Zhai Zhigang's wife is beautiful, friends praise him, and he often shows off
Since ancient times, the Chinese have cherished the grand wish of flying to the moon and exploring the moon. From the heroic attempts of thousands of households in the Ming Dynasty to the succession of rocket spacecraft, for thousands of years, the Chinese people have made countless efforts on the road to the sky.
Behind every astronaut is the expectation and pride of the country. However, there is one group that is often overlooked: the families of astronauts. While the astronauts soar into the blue sky, it is they who hold up another piece ......of blue sky behind the astronauts
Every astronaut has his own story, and while they have a successful career, they also have an enviable family, and among them, the story of Zhai Zhigang and his wife Zhang Shujing is envied by many people.
Their story also has an ordinary and romantic beginning. Many years ago, Zhai Zhigang was also the instructor of a regiment pilot in the trial training center of a certain department of the Air Force, and at that time he was full of spirit, in addition to his professional skills were very good, he also had some opinions on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and was a person who studied both inside and outside.
On marriage issues, Zhai Zhigang always worries his family, he seems to have no plans to start a family, and lives a lonely life alone. Although the military wives at the base tried their best to introduce him to someone, he was always unenthusiastic.
At this time, Zhang Shujing was thousands of miles away in Harbin, born in a family of pilots, and because of her iconic appearance, she was praised as a beauty by the people in the barracks. However, she also doesn't have much interest in falling in love and getting married.
Relatives, friends and colleagues introduced her to her many times, but she was unwilling to even give her the opportunity to meet, and when asked about her mate selection conditions, she just smiled and shook her head, without a clear answer.
Under the arrangement of fate, one day, someone happened to meet Zhai Zhigang who was returning to the base, and the beautiful Zhang Shujing was sitting next to him, and they were sitting on the grass as fellow villagers, talking with smiles on their faces.
Zhai Zhigang looked up at the clear and clear sky, Zhang Shujing lowered her head and stroked the grass by the river, this scene was seen by the matchmaker, she exclaimed: Why did you forget me!She immediately stepped forward and wanted to connect the two, but Zhai Zhigang's answer surprised her, and he said, "We are already together." ”
Both of them are from Heilongjiang and comrades-in-arms of the Air Force Recruit Company, but they work in different positions. Although they are thousands of miles apart, they have always kept in touch.
Their relationship caused a stir among relatives and friends, because it was like a thousand-year-old iron tree blooming. In the eyes of their relatives and friends, their conditions are very compatible, so they are full of anticipation for their marriage.
Finally, in 1993, they entered the palace of marriage and established an ordinary and happy family.
After marriage, Zhang Shujing was transferred to the trial center with her husband and came to the remote mountainous area from the bustling city. It's sparsely populated and unpredictable, and it's often hard to find fresh fruit.
If it weren't for the fact that she could see the whizzing warplanes every day, Zhang Shujing even felt that she had traveled to a primitive society. The daughter who was held in the palm of her hand at home, she was very uncomfortable with this kind of life when she first arrived.
She felt unbalanced, and once she felt that the food was unpalatable, so she threw down her chopsticks and stopped eating. Seeing this, Zhai Zhigang, who was on the side, remembered the experience of "being full of food and not wanting to go home" taught by the veteran, so he searched around and found a jar of pickled sauerkraut.
When there was no flight mission, he changed his tricks to cook hometown-style dishes for his wife, such as sauerkraut vermicelli, sauerkraut white meat, etc. Although there are some small tempers, most of the time, Zhang Shujing is a haven for Zhai Zhigang's soul.
On May 5, 1995, Zhai Zhigang flew a training plane at an altitude of 1,000 meters, when suddenly dark clouds and heavy rain poured down, but his experienced experience and superb technology enabled him to save the day and successfully land.
When this news reached Zhang Shujing's ears, she was shocked and full of worry. At this moment, she realized that Zhai Zhigang's status in her heart had surpassed herself.
Since then, every time Zhai Zhigang goes on a mission, Zhang Shujing will hug him affectionately, and every night when her husband comes home on time, her heart will feel calm. This kind of family concern makes Zhai Zhigang feel warm outside, and it also gives him the strength to persevere in this difficult position.
In 1996, an opportunity presented himself to Zhai Zhigang: he was selected to participate in the physical examination of the astronaut primary selection. Zhai Zhigang has professional piloting skills and strong psychological qualities, these two traits make him more likely to succeed, although he had expected it, but the moment he learned the news, he still felt ecstatic, because becoming an astronaut is the ultimate dream of all pilots.
After Zhang Shujing learned the news, she was also happy for her husband, but becoming an astronaut still needs to go through many tests, and the clinical physical examination in front of her is only the first hurdle. After passing the clinical physical examination, it is also necessary to examine the various organs of the body one by one, and after several rounds of physical examination, only a few finalists are left in the primary selection.
After a few rounds of selection, it was an esoteric and boring theoretical study, and he was overwhelmed by more than a dozen courses, and he had to study from morning to late night every day like taking the college entrance examination.
The road to success is tortuous but close. Zhai Zhigang has passed the test of the cultural class exam, and now there are only 20 people left in the screening list, and he is only one step away from his dream.
However, the final hurdle followed: testing the candidates' families. This news worries Zhang Shujing, who understands that the key in her hand may be related to her husband's future.
During this period of waiting, both of them were restless. After thinking about it, Zhang Shujing said to her husband: "If my physical problems will affect you, I am willing to divorce, no matter what, I can't let your future be affected." ”
She has transcended her small family and sublimated her love into an understanding of her husband's career and a concern for everyone. Fortunately, the good news came: Zhai Zhigang was successfully selected to become China's first generation of space pilots.
Together with several other astronauts, he will travel to the northwest to prepare for the future star flight. Zhang Shujing also took immediate action, followed in her husband's footsteps, joined the Aerospace Food Research Institute, and the couple became "astronauts" together.
Since then, their lives have been destined to be closely linked to the aerospace industry, and they will shoulder the heavy responsibility of exploring the unknown and pursuing their dreams together. Although this road is full of challenges, they believe that as long as there is love and faith, they can conquer everything and make history together.
From the blue sky to the stars, Zhai Zhigang has made great progress in his career, while his wife Zhang Shujing has worked silently behind his back to run a warm and happy family for him.
Zhang Shujing said to her husband: "You have become a national treasure, leave the family affairs to me." Hidden behind this sentence is her support for her husband's career and family responsibility.
Although career and family are the two most difficult issues for people to deal with, Zhang Shujing took over the burden of the family with a simple promise. However, as soon as they settled their families, Zhang Shujing faced the challenge of the "Interim Regulations on the Management of Astronauts".
Although life is full of difficulties and challenges, they always go on with determination because they know that only in this way can they achieve their dreams and goals.
Zhang Shujing's words not only show her courage and determination, but also express her deep love for her family and endless support for her husband. Her story teaches us that with love and determination, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we can overcome them and achieve our dreams.
Zhang Shujing saw strict regulations, including dietitians making recipes for three meals a day, keeping samples of each meal, buying food only in specialty stores, and buying vegetables only at green vegetable bases on the outskirts of Beijing.
She realized that as an astronaut, she couldn't choose her food as freely as ordinary people. This rule surprised her, just eating was already so strict. After that, her life exceeded her expectations.
Whenever he goes out with Zhai Zhigang, there will be someone to follow, even on a crowded bus, there will be someone to help. Zhang Shujing once wanted Zhai Zhigang to ride a motorcycle to send her, but the organization's rules forbade this.
Although the rules made her uncomfortable, she realized that it was good for her husband and herself, such as the ban on smoking and drinking, which invisibly changed her husband's habits, and the ban on motorcycles also reduced the potential risks.
After adjusting her mindset, she accepted this fact.
In 1999, their baby son was born, bringing endless joy and busyness to the family. Zhang Shujing wanted to send the child back to her hometown to avoid affecting Zhai Zhigang, but Zhai Zhigang insisted that astronauts also had the right to be fathers, so he took care of the child at home as much as possible.
The arrival of this new member not only did not bother them, but made Zhai Zhigang more comfortable at work. In 2003, Zhai Zhigang, Yang Liwei and Nie Haisheng became the candidates for the "Shen V" astronauts at the same time, and confidently devoted themselves to closed training.
However, just as they were going all out, an unexpected thing happened - Zhang Shujing's mother-in-law was seriously ill.
For Zhai Zhigang, his mother is the most important person in his life. His father has been ill for a long time, and the family can only rely on his mother to sell fried melon seeds to make ends meet. This great mother not only raised several children, but also raised them all into high school students, it can be said that without a mother, there would be no astronaut Zhai Zhigang today.
However, if this news is told to Zhai Zhigang now, it will undoubtedly have an impact on his training. If you hide it, you are afraid that you will leave him with lifelong regrets. Zhang Shujing was in a dilemma, and at this time, her mother-in-law killed her relatives and called** to ask her to hide the news.
Zhang Shujing tearfully agreed, during which she endured the pain alone, while keeping in touch with her mother-in-law, rushing home whenever she was free, and sending a lot of medicines back.
Zhang Shujing's thoughts are like filaments, tangled and complicated. With her deep love for her mother-in-law and admiration for her husband, she silently bears heavy pressure. She adheres to her filial piety to her husband and strives to protect her mother-in-law's life.
However, God did not take pity on their efforts, and her mother-in-law passed away in 2004, leaving an incurable scar. At this moment, Zhai Zhigang is going all out for aerospace training, while Zhang Shujing is alone taking on the heavy responsibility of taking care of her mother-in-law's funeral.
She witnessed Yang Liwei's successful flight in 2005, but all this did not bring Zhai Zhigang any comfort. When he returned to his hometown, his mother's grave became the only relative he could see.
He knelt in front of the grave, tears welling up, this was the first time Zhang Shujing saw her husband crying, and it was also the first time she truly understood the pain and pressure her husband was undergoing. Standing behind him, she grieved for him and was proud of him.
The joke of fate made Zhai Zhigang miss the last time he saw his mother in the "Divine Five", and lost twice in a row, but his teammates Nie Haisheng and Fei Junlong flew into space.
This was undoubtedly frustrating for Zhai Zhigang, and he asked his wife with a wry smile: "Will I still have a chance?" However, Zhang Shujing, a strong woman, has gradually grown up in the grinding of life.
This time, she comforted her husband in turn: "You are at the ** age of an astronaut, you still have many opportunities, and your mother-in-law's last wish is to let you fly into space, how can you give up easily?" ”
Under the repeated guidance of his wife, Zhai Zhigang regained his spirits, and he firmly believed that he still had a chance. Finally, the turning point of fate came, the "Shen VII" flying plan began to be implemented, Zhai Zhigang was selected for the astronaut echelon again, and he finally realized his dream and went into battle easily with excellent physical fitness and relaxed spirit.
Zhai Zhigang's efforts were not in vain, and his talent was finally recognized. At 6 p.m. on September 25, 2008, China Aerospace sent three astronauts again, among them, Zhai Zhigang successfully opened the orbital hatch of the Shenzhou-7 manned spacecraft at 16:40 on the 27th, and carried out the space out-of-cabin activity for the first time.
He successfully left the footprints of Chinese in space and became the focus of world attention. However, as he embarked on an epoch-making spacewalk, his wife, Zhang Shujing, also witnessed the historic moment in front of the screen.
Although her heart was full of excitement and pride, there was also endless worry and nervousness. Luckily, it all happened just right.
At the astronauts' return ceremony, Zhang Shujing welcomed her husband with a unique bouquet of pink roses and lilies. When asked why she chose only one rose, she playfully said that she originally planned to buy 99 roses, but she heard that many girls fell for Zhigang, so she decided to buy only one to express her uniqueness and uniqueness.
The special design of this bouquet of flowers allows people to see Zhang Shujing's ingenuity and unique charm.
After hearing this, Zhang Shujing couldn't help laughing, while Zhai Zhigang, who was beside him, scratched his head embarrassedly and said to his wife: "I only want this one in my life." ”
The rose symbolizes his love with only one heart, and the bouquet of lilies represents his eternal commitment to love. Zhai Zhigang, who returned home, is a model husband, he feels that he owes too much to his wife and children after becoming famous, so he always rushes to do housework, laundry, cooking, mopping the floor and washing dishes, as long as he is at home, he will take everything on himself.
Someone once asked curiously, "Why don't you two have any worries?" Zhang Shujing answered this question in only three sentences: "He is a warm husband, a lovely father, and a filial son." ”
And when it comes to Zhang Shujing, people who know her give her a thumbs up, and friends will praise her for her good looks. Zhai Zhigang often shows off his wife's beauty, but in his heart, his wife's beauty is a light that cannot be concealed from the inside out.
Zhai Zhigang, a person who has never forgotten his dream of aerospace, his wife Zhang Shujing has always understood and supported him. Finally, his dream came true again - the launch of Shenzhou-13.
On October 16, 2021, Shenzhou-13 was successfully launched. On April 16, 2022, Zhai Zhigang successfully completed his Shenzhou-13 mission and successfully returned to Earth.
When the plane landed, he and his handsome son hugged each other with flowers in their hands, and this scene touched countless people. On June 28, 2022, Zhai Zhigang and three other astronauts made their first public appearance in Beijing Aerospace City 74 days after returning to Earth.
In an interview, Zhai Zhigang said that the whole return process was very exciting, and his radiant expression showed his love for the aerospace industry. Behind Zhai Zhigang's brilliance, it is inseparable from the selfless dedication and sacrifice of his good wife and mother Zhang Shujing, who firmly chooses to follow in her husband's footsteps and never give up.
