How could a 5-year-old boy have such strong patriotic feelings?
A young boy named Chen Yuwen was born in Qinzhou, Guangxi Province on a spring day in 1988.
Unlike other lively and active children, he has a natural patriotic feeling hidden in his heart.
At the age of 5, Sino-US relations experienced an unavoidable turmoil, and this moment achieved his feat of donating 140 yuan to the country, and also witnessed the extraordinary life of this child.
After 24 years, we can't help but go **, what kind of person has become of the teenager who once had the dream of an aircraft carrier?
Heroes are born in their homeland.
In March 1988, when he returned to the earth in the spring, five-year-old Chen Yuwen was born in Qinzhou, Guangxi, the hometown of heroes.
Situated on the edge of the South China Sea, this ancient city has been the subject of fierce disputes between China and the South China Sea.
Some malicious neighboring countries often send personnel to intrude into China's territorial waters and provoke China. Soldiers of the army, navy and air force heroically defended the country and fought many fierce naval battles against foreign enemies.
Chen Yuwen's father is a veteran soldier, and he and his son are far apart in height, but they always stand together tacitly.
The father often told his son about his heroic deeds in defending the country, while the five-year-old listened with relish.
Dad, I also want to defend our homeland, to defend our homeland!
Chen Yuwen's small hands and feet exude childlike enthusiasm.
The father smiled and nodded, stroking his son's little head.
He is well aware of the innocent thoughts of children, but he is also eager to cultivate a love for the motherland in Chen Yuwen's heart.
The country hopes that every child who loves the motherland can grow up and join the ranks of defending the country.
When you reach your teens, you can also consider joining the military and guarding our oceans like a dad.
Chen Yuwen nodded firmly and said heavily: "I am determined to do it!" I will also build more ships and planes for the army, so that we can rule the seas and resolutely defeat the enemy! ”
This unflinching enthusiasm is the pillar of the Chinese nation.
When the father retires, he has more time to spend with his children.
He always holds a military magazine in his hand and explains the ** in it to Xiao Chen Yuwen.
The child stared intently at the magazine illustration and spotted a car called a tank, which was very fast and equipped with a very powerful cannon.
In black and white **, the tank corps of the PLA can be seen conducting exercises.
Every evening, father and son like to spend their leisure time in this way, discussing topics such as airplanes, warships, and aircraft carriers.
Under this tranquil sky, we are glad that the current climate is peaceful, and at the same time, Chen Yuwen's small heart has gradually accepted the seeds of patriotism.
He longs to one day be able to drive a huge ** as heroically as his father did, guarding his homeland.
At the age of 5, he became the youngest aircraft carrier enthusiast.
Father Chen was flipping through "The People's Navy", page after page, and suddenly the ** of an aircraft carrier appeared in front of Xiao Chen Yuwen's eyes.
What is the origin of this huge ship? Why is it anchored in the sea? The curious Chen Yuwen asked.
This is the so-called aircraft carrier.
Chen's father put down the magazine and explained to his son intently: aircraft carriers can patrol the sea and take off and land fighter planes.
As long as we have it, we will be better able to defend our territory and no longer be afraid of bullying from other countries.
Xiao Chen Yuwen suddenly realized: "So that's the case!" I also want to build a couple of aircraft carriers for the country, so that the country can be stronger! ”
Chen's father couldn't help but laugh, he was sincerely pleased with his son's innocent ideals.
He decided to read more books about aircraft carriers with his son to satisfy his burning curiosity.
Xiao Chen Yuwen studied the aircraft carrier for half a day, and had already imagined the plan for the future Chinese Navy in his mind: "This aircraft carrier is called Dongfeng, and that one is called Nanhai." They will unite into a mighty fleet that will guard our coastline forever! ”
Since then, Chen Yuwen has become the youngest "aircraft carrier fan" in his class.
He always vividly told his friends about aircraft carrier knowledge, lying on the table and talking non-stop. The students were gradually infected by him and became interested in this topic.
The teacher happily told everyone on the blackboard about the news of the new aircraft carrier being built by the country, and it was obvious that Chen Yuwen was the initiator and leader of this small "aircraft carrier club", and the teacher had discovered this phenomenon.
When Chen Yuwen was 5 years old, the turmoil in Sino-US relations was inevitable.
On 8 May, our embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was bombed by NATO forces, resulting in the tragic deaths of many Chinese diplomats.
When the children saw the news, they hugged the aircraft carrier model, and tears welled up.
He remembered what his father had said, that only by building a strong national defense can the people enjoy a peaceful life.
His eyes were firm and his little fists were clenched: "I am determined to donate money to the country to build more aircraft carriers!" ”
This unwavering enthusiasm is the pillar of the Chinese nation.
A heart, worth 140 yuan, is for a 5-year-old child.
Chen Yuwen really walked his word with his deeds, he asked his parents for some pocket money, and saved a sum of money through frugal life.
In 1999, when he was 5 years old, he saved a total of 140 yuan. Then, he went to the post office with his father, and very seriously sent stacks of renminbi to the ** Reserve Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and attached a small note with crooked handwriting, expressing his desire to support the country's construction of aircraft carriers.
After learning the news, classmates and teachers gave a thumbs up to the 5-year-old boy Chen Yuwen and praised him for having such a high level of patriotism and initiative.
Chen Yuwen humbly said that the money is insignificant, and he still has to work hard to earn more wealth and contribute more to the country.
Parents are also deeply proud, and at the same time, they have reawakened the long-forgotten childlike innocence in their hearts.
Around the Spring Festival in 2000, the ** Ministry sent a red greeting card and a reply, and the Chen family received it.
Considering that Chen Yuwen was still young and needed funds to maintain his study life, the staff followed the regulations and decided to return the 140 yuan to him.
The little boy was a little confused, and it didn't dawn on him until his parents explained.
Chen Yuwen secretly made up his mind that he decided that he must wait until he grew up to contribute to the country.
His interest in learning military knowledge was even more aroused by this intention.
Chen Yuwen began to accumulate all kinds of ** books, and even consulted children's encyclopedias to gain knowledge about ships.
He couldn't wait to learn more about these behemoths and the technology behind them.
His love for toy robots is no longer outweighed by his growing curiosity.
finally got his wish and integrated into the era of China's aircraft carriers.
In an instant, time flies, and the young Chen Yuwen has grown up**.
He continued to make progress in his studies and finally succeeded in being admitted to Zhejiang University to major in law, fulfilling his wish.
During his years of study, he always maintained his interest in aircraft carriers and the naval career and never gave up.
The first aircraft carrier of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy, the Liaoning, was officially commissioned in 2012.
This aircraft carrier was modified by our country from the Varyag aircraft carrier introduced by Ukraine, and it was finally delivered after years of planning, achieving a major breakthrough from zero to one.
When Chen Yuwen saw this huge object defending national sovereignty, his heart was extremely excited, as if he had returned to his childhood years of paying attention to aircraft carriers.
He shared an article on social **, telling a small story about how he donated 140 yuan that year, expressing his joy at the realization of the dream of an aircraft carrier.
In the next few years, through the unremitting efforts of scientific researchers, China successfully filled the shortcomings in core technology and independently designed and built the domestic aircraft carrier Shandong.
Chen Yuwen deliberately asked for leave, and on the day he took up his post in Beijing, that is, on April 23, 2019, he turned on the TV to broadcast the launching ceremony of the Shandong ship live.
The greatness of the country lies in the patriotic feelings of countless people, even the children who donated 140 yuan back then, after the baptism of the years, will eventually grow into towering trees.
All in all, this is the case.
Chen Yuwen has now entered a double-digit life, but the innocence and innocence in his heart have always been the same.
He believed that as long as he adheres to the concept of loving the country and the people, no matter what post he stands in, he will certainly be able to make contributions to the country and the nation.
He will always cherish the passion of his childhood, connect with the heart of the country, and walk with the country.
