In 2017, in the auditorium of the Naval University of Engineering of the People's Liberation Army of China, a middle-aged woman dressed in a simple and filled with tears in her eyes was particularly noticeable.
The woman looked at the energetic boy on the stage and murmured, "Dear, have you seen it? Our son can defend his country from now on."
Her name is Ruan Guoqin , and her husband is "Sea and Air Guardian" Wang Wei . On April 1, 2001, he collided with the US military while flying a J-8 fighter jet and died heroically. The body is still unknown.
It has been 21 years since the hero Wang Wei died. How is Ruan Guoqin, as the hero’s widow? Unexpectedly, she really achieved the touching promise of " You protect South China Sea with your life, I protect you with your life".
childhood sweetheart
In April 1968, Wang Wei was born in an ordinary family in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. He has developed the habit of writing diaries since elementary school. Every time he finishes his homework, he will open the diary to recall the details of the past.
When he was in junior high school, his parents used the savings he had accumulated for many years to buy an black and white TV . This made Wang Wei very excited. When he saw the PLA soldiers on the screen, he secretly swears in his heart: must serve the country by serving the country.
A late night when I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, Wang Wei wrote in his diary: " can become an eagle soaring in the blue sky, which is my greatest pursuit in my life. "
There is an air force airport in Huzhou, Zhejiang, and it will conduct flight drills every once in a while. Every time, Wang Wei will always lie on the balcony and wait and see, with envy in his eyes.
However, when Wang Wei expressed his dream of joining the army and becoming a pilot, he was strongly opposed by his relatives and friends. Even the classmates couldn't help laughing at him for being daydreaming after hearing this.
Amid the many oppositions and ridicule, there is only one person standing next to Wang Wei from beginning to end. She is Ruan Guoqin , and Wang Wei’s classmate in high school. The two of them sat in the front and back tables in the class.
Because of his tall and handsome appearance, Wang Wei never lacks suitors , but he likes a quiet and reserved girl like Ruan Guoqin.
A thrilling experience in a history class made the two young hearts get closer and closer. At that time, Ruan Guoqin was worried about math homework. She couldn't help but poke Wang Wei's back with a pencil and said in a low voice: ", you have to straighten your body. I want to solve these questions ."
As soon as the words fell, the window suddenly became cloudy and the heavy rain hit me instantly. The timid female classmate even screamed in fear, but Wang Wei straightened her back to the teacher on the stage, and remained motionless for a full 40 minutes.
Because of this "drawing the sword to help", made Ruan Guoqin completely reverse his attitude towards Wang Wei . The two gradually became familiar with each other. After learning that Wang Wei's dream was to become a pilot, Ruan Guoqin did not pour a basin of cold water like others, but wrote a long letter to encourage him.
Before leaving, Wang Wei did not choose to bury this love in his heart. Instead, he felt that if he didn't confess, he would have no chance. Everything seemed so natural. Two young and ignorant young people talked about the long-distance relationship that spanned thousands of miles.
In the past, the letters were very slow, the carriages were far away, and I only loved one in my life . The love between Wang Wei and Ruan Guoqin perfectly interpreted this sentence.
While college, Wang Wei sent thousands of letters to Ruan Guoqin, telling the truth about what he saw and heard in the military academy. Only then did Ruan Guoqin realize that he had picked up a treasure inadvertently.
Wang Wei not only has excellent academic performance, tall and handsome, but also can grow flowers, fish and chess, and even play guitar and arrange music. However, he is such a perfect boyfriend of , which all girls dream of, but he is the only one in his eyes, and he is determined.
A letter of mercy
Day after day of hard training and rigorous selection, Wang Wei never complains about fatigue or hardship, Air Force Academy will screen out 29 of the 325 elites, which also means that there will be more difficult tests in front of everyone.
Among the students of the same period, Wang Wei flew the most advanced domestic fighter, , for the first time, and became a "all-weather" first-class pilot who could fly four weathers with his perseverance beyond ordinary people.
Every pilot is very valuable to the country. Both physical and intellectual literacy requirements are very high. Someone once did statistics that it takes at least 100 million RMB to train an excellent pilot. It is conceivable how heavy the burden on the shoulders of pilots such as Wang Wei is.
Every time I encounter setbacks in training, Wang Wei will always write down his suspicion of himself in the letter, and Ruan Guoqin will patiently enlighten her boyfriend, but soon, a thick heartless letter from made her mood fall to the bottom instantly.
On the eve of New Year's Day in 1988, Ruan Guoqin received a breakup letter written by Wang Wei. The general content was Wang Wei met a female college student who was better than Ruan Guoqin everywhere. The two hit it off. was written in order to make her give up and not bother herself anymore.
Tears had already burst out from my eyes, and the thick letters were instantly wet. Ruan Guoqin couldn't believe that Wang Wei was so heartless, but she repeatedly looked at the handwriting and sentences, and could only endure the grief and tell herself: Sometimes fulfilling is also a kind of love .
There is also a simple drawing at the end of the breakup letter, which reads Wang Wei's tomb. The heartbroken Ruan Guoqin did not understand the meaning of the painting. After calming down, she wrote a reply to the other party and sincerely sent her blessings to Wang Wei and her new girlfriend.
Unexpectedly, a week later, Ruan Guoqin received another letter from , written by five comrades-in-arms of Wang Wei, , with a total of 9 pages. Only then did she realize that , it turned out that Wang Wei had not changed his mind, and he did not have the so-called female college student as he mentioned.
When Ruan Guoqin finished reading the whole letter, she was already full of tears. It turned out that during an parachuting training, Wang Wei witnessed a student's accident and sacrificed. He neither wanted to give up his dream of flying nor was he willing to drag down his beloved girl, so he had to do this bad decision.
Along with this letter, Wang Wei, who was haggard, also arrived. He specially asked his leader for a long vacation and took the hard seat of the train all night to meet Ruan Guoqin.
The next second after sending the breakup letter, Wang Wei regretted . He could not bear the ending of separation from his lover, so he rushed over. After this love test, the relationship between Ruan Guoqin and Wang Wei became stronger.
Share the joys and sorrows
1992, Wang Wei used an bullet shell necklace as a betrothal gift and got his beloved girl home as he wished. In the second year after the marriage, Ruan Guoqin bid farewell to her parents, gave up her future and followed her husband's footsteps to live in the Ledong army in Hainan.
The mattress is always wet, and you can only get water once a week. The little bugs can be seen everywhere. This is Ruan Guoqin’s first impression of Hainan, and it also makes her, a woman from the Jiangnan water town, feel that “life is full of surprises.”
But when I think about being by my husband, Ruan Guoqin always feels a sense of happiness. Although Wang Wei is as busy as ever at work, he has never neglected to take care of his wife. Every time he takes Ruan Guoqin on a trip, he takes Ruan Guoqin to travel and relax.
Of course, most of the time Ruan Guoqin can only wait for silently at home, praying that her husband will land safely every time he flies. This torment of waiting alone will gradually fade away until his son is born.
When giving birth to a son, Ruan Guoqin was bleeding from abdominal cavity. The hospital issued several notices for critical illness to Wang Wei. During the three hours of the operation, he paced back and forth in the corridor, begging God over and over again to make peace for the mother and son.
Until a crisp baby cry came from the operating room, Wang Wei's heart was finally let go, He hurriedly returned to the army without even having time to look at his wife and children.
Become a father for the first time, Wang Wei rushes to wash diapers and brush bottles every day, and named his son "Prince". The family of three lives a happy life in Hainan.
In addition to being a qualified husband and father, Wang Wei's love and focus on the flight career is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He lay in front of the computer every night to study data, and quantitative analysis of flight parameters such as wind direction, wind speed, clouds and visibility is required.
It is this serious and responsible work attitude that made Wang Wei's troops complete all the movements very well when participating in the joint maritime exercise and were fully recognized by the superiors.
In addition to rich theoretical knowledge reserves, Wang Wei's flight technology is also in the leading position in the industry, and he has mastered the flight skills of three new fighter .
Watching the classmates who were then transferred to their hometowns one after another, holding an annual salary several times higher than the army, allowing their wife, children and family to live a stable life, Wang Wei always feels guilty and blamed himself, but he never regrets it.
In order to defend the honor and dignity of the country, Wang Wei gave up the job of Zhejiang Civil Aviation with a considerable salary and even sent his 5-year-old son back to Huzhou and handed over to his parents for care. However, it is such a trump pilot who serves the country and the people, but his life is forever frozen at the age of 33.
Late at night on March 3, 2001, Wang Wei, who had just finished his flight mission, dragged his tired body home. In addition to his wife Ruan Guoqin, there was also a bowl of steaming seafood porridge .
While drinking porridge, Wang Wei said to Ruan Guoqin excitedly: " do you know? At the Spring Festival, foreign troops used reconnaissance aircraft to probe China, but as soon as our fighter plane took off, they immediately fled ."
Before Ruan Guoqin could answer, the landline at home suddenly rang. I don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone. Wang Wei frowned unconsciously, and his slender fingers kept tapping the coffee table table. After the phone was hung up, Wang Wei left only one sentence: "Now I have to go to the outdoor venue to pay duty. There is still a task tomorrow night. You can rest early and wait for me to come back if you have anything." Then he packed up his clothes as quickly as possible and disappeared from Ruan Guoqin's sight.
No one expected that the separation between Wang Wei and his wife Ruan Guoqin turned into a forever farewell.
bad news came
On the morning of April 1, 2001, an unknown reconnaissance aircraft was found in the South China Sea waters of my country. Wang Wei was ordered to check it out in the
The American reconnaissance plane not only ignored Wang Wei's warnings many times, but also suddenly turned around and collided to the "War Eagle" . Both planes crashed. At the last moment, Wang Wei parachuted successfully crashed into the South China Sea.
In fact, the ground observer had already discovered that something was wrong and issued an order to Wang Wei as soon as possible. ordered the 81192 fighter jet to return immediately.
However, after hearing the organization's order to return, Wang Wei calmly replied: "
Not firing means that China's South China Sea portal has lost all the sovereignty in the air. Once the fire is opened, it will inevitably cause disputes between China and the United States. At such a critical moment, Wang Wei chose to use his young life to end the invasion.After the
accident, the air force sent a large-scale search force. 100,000 search and rescue personnel searched for for 14 days, but they never salvaged Wang Wei's bones.
During that time, the news broadcast was broadcasting real-time progress in searching and rescuing Wang Wei. Although knew that the probability of survival was slim, no one was willing to give up.
On the other side, Ruan Guoqin fainted on the spot and was rushed to the hospital after learning the news. She lay on the hospital bed and said to herself: " Wang Wei will come back, I will wait for him to come back ."
On April 24, 2001, the country awarded Wang Wei the title of "Sea and Air Guardian" and the hero and model medal, and posthumously named him a martyr. The party and the government properly resettled Wang Wei's family. His wife Ruan Guoqin was specially recruited to join the army.
The most beautiful struggler
In the 21 years after her husband's death, Ruan Guoqin thought more than once to follow Wang Wei, but she couldn't rest assured that her elderly parents-in-law and parents could not give up the only bloodline of the couple.
Comrade Jiang Zemin and other leaders have visited Wang Wei's family several times, and held the 6-year-old prince in his arms and talked patiently, firmly expressing his opinion: If there are any difficulties in work or life, please raise it.
Considering that Ruan Guoqin has many years of financial experience, the government transferred him to the Navy to engage in financial work. During the more than ten years of working in the army, Ruan Guoqin has always worked diligently and never caused trouble to the organization.
Not only that, Ruan Guoqin also won the third-class merit of person for her excellent performance in work once, and the Navy Advanced Individual Award twice. She proved with her practical actions that she would fulfill her mission for her deceased husband Wang Wei and protect the motherland and the people.
There were several times. Ruan Guoqin discovered that her son had a high fever late at night. In order not to disturb her parents-in-law, she went to the hospital with her son alone to get an infusion. At this time, she always remembered her husband Wang Wei, who would take care of his family, and .
Even her parents-in-law couldn't stand it and tried to persuade Ruan Guoqin to marry someone else, so that someone would take care of her in her later years, but she refused them all.
Wang Wei's wish during his lifetime was to become China's first-generation aircraft carrier pilot . Ruan Guoqin also hopes to personally board the Liaoning ship or Shandong ship one day in the future, hold the bullet shell necklace left to him by his deceased husband, and tell Wang Wei who had been sleeping for many years: You are the hero of the motherland and the people, and this prosperous era is as you wish.
South China Sea impact incident was because China was not strong enough in all aspects at that time, which gave Western powers an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, Wang Wei defended the sea and air of the motherland with his life, and also brought warning to countless Chinese people, that is, how to protect the ocean left by his ancestors, and how to deal with the increasingly complex international situation today ?
In order to inspire more patriotic people in Wang Wei's story, Ruan Guoqin spent two years writing a book called " Watching the South China Sea - The Days of Leaving Wang Wei ", encouraging more military wives who have the same experience as her to live a good life and create a better tomorrow with their hands.
The manuscript fee of this book was used by Ruan Guoqin to establish the foundation . is mainly to help the families of martyrs , so that they can have a channel to express their inner troubles and feel the care and warmth of society.
I just didn't expect that even so, there were still many people who didn't know the truth accusing Ruan Guoqin of using the identity of a martyr's family to make money , and her intentions were sinister. In this regard, I can only say: If the heart is dirty, it is really dirty .
In 2017, Prince successfully graduated from the Naval Engineering University of the People's Liberation Army of China and officially became a naval officer . Even if he was separated from his father's yin and yang, he could feel that he was not alone on the road to pursuing his dreams.
At the graduation ceremony, Ruan Guoqin held her husband's photo tightly in her hand and comforted herself over and over again: You are already excellent enough, if you know Wang Weiquan, you will definitely feel particularly relieved.
In September 2019, Wang Wei was awarded the " Most Beautiful Struggler " medal. As the widow of martyr Ruan Guoqin received the award on behalf of . At the conference, she stated more than once that she would not marry again, and she had long left her heart in the South China Sea .
A year later, Lieutenant General Yang Zhiliang and Major General He Yuehua came to visit the families of the martyrs on behalf of the troops. Seeing his adult son having a happy conversation with the leaders, Ruan Guoqin was both relieved and moved, and suddenly felt that the efforts of these years were not in vain.
In Ruan Guoqin's view, whether now or in the future, Wang Wei's glorious image will remain in everyone's heart. His son will take over the number 81192 and continue bravely and fearlessly. Only in this way can he not let down the sacrifices of those heroes, and our motherland will be more prosperous.
