She graduated from Sun Yat-sen University and was once a senior talent who wanted to stay for Huawei to spend a million annual salary.

But she chose to join the army, gave up her annual salary of one million, took off all her halo, and resolutely joined the army.

Wei Huixiao

What has she experienced along the way from a gold medal with an annual salary of one million to an unknown female soldier on the ship?

The wind and waves and sunlight on the sea, the endless training and ups and downs, have she ever thought of giving up?

She joined the army at an advanced age, but became the first female captain of the Chinese Navy. What is special about her?

Today, let’s talk about Wei Huixiao’s legendary story.

1. From school to Huawei and then to school

1977, a little girl was born in a family of a Zhuang tribe in Baise, Guangxi.

The family named her Wei Huixiao, hoping that she could grow up healthy and grow up.

This family is not rich, and their parents go out to work all year round, but Wei Huixiao is a child with strong self-control.

It is time to learn and play, and never relax your requirements.

Wei Huixiao, who worked hard to study, was naturally rewarded by fate and performed very well in her studies.

is a well-known "child of other people's families". The teachers who have taught her praise her as a "excellent person in every aspect".

But other people's children occasionally lose their hooves in front of the horse.

Guangxi Baise is a famous hometown of red revolutionary culture and the birthplace of our party's Red Seventh Army .

Later, under the leadership of Zhang Yunyi and others, this team participated in the anti-"encirclement and suppression" battle in the Central Soviet Area and was a well-known meritorious force.

The children here have heard the most from childhood to adulthood stories of countless martyrs and sages who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Under such cultural influence, Wei Huixiao has had a "soldier dream" since she was a child.

She is determined to serve in the army and serve her motherland. Her ideal school is National University of Defense Technology , but her college entrance examination results are not as high as expected.

Finally, at the teacher's suggestion, she applied for meteorological of Nanjing University .

When she entered university, she did not relax her requirements for herself. She has always been working hard and self-disciplined.

She is focused on her studies and does not forget to work hard in social practice. Her extracurricular life can afford the four words "rich and colorful".

In , where academic masters gather, Wei Huixiao is also a dazzling star and has become a "storm" on campus.

In October 1998, a beautiful three-story western-style building on the southwest corner of , the Gulou Campus of , welcomed a guest from afar.

This is the former residence of American female writer Pearl Buck , and the guest from afar is the former US President Bush .

Guests from afar will naturally be warmly welcomed by the host, such as offering flowers. After careful consideration by the school, Wei Huixiao, who has always been at the top of professional grades and has a good appearance, became a student representative, and she presented flowers to Bush and expressed her welcome.

On the day of the event, Wei Huixiao was generous and her fluent English made Bush admire her.

When Bush took the flower, he directly grabbed her hand and kept praising and complimenting.

Bush, the old man,

In 2000, Wei Huixiao graduated from Nanjing University and chose to join Huawei.

is there, and she is capable and motivated and growing up very quickly. It took two years for her to be promoted to senior vice president secretary and administrative assistant.

young and capable, and very good at socializing. Huawei all knows that there is such a girl who is very capable.

By 2004, she had become the "gold white-collar worker" among the people of Huawei.

I am a "gold medal individual" and the team I lead is a "gold medal team". My career has developed so smoothly. In theory, we should continue to take advantage of the victory and continue to move forward.

But Wei Huixiao had a different view, it seemed that it was time to recharge herself!

does it as soon as possible. She resigned from Huawei and joined the army of postgraduate entrance examinations.

Because of Wei Huixiao's excellent performance in work, Huawei's boss Ren Zhengfei also left her a sentence:

" You are so outstanding, our Huawei's door is open to you at any time! "

promises that as long as she is willing to come back to work after graduation, Huawei will have her place and will give her higher treatment.

In 2004, she successfully took the postgraduate entrance examination across majors with the first major and was admitted to the Department of Earth Sciences of Sun Yat-sen University .

2. Her "Eight Hundred Miles of Clouds and Moons"

After leaving Huawei, Wei Huixiao also participated in a Miss InterContinental Competition, where she showed her gentle side.

She served as the captain of the etiquette team during her undergraduate studies and was at ease on the field and achieved the top ten results in the China Special Economic Zone.

But she can make a living by relying on her "beauty", but she chose to rely on her talent.

After Wei Huixiao entered graduate school, she worked harder than she was in her undergraduate degree.

In addition to improving her academic achievements, charity occupied most of her time.

In 2005, Wei Huixiao participated in the geological survey work in Tibet and was the first female volunteer in the expedition team to Ali and Nagqu areas at that time.

Wei Huixiao Tibet

Tibetan is a plateau for tourism, and its unique regional style and exotic style attract countless tourists.

However, this is only part of Tibet.

In addition to the well-developed tourist areas, there are also large areas of wastelands.

is where the expedition team is.

For the expedition team, Tibet has not only atrocities and unbearable temperature difference between day and night, but also a rugged and difficult mountain road.

Rocks or gullies, surging torrents or abandoned mines, every step along the way may be as dangerous as a shadow.

Tibet Wasteland (Pictures are from the Internet)

Wei Huixiao told a story about her journey with the expedition team in an interview.

She said that once she encountered a torrent, and a wave of half a person was turbulent, almost swept her away.

And on this road of marching, carelessness is even more fatal.

Once they walked on the mountain path only one person wide. If they accidentally make a mistake, they are very likely to fall off the cliff.

And under the cliff, there is a bottomless mine pit.

The experiences along the way made the members of the inspection team feel a lot. Wei Huixiao, who is both responsible for academic tasks and serves as a teaching teacher, is deeply touched by the issue of education. When the work of the inspection teams such as

were completed and about to return, Wei Huixiao made another decision - to continue the aid to Tibet and stay as a teaching teacher.

The children here are curiosity about the outside and yearning for knowledge in their bright eyes.

If there are no restrictions on living conditions and learning conditions, they will definitely become pillars of the motherland.

Wei Huixiao wants to do something for them.

She used her money to buy new stationery and daily necessities, and answered their questions as many as possible.

, patient and friendly Wei Huixiao quickly became one of the most popular teachers in the school.

But the banquet ended in the world, the mission of Tibet aid is about to end, and Wei Huixiao and the children say goodbye one by one.

At the last moment of walking, Wei Huixiao said:

"I will continue to move on the road to my ideals. There will be many different 'eight thousand miles' on this road. I will welcome the wind, rain and sunshine of the future with joy."

After returning to school, Wei Huixiao wrote down all his experiences and feelings, and finally gathered it into an article - "800 miles of clouds and moons ".

This article was published in the school newspaper of Sun Yat-sen University, providing a good reference for other students who want to participate in Tibet aid projects.

This is Wei Huixiao's "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon", but it is just her opening.

For the next few years, she continued to contribute to herself.

2008 Wenchuan earthquake , Wei Huixiao once again actively responded to the country's call.

Not only did she donate money to raise funds and send supplies, she also rushed to the disaster area directly, hoping to use her professional knowledge to support the disaster relief work.

08 has both bitterness and sweetness, and China hosted the Summer Olympics this year.

Unsurprisingly, Wei Huixiao signed up for volunteer work.

After layers of selection, she was selected and participated in the volunteer work of the National Swimming Center Water Cube.

is also the year. She is very outstanding in all aspects and will be seen by more people - Wei Huixiao was selected as the cover character by the magazine " Chinese Graduate Student ".

3. Rejecting an annual salary of one million will insist on joining the army

Time has passed until 2010, when Wei Huixiao is about to graduate with a doctorate.

She received an invitation from her old boss - Huawei is willing to hire her with an annual salary of one million.

But Wei Huixiao refused, she had her own wish.

During a previous South China Sea survey trip, there was a scene that was often remembered by Wei Huixiao when he was dreaming about it at midnight, and that was the scene during the South China Sea Fleet exercise.

Now, something in her heart has woken up again.

Yes, the dream of joining the army, she has always been buried deep in her heart.

She knew that the maximum age for my country to graduate from a doctorate is 34 years old. If she doesn't act, she will never have a chance in her life.

South China Sea Fleet

It is not something you can do by just talking about it.

Over the years, she has been conducting relevant training for herself, such as physical fitness.

From five kilometers a day at the beginning to ten kilometers a day later, Wei Huixiao was confident that her body was strong enough.

In order to realize her dream, she also wrote a self-recommendation letter , one of which was sent to the naval organs.

In the letter, she wrote down her resume bit by bit and analyzed her everything bit by bit.

Wei Huixiao wrote in the letter:

" aircraft carrier is the largest stage for Chinese sailors. For the sake of my dream, I applied to be an ordinary aircraft carrier crew member and grow in the battle of the wind and waves! "

This self-recommendation letter has been written for more than 200 pages. While showing herself to the relevant departments, it is also full of her determination to serve the motherland.

Chinese aircraft carrier

The timing of this year is also very good. The Chinese Navy is preparing to start the formation of an aircraft carrier receiving force.

Her self-recommendation letter successfully attracted the attention of relevant departments.

On the third day after the self-recommendation letter was sent, Wei Huixiao received a reply from the navy department to her.

Half a month later, her chance came - the Navy specially sent someone to Wei Huixiao's school to inspect her.

Because the formation of a new force takes time, Wei Huixiao has no way to know his assessment results for a long time.

Until 2012, she waited for the answer - she became a glorious Chinese navy.

This is the first female doctor in the Chinese Navy to join the army at the age of 35. According to her age, the word "exceptional" can even be used.

The moment she entered the army, Wei Huixiao took off all her halos and she was a new recruit.

4. Silent transformation on the ocean

Wei Huixiao is lucky because from the first day she became the navy, she embraced the "Dream of a Great Power" that countless ancestors have dreamed of in the past - Liaoning ship , China's first aircraft carrier .

Wei Huixiao became a member of the aircraft carrier Liaoning ship.

号 is mentally prepared, and she has to admit that the days at sea are much sadder than she imagined.

The wind and waves and bumps on the sea made Wei Huixiao dizzy all day long, and some common sense in the military camp made her confused.

For example, once, when Wei Huixiao and her comrades climbed the gangway together, they suddenly heard a whistle.

Her comrades stopped and stood at attention to one side and saluted.

Wei Huixiao

But Wei Huixiao ignored the whistle and continued to move forward.

The result of ignoring the whistle is a notice of criticism.

It turns out that this is the whistle of raising the national flag. According to regulations, all soldiers should suspend their work and salute the national flag.

knows where he lacks it and needs to make up for it. Wei Huixiao began to humbly ask her comrades for advice.

After a period of time, the common sense in the army was to explore it clearly.

Common sense gaps can be asked more questions and read more, and you can only grit your teeth and persevere in physical training.

The daily training task allowed her to see the gap between herself and others, but it was not Wei Huixiao who retreated.

She began to pay more attention to her physical training, not seeking the best, at least she couldn't hold back.

Wei Huixiao

Wei Huixiao practices for herself every day and has put a lot of effort into swimming.

Navy can't be a land duck, right?

As long as she docks, she will rush into the sea to swim.

bad supplement is effective, and Wei Huixiao's physical strength quickly caught up with her comrades.

Wei Huixiao has high requirements for herself and always encourages herself to make progress.

She pursues her own "ceiling theory", which means that she cannot be satisfied with the status quo, greedy for comfort, and always demands herself with higher standards.

Once she has physical fitness and basic common sense, she will learn about aircraft carriers and navigation command knowledge...

, she has completely transformed herself - like an old naval soldier.

Wei Huixiao

Her progress and ability, the organization also saw her. Wei Huixiao's navy cheating life began.

In October 2012, Wei Huixiao was appointed as the deputy director of the Liaoning Ship Navigation Department.

In just over half a year, she went from recruit Danzi to deputy minister, and her growth amazed everyone.

She is not only the first female doctor to join the army at the age of 34, but also becomes the first female deputy director on the aircraft carrier.

5. Time will crown her

Every step you have taken will become a shining treasure of life in the future.

Wei Huixiao's eight hundred miles of clouds and moon ushered in the moment of crowning.

In May 2016, Wei Huixiao passed the independent manipulation assessment and the first female deputy captain in the history of the Chinese navy was born.After that,

has successively participated in major exercises and training tasks such as "Shaw Hunting" and China-Russia "Joint of Maritime-2016" and were successfully completed.

A year later, she was transferred to the position of deputy captain of Zhengzhou ship.

Wei Huixiao

In November 2017, the International Fleet Review Activity for the 50th Anniversary of the Founding of ASEAN opened, and Wei Huixiao led the Zhengzhou ship to attend.

Her appearance attracted the attention and praise of naval personnel from ASEAN and the United States, Russia, Australia and other countries.

Recently, Wei Huixiao's name appeared in our sight again.

She was transferred to the captain of the Shaoxing ship and led the Shaoxing ship to complete the training mission and return.

This is another new chapter in Wei Huixiao's naval career and a new record in the history of the Chinese naval.

She is the first female captain of the Chinese Navy.

Shaoxing ship is my country's new type of missile destroyer , with Wei Huixiao as the captain, which shows how the organization values ​​her.

Wei Huixiao took 10 years to prove to the people who had admitted her before that she was worthy of her choice and was worthy of their expectations.

Wei Huixiao

Wei Huixiao once said this in " Let's Talk ":

One is to wear a very expensive watch, so that you can show that you are worth a hundred times your value; the other is my value, an inexpensive watch, because I have worn it, so I am worth a hundred times your value.

This sentence made Sa Beining , who said " Peking University is OK", also applauded, saying:

" learned it! In the future, young people ask about my values ​​again, and I will use this sentence. "

Wei Huixiao does not need external material contours, because she herself is shining.

And all her light does not come from the reflection of her parents, but is painted for herself bit by bit.

Now, her dream pursuit is not over yet, and she is still writing her future chapters carefully stroke by stroke.

Wei Huixiao said:

"My dream journey is still long. I used to be eager to walk every mountain in Baise . Now, my dream is to lead warships to guard the border of the motherland."

Wei Huixiao

Her story is not an isolated case.

More and more college students are actively choosing to join the military. They do not have any lofty ambitions and want to be a regiment commander or a brigade commander.

All they have is a innocent heart. The country cultivates me. When they grow up, the strong army of will have me, and the strong country will have me!

Of course, serving the motherland is not just about joining the army.

We strive to shine in all walks of life, and do our part if we have the right to do our best, and we are also contributing to the great dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Young people, if you have the strength, you will do it. The future China will depend on you! ​​
