The training process of female pilots in New China In the world, people's impression of pilots is mostly male, and there are relatively few female pilots. This is because pilots require extraordinary intelligence and excellent physical strength, and their lives are constantly at risk. However, in New China, there are female pilots. It has been said that women can also take on heavy responsibilities. When the new Chinese Air Force had just been formed, Deng Yingchao, deputy director of the All-China Women's Federation, asked Liu Yalou, commander of the Air Force, whether it was possible to train a group of female pilots. Liu Yalou is a general who is good at creating miracles, and they represent the spirit of that era: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb." After receiving Sister Deng's proposal, Liu Yalou agreed without hesitation. He launched an action in full swing and reported to ** the plan to train female pilots, ** immediately instructed: agreed. Then, he took the first batch of female pilots to Zhongnanhai to be received by ***. Looking at these heroic girls, ** was very happy to ask them about their training in detail. Then, he asked Liu Yalou if they already had the qualities of pilots. Liu Yalou confidently replied that they already had it.
** Nod frequently to indicate deep thought. He told Liu Yalou that he would train them to become real people's pilots, not performers. This means focusing on actual flying ability rather than showmanship. Liu Yalou immediately told the female pilots that the instructions of ** would become their code of conduct. However, to become a female pilot, they first have to overcome female physical barriers and then go through hard training. Despite these challenges, Liu Yalou has established strict regulations to ensure that female pilots can meet the requirements. In 1956, a second group of 140 female pilots was selected. This large-scale training of female pilots is rare in the history of air forces around the world. After a rigorous pre-school life, 24 people were eliminated, and finally 116 people were qualified to enter the aviation school. Liu Yalou, commander of the Chinese Air Force, met with the first batch of female pilots in New China and told them that they have become mature pilots who have contributed to New China's aerospace industry, set an example for Chinese women, and live up to the expectations of the first and the best. Liu Yalou emphatically pointed out that they should be like the first batch of female pilots, undergo strict training and strive to become talented people at an early date.
As a representative of the Party Committee of the Air Force, Liu Yalou put forward a request: in the next 5 years, it is not allowed to fall in love, let alone get married (Liu Yalou accompanied *** to meet with female pilots). This provision has sparked extensive discussion. Most of these girls are in their 20s, in the prime of life, and have reached the age of love and marriage. However, Liu Yalou stipulated that they should not fall in love in the next 5 years, let alone get married. At that time, there was a jargon in the Air Force that every pilot was piled up with gold by the state. Developing a pilot is very tough and requires a lot of money. Therefore, in the early days of the country's economic difficulties, although the people of the whole country are tightening their belts, it is necessary to train pilots in order to defend the blue sky of the Motherland. All successful pilots are not individuals, but national. The state has nurtured them, so they should devote themselves to contributing to the country and serving the people. If these female pilots are in love and married, they may not be able to continue their flight missions. They must sacrifice their personal love and marriage for the sake of their careers, and they must make personal sacrifices for the sake of their country. Therefore, Liu Yalou seems strict, but it is also necessary.
Let's pay tribute to General Liu Yalou and the first batch of female pilots in New China!
