Nie Haisheng, China's new generation of flying generals, is as vigorous as the ancient Li Guang, who once pierced Yang with an arrow;Now it is soaring into the sky, waving to the moon. When it comes to astronauts, what comes to people's minds are Yang Liwei and Nie Haisheng, and Nie Haisheng's life story is an inspirational counterattack history. In 1964, the Nie family in Fanzhuang Village, Zaoyang, Hubei Province ushered in Nie Haisheng. Nie Haisheng is the eldest of six children, who knows how to be considerate of his parents, always helps with farm work after school, and even gives them food for his younger siblings after they are born.
Despite living in poverty, the young Nie Haisheng's self-motivation has not diminished in the slightest, and he knows that studying is the only way to get rid of the poverty in his hometown, so he studies harder. The school rules that the student who turns in the paper early and has the highest accuracy rate can get an extra 5 points, and he can get 105 points almost every time. At the age of 14, he saw an airplane for the first time, and from that moment on, it became his goal to become a pilot. However, despite his high ambitions, the poor environment made him go through many hardships, especially after the death of his father, he once gave up his studies to work to support the family, but was finally dissuaded by his mother.
Since then, he has devoted all his energy to his studies and worked hard to achieve his goals in life. In 1983, Nie Haisheng got his wish and was admitted to the Air Force Flight Academy. With the dream of flying, I came to Changchun Flight Academy to report and started the military school life with freshmen from all over the country. This group of young people is full of hope and hope for the future, but soon, they are facing the hardships of life. The daily training in the flight academy is not only very rigorous, but also very intense, and it is very common for the hands and feet to get calloused and peel off, and sometimes they can't even pick up chopsticks after training. But none of the hot-blooded men who rushed to the blue sky had any intention of retreating.
However, their will is as strong as steel and tenacious. Nie Haisheng is one of the best, not only with excellent grades in theoretical classes, but also among the best in practical classes. With the vigorous development of China's aerospace industry, the country decided to select astronauts, and Nie Haisheng signed up without hesitation. His heart has long burned with a burning passion for the aerospace industry, and he will never want to miss the only opportunity in this life. Although he was not selected in 1996, but the first astronaut was Yang Liwei, Nie Haisheng was not discouraged, but was proud of his courage. Unwavering faith ultimately earned him an opportunity.
In October 2005, he and Fei Junlong received orders to carry out the manned mission of Shenzhou 6. At the moment when Shenzhou 6 flew into space, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and at the age of 41, he realized the pursuit of nearly half of his life. Nie Haisheng, who won the titles of "Space Hero" and "Touching Chinese Characters", was radiant and famous after the spacecraft landed. In 2011, he was awarded the rank of Major General of Professional Skills. However, despite the accolades, Nie Haisheng has always maintained a humble attitude, and he firmly stated: "At all times, my first identity is always that of an astronaut.
Today, General Nie Haisheng is no longer young and has left his front-line job due to physical reasons. However, as a high-end talent, he was well arranged. After stepping down as the captain of the astronaut brigade, General Nie has now served as the minister of China's aerospace technology department, focusing on the technical problems of spacecraft. I believe that under his leadership, China's aerospace technology will usher in greater development
