The letter alarmed **, urgently contact the military district.
In 1994, a letter from former Kuomintang colonel Zhao Zhixiong suddenly arrived on CCTV. In the letter, Zhao said that he had met the first female pilots of New China and hoped to reunite with them.
CCTV was very surprised when it received the letter, and did not understand how the Kuomintang colonel could have been in contact with the pilots of our army. So, they immediately contacted the military region and conducted an investigation on Zhao Zhixiong.
The results of the investigation were shocking, and Zhao Zhixiong is known as the originator of Chinese pilots. So, what kind of story is there between Zhao Zhixiong and those female pilots? After the liberation of Chengdu in 1949, our army sent Zhao Zhixiong to serve in the 7th Aviation School in Northeast China.
Zhao Zhixiong was entrusted with the important task of serving as an instructor at the school. However, when he first arrived at the school, Zhao felt uneasy because of his Kuomintang identity, and feared that everyone would be suspicious.
However, Liu Yalou, the commander of the Air Force at that time, was very polite and respected the talents from the Kuomintang, which made him dispel his concerns. However, Zhao then faced a new problem.
The school environment was very poor, and when he first entered the campus, he was almost taken aback by what he saw.
Zhao Zhixiong inherited an old Japanese airport, which has long been deserted. He realized that the work would be extremely difficult, but he did not back down. On the contrary, he actively improved the school, and when he found that the dormitories were insufficient, he set up tents on the campus to create a good learning environment for the students.
These tents helped the later trainees survive the cold winter in the Northeast. Soon, the first students were enrolled. Zhao Zhixiong unreservedly imparted his professional knowledge, and these students made rapid progress.
Some of them participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, fought fierce battles in the air with the US military, and made significant contributions to the country. With the development of the school, Zhao Zhixiong's ability has also improved.
However, new challenges have also arisen.
The airport realized the importance of pilots, so our army decided to train some female pilots. In this way, we can not only increase our country's talent pool, but also promote the emancipation of women, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
After receiving the appointment, Zhao Zhixiong was full of doubts. In his impression, the girls are all delicate little girls, can they afford this hard work? Despite his skepticism, Zhao is unequivocal when it comes to teaching.
Soon, 14 female cadets were sent to the school. This marks the birth of the first batch of female pilots in New China, which is of great significance. In order to teach the 14 female pilots well, Zhao Zhixiong divided them into three groups and asked two other colleagues to assist to ensure that they were all trained to become talents.
In the process of teaching, these female students broke the inherent impression in Zhao Zhixiong's heart. First of all, their cultural quality is very high, and their professional knowledge can be understood only by Zhao Zhixiong once.
Secondly, despite being physically inferior to male cadets, they have superhuman perseverance.
Zhao Zhixiong faced many difficulties on the road of cultivating female pilots, especially the female cadets were less courageous. But he didn't give up, but his confidence was stronger. Once, he was in the co-pilot to observe the operation of the female driver, and as a result, his actions saved the life of the female trainee.
At that time, the female pilot drove very smoothly, and Zhao Zhixiong nodded frequently. But at the last moment of landing, the wheels of the plane suddenly jumped, startling the female trainee, and she subconsciously let go of the operating lever to put the plane in an unmanned state.
This kind of operation is fatal to the pilot, because it is the emergency moment of landing, and this operation is very easy to make the plane hit the ground heavily and cause the aircraft to catch fire.
Zhao Zhixiong immediately took over the operating stick, and with his years of experience, he finally landed the plane smoothly and successfully avoided a disaster.
Although the delivery of the letter was thrilling, the two of them were pale when they got off the plane, and the female student broke out in a cold sweat. This accident caused the confidence of the female trainees to be severely damaged, and even said that they could not complete the task.
However, Zhao Zhixiong kept calm, asked the female student what she thought at the time, and began to encourage her, and assured that he had the confidence to teach her well. Afterwards, Zhao realized that he had neglected the psychological needs of female students in teaching.
As a result, he often had in-depth conversations with female students to help them overcome their fears. Under his careful tutelage, female cadets quickly grew into excellent pilots, with a technical level not inferior to that of men.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhixiong felt very relieved. He was awarded a first-class meritorious service. After that, these female pilots were sent on missions and made a significant contribution to the development of the country.
However, due to their busy work, they rarely met with Zhao Zhixiong.
Zhao Zhixiong was the mentor of the first batch of female students, and this experience is still fresh in his memory. Years later, even though he didn't know their whereabouts, he never forgot them. Until September 14, 1994, he realized this wish through a CCTV "Shenzhou Style" program.
On the show, he saw 14 heroic female pilots, and although their faces had changed, he recognized his students at a glance. He was so excited that he immediately wrote to CCTV hoping to meet them.
Eventually, his request attracted the attention of CCTV, and they found one of the students, Zhou Yingzhi. Although she was over 60 years old, after hearing Zhao Zhixiong's name, she burst into tears and excitedly said that he was her instructor.
Zhao Zhixiong took a photo with the pilot to reveal the truth, and these heroic heroes reunited again after 43 years. On the day of the meeting, Zhao Zengxiong was full of joy and showed all the clothes he treasured.
He arrived in Beijing a few days in advance, full of anticipation. After the meeting, the students were so excited that they burst into tears and affectionately called Zhao Zhixiong as an instructor. Since then, the contact between the two sides has never been interrupted, and every festival, Zhao Zhixiong will receive the blessings of the students, which makes him extremely gratified.
Zhao Zhixiong's contribution to New China is immeasurable.
Zhao Zhixiong, a Chinese pilot full of patriotic enthusiasm, made great contributions to the country in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Not only did he master the art of flying, but he was also appointed as a pilot, training hundreds of excellent pilots.
However, with the surrender of Japan, Chiang Kai-shek could not wait to start a civil war, and Zhao Zhixiong was very disappointed and confused about this. Faced with the order of his superiors, Zhao Zhixiong chose to refuse, and his behavior caused dissatisfaction among the Kuomintang.
He was demoted to the rank of colonel and was only responsible for logistics. Desperate, Zhao Zhixiong found his brother-in-law, Wu Jingfang, who was a communist. Wu Jingfang was deeply moved by Zhao Zhixiong's patriotic feelings and decided to win over him.
In the face of the olive branch of our army, Zhao Zhixiong accepted it without hesitation. He secretly helped our army in ** and provided valuable intelligence and resources for our army. However, as the war progressed, ** was defeated and retreated, and Zhao Zhixiong felt very sad.
Chiang Kai-shek ordered all the family members of the personnel above the department level to evacuate, which made Zhao Zhixiong feel very helpless and desperate. The core idea of the new copy: Zhao Zhixiong is a Chinese pilot full of patriotic feelings who made great contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
However, with the outbreak of the civil war, his fate changed, and he was greatly disappointed and confused. In the face of difficulties, he chose to stick to his beliefs and provided our army with valuable intelligence and resources.
Despite the very difficult course of the war, he always held his faith until the end.
In order to solve Chiang Kai-shek's misgivings, Zhao had to pretend to let his wife and children obey the instructions, intending to let them find an opportunity to leave the team and reunite with their families during the flight.
However, on the day of departure, the Kuomintang suddenly changed the flight route, causing his wife and children to leave the mainland from then on. Despite this, Zhao Zhixiong did not have time to grieve, because a more important task still awaited him, that is, to save supplies for our army.
At this time, his position as colonel played an important role. He took advantage of his position to keep the air force's supplies intact and waited for the day when our army entered Chongqing.
Finally, on November 30, Chongqing was liberated, and our army successfully obtained these supplies. Soon after, Zhao Zhixiong began an uprising and became a member of our army. Zhao has devoted his life to making China stronger, and his goal has never changed, both during the Kuomintang and our party.
His contribution to our country is enormous, and he has proved with his actions what true patriotism is.
It is precisely because of this firm belief that Zhao Zhixiong can choose the right path of life in every important decision, which has won the recognition of our party and ushered in a turning point in his life.
He has made tremendous contributions to our party and has devoted himself to cultivating a large number of outstanding talents. Such a hero, we should always remember his deeds.
