but also to meet some special acceptances.
In the past year, the dam project has completed the removal of the dam surface insulation material and the construction of concrete protective agentThe flood tunnel project was successfully handed over to the power plant;The M&E works were completed and the utility system was completed and handed over to the power plant ......In the special safety appraisal of the completion of the project, the expert group gave the highest evaluation: "The project is of excellent quality and has the conditions for safe operation." ”
On June 28, 2021, the first batch of units of Baihetan Hydropower Station was put into operation for power generation. As of mid-December 2023, the cumulative power generation capacity of Baihetan Hydropower Station has exceeded 110 billion kWhIn 2023, Baihetan's power generation capacity is expected to be close to 60 billion kilowatt hours, and half of the green and low-carbon energy will be exported to Zhejiang through the Baihetan-Zhejiang UHV project, which will be put into operation at full capacity in June. "Don't look far away from Hangzhou, our Baihetan has also contributed to the Asian Games!He Wei said.
Under the warm winter sun, running in Baihetan for a day, He Wei often sweats. Sweat does not flow in vain: In 2023, the drilling and coring of the Baihetan Hydropower Station dam will achieve a complete, smooth and dense texture of 36The 74-meter core sample once again refreshed its own record for the world's longest normal concrete core sample.
He Wei explained that behind the "seamless dam" is a layered pouring process of pouring a layer of concrete every 50 centimeters, and each layer of concrete is dense and untraceable, with a uniform texture. According to the design standards, the concrete compressive strength of the Baihetan Hydropower Station dam is 300 megapascals, while the compressive strength of the core sample exceeds 450 megapascals. "We now have the technical strength to make a great power heavy weapon that is both easy to use and good-looking!When He Wei said this, he was full of confidence.
The construction team is gradually withdrawing from Baihetan. Looking at the mountains, with the retreat of construction sites and living areas, the original ecological vegetation in the dry and hot valley area is being restored under manual interventionLooking at the river, the fish crossing facilities are operating as usual, and there have been 1More than 30,000 key protected fish climbed the dam and swam the Jinsha River with the help of fish crossing facilities.
Bravely undertake the mission and be determined to strengthen the army.
** In his New Year's message in 223, the chairman sent an affectionate message: "The vast number of officers and soldiers will forge ahead with high spirits on the journey of strengthening the army." Over the past year, the officers and men of the Second Flying Brigade of a certain regiment of the Air Force have kept in mind the entrustment, thoroughly implemented the idea of strengthening the army, comprehensively strengthened training and preparation for war, carried forward the spirit of struggle, dared to show their swords in the sky, and successfully completed many major tasks.
After a winter snowfall, the temperature plummeted, and on the training ground, the officers and men of the Second Flying Brigade were still in good spirits and were seriously preparing for the upcoming defense penetration and assault training under complex meteorological conditions. Instructor Jia Haitao led the crew to climb onto the fighter plane first. Immediately, one bomber after another slid out of the echelon, taking off, taking off, and setting sail ......There was a roar, resounding in the sky.
It is the duty of a soldier to practice actual combat training, temper his bloody courage and temper his skills in the wind, snow and cold!Talking about the mental state of the officers and soldiers of the brigade, Gao Ziyang, the leader of the brigade, said.
The Second Flying Brigade is the first bombing aviation brigade formed by the People's Air Force, the first to participate in the war, and the first to make combat exploits. In recent years, they have bravely undertaken their missions and been determined to strengthen the army, and have flown out of the ever-extending track of the times on the magnificent journey of the strategic transformation of the People's Air Force. In June this year, the brigade was awarded the title of "Model of the Times" by the Central Propaganda Department.
Instructor Zhou Xiaoyu said that on the day they won the "Model of the Times" medal from Beijing, they did not organize any ceremony, but carried out a reflection meeting, found out 9 problems in 3 aspects against the actual combat standards, and formulated improvement measures one by one.
As he spoke, the first group of warhawks returned. As soon as pilot Mutefa Avery got off the plane, he went straight to the flight evaluation room to review with his comrades. This year, he and four other comrades-in-arms not only undertook the research of a new combat method, but also participated in various exercises and drills 10 times.
On that day, officers and soldiers who did not have training tasks got together to conduct technical research. In 2024, the regiment will have heavy tasks and involve many new topics and tasks. In order to get into the state earlier, they seized the time to plan the task and make relevant preparations in groups. ** Controller Yang Jun said: "When there is no flight mission, we 'fly' in the study room, study the opponent, study the mission, study the equipment, and engage in combat effectiveness building in our minds, which is not easier than flying." ”
As night fell, a huge roar resumed, and another group of fighters swept the ground into the air. We should pay close attention to training, prepare for war, and wait for the Second Flying Brigade
Life is as green as new.
In Jinyun Mountain, Chongqing in winter, the newly planted saplings are dotted with greenery after the wildfire. In the summer of 2022, there were wildfires raging and heroes fighting fiercely.
As Chairman *** said in his New Year's message in 223, "the scenes of sacrificing one's life for righteousness and helping each other are deeply moving, and the heroic deeds will always be remembered in our hearts."
When the mountain city was orange, the reporter met Zhang Jun, a motorcycle rider who was fighting the mountain fire. "Freshly picked mandarin oranges, taste them, keep them sweet!"The golden fruit in Xishanping Village, Dongyang Street, Beibei District, is fragrant, and Zhang Jun's family has 800 catties of harvest on 6 acres of land. "Writing copywriting, shooting**, finding channels, volunteering to help the folks live broadcast**, very busy!Who called him an internet celebrity with more than 200,000 followers?
The attention stems from the "first ride" when fighting wildfires - from Xishanping Village, Jinyun Mountain is located on the other side of the Jialing River. In the midst of the menacing wildfires, Zhang Jun rushed to the scene to volunteer as soon as possible, carrying baskets on his shoulders and rubber shoes, riding motorcycles to transport materials hundreds of times in the steep mountains, and also mobilized many motorcyclists to come to support through the Internet.
This spring, Zhang Jun returned to Jinyun Mountain. Motorcycle riders, emergency responders, and young volunteers carrying shovels and saplings are once again climbing the same mountains that they fought day and night for. "This time I'm here to plant trees", Zhang Jun noted down the location: "In the future, when the baby grows up, take him to see the tree planted by the old man." ”
In order to make it easier for his son to go to school, Zhang Jun bought a house in the city and worked as a delivery rider on weekdays. Every weekend, he would ride his motorcycle back to the village, do farm work, and enjoy it, "All year round, we grow mandarin oranges, pears, grapes, and watermelons, and we are very comfortable!"”
During the conversation, the reporter could feel his distinctive Bayu character, which is a kind of vitality to live a life as full of new greenery in the mountains.
The forestry department approached and asked the volunteer representative to go back to Jinyun Mountain to do forest fire prevention publicity, and he happily went. The village found him and wanted to use the "celebrity effect" to promote agricultural products. He didn't have a word, he was busy with appearances, shooting, and editing.
In 2023, Zhang Jun will win the titles of "Good Man of Chongqing" and "Good Man of China", and the melons and fruits in the village will be sold for almost 4 million yuan. Speaking of this, he became humble again: "This is my home, I don't help anyone!."”
