Who's Huang Yong?

Huang Yong, male, born in Shaoyang County, Hunan Province, 198 1 born, 1998+02 enlisted as a first-class sergeant in the maintenance squadron of an air force regiment in Guangzhou Military Region. In July 2003, he died honorably for saving lives. (For details, please see our newsletter "Sunshine Hero" on February 23rd)

When I received the task of interviewing Huang Yong's deeds, I leafed through a thick stack of deeds, and I couldn't help but sigh: "What a hero.

"Huang Yong died in July last year, and it has been more than half a year now. However, 227 selected diaries printed in type attracted me, and I glanced at them briefly. My first thought was: "Is this diary true? "

The first stop of the interview was a military airport on the southern coast, where Huang Yong's regiment was stationed. On the day of arrival, it happened to be the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month. Several soldiers were setting off fireworks in front of the army guest house. Ask, are Huang Yong comrades-in-arms, just finished a day of training. Being in such a group of "camouflage uniforms" cheering in the night sky, it suddenly occurred to me that if Huang Yong were still alive, he must be one of them.

After the fireworks, an officer of the Air Force Political Department suddenly said mysteriously to the reporter, "I want to show you something." In his residence, he opened a locked suitcase and took out four books with color covers. He said that these are the originals of Huang Yong's diaries, which have already been handed in, and now they are borrowed from relevant departments to show to reporters. To this end, he also made an iou.

Huang Yong's handwriting is not beautiful, but it is neat, and every stroke is carefully written. After receiving the diary, my hands trembled, and I felt moved and responsible-the diary was to record the most secret in my heart, and the owner of the diary had passed away.

Huang Yong, forgive me. I've been studying your diary every day in this interview, so I can't ask your permission. Your diary followed me to every place where you grew up, lived and worked.

I'm confirming it.

From doubt to belief, from belief to shock, from shock to admiration, a 22-year-old "new new human" made me sigh.

Open the diary again, wake up Huang Yong who has fallen asleep, and walk into the spiritual world of the sunshine hero together.

Heroes are "forced"

-1May 25, 999

"Wow, wow, wow", I woke up and found that it was raining heavily, so I quickly took out my raincoat.

It rained heavily yesterday. This is the first time I have encountered such heavy rain since I came to Liuzhou. When I got to the classroom, I watched the rain outside the window and my thoughts flew outside. Looking at the deep water on the ground, I can't help but wonder if Liujiang is rising now. If this situation continues, it may flood and I will have to fight the flood.

I'm really afraid of fighting floods, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of death. If I really fight floods, I don't think I will be worse than anyone else.

A hero is known in the time of misfortune. Heroes are not born heroes. For example, Li Xiangqun was transformed into a soldier with good ideological quality in the army. Of course, the environment in which he grew up is also closely related to the educational influence of his relatives and friends around him, which cannot be ignored.

But I think that as long as a person's quality is not bad, he will become a hero in a specific environment, a specific place and a specific time. I can say: heroes are forced out, but not everyone can be forced into heroes.

1Huang Yong in may, 1999, just joined the army for less than seven months. In the face of the flood, 18-year-old boy told the truth: I am really afraid of fighting floods.

But on July 23, 2003, he was also in the water, in do or die, but he left the hope of life to others and the danger of death to himself. Perhaps, at the moment when Huang Yong decided to jump into the whirlpool to lift the drowning man, he didn't think of sacrifice, let alone "I would rather die for the people than live for myself". But it was at that moment that Huang Yong made himself a hero.

Huang Yong said that heroes are forced out, but not everyone can be forced to be a hero. In the interview, Zheng Rong, the instructor of Huang Yong's company, concluded for Huang Yong: "Huang Yong will go this way sooner or later. He won't save people in the water today, but he will save people in the fire tomorrow, because he has the quality of sacrificing himself to save people. "

As circumstantial evidence of Zheng instructor's conclusion, just one week before Huang Yong's sacrifice, he just went home to visit relatives for a few days and went to Shaoyang Railway Station to see him off. Suddenly, he saw a pickpocket stealing from the crowd. Many people see it in their eyes, but they dare not say anything. Huang Yong, dressed in casual clothes, immediately stepped forward to stop him, scaring the thief to flee.

Huang Yong didn't expect to be a hero. He only keeps a diary for himself. Only when the reporter interviewed Huang Yong's comrade-in-arms Luo Ruicheng did he know the real process of these four diaries "surfaced".

Lo Jui-cheng told reporters that he had been with Huang Yong for so many years, but for his sacrifice, he didn't know that Huang Yong kept a diary.

He recalled that at 9: 00 pm on July 23rd last year, the company suddenly received a phone call from Uncle Huang Yong, saying that "Huang Yong was dying". Then the phone was cut off.

Luo Ruicheng and several comrades-in-arms immediately called Huang Yongjiu, but no one answered the phone. In desperation, they pried open Huang Yong's locked drawer and tried to find out Huang Yong's address book. Only then did they find a book full of diaries in the drawer.

The next day, the team began to sort out Huang Yong's relics, opened the war chest and suitcase kept by the company, and found three diaries of Huang Yong. These four diaries, one in junior high school, one in senior high school, one in maintenance training group and one in flight group, total 257.

After reading the diary, Huang Yong's comrades were surprised: "When were these written by Huang Yong?" Comrade-in-arms Tong remembers that when he was resting, he saw Huang Yong writing something on the table and suddenly took the book away in a mischievous way. Unexpectedly, Huang Yong, who has always been affable, was anxious with him. Afterwards, Huang Yong apologized to Tong, but just didn't tell Xiao Tong what was written in the notebook.

The secret of diary is for myself, but now, Huang Yong's diary has become the wealth of the whole world. Huang Yong, have you thought of it?

It's not a shame to steal learning.

-0 June 2006 17

……

Through this preparation, I stole another experience. Why steal it? Because I didn't repair the plane, but I've never encountered this kind of fault and its troubleshooting before, so it's stolen technology. During the work of the team leader, I have a certain understanding of how to disassemble and assemble this kind of parts more easily, how to reduce the damage of parts, how to be fast and safe, and how to disassemble and assemble skillfully. When I got home, I opened the maintenance disassembly book and contacted the group leader's explanation. Soon, I mastered the common problems and troubleshooting and maintenance methods of this machine and equipment. Isn't this the biggest gain today?

To tell the truth, I really want to be as good as the team leader, and I can learn everything about aircraft parts, equipment performance, parameters and so on. But I think the only way is to study hard, watch more, listen more, ask more questions and think more at ordinary times, consult more old comrades and learn more at ordinary times to improve their professional level, otherwise how can they become "backbone"?

-August 65438 +07, 2002

Today, in the process of troubleshooting, there was an episode that made me feel very much. It's a mechanical failure, and the team leader organizes the investigation. The team leader asked the new cadre to unplug a plug, and he did it without saying anything. The team leader asked him if he would like to? He said no, and the team leader said, what about you? He was speechless. And asked him why he didn't ask? He was speechless. The team leader said, "Brother! You ask, a temporary shame, Mo Wen, a lifelong shame, not to mention a temporary shame. "

Yes! Asking, a temporary shame, not asking, a lifelong shame. In fact, in the final analysis, everyone knows this truth, how true it is. Work is not afraid of jokes. If you don't understand, you must ask and never pretend to understand, otherwise you will make a big mistake in your work. In my future work, I will also remember this precious teaching: asking is a temporary shame, and not asking is a lifelong shame.

On the training ground of the Flying Corps, beside the fighter plane that Huang Yong used for maintenance before his death, several maintenance officers and soldiers were busy. Eight months ago, Huang Yong was one of them. According to Colonel Huang Yong, the pilots of aircraft maintained by Huang Yong are comfortable to fly and are rated as model airplanes every year.

Since becoming a mechanic, Huang Yong, who is competitive, is bent on becoming a master in business. On the bookshelf of the room where Huang Yong slept before his death, the reporter found a maintenance rule. The thick rules have been turned over, and notes are written in different colors between the lines. This book was once regarded as a treasure by Huang Yong and carried with him.

Machine maintenance is a hard and trivial job, with hard environment and high intensity.

The rainy and clear skies in spring and autumn require the crew to cover the plane with dozens of pounds of tarpaulins for a while, and then pull it down, which will make you sweat after several trips. The tail of the plane is 4 meters above the ground. Without any protective facilities, it is very dangerous to stand on a smooth surface. Huang Yong is not tall and slightly thin, but he is the first to climb the tail with a tarpaulin every time.

Huang Yong has also succeeded in drilling what it looks like. This is what Huang Yong realized. Does this simple truth inspire everyone in the workplace? !

Muddle along, that's the least worthwhile thing.

-200 1 May 1

……

Life is a kind of constant competition and self-transcendence. No matter what status you are or what job you do, you need all your input. Don't have a "guest" mentality, just muddle along, that's the most uneconomical.

One way to make yourself mature is to try to keep a happy mood.

-8 April 2003

Yes! People should love themselves. We have been active in this world since the day we were born. Although we are not a bright sun, we are a bunch of sunshine that warms people's hearts. If you love yourself, you will pay attention to dressing yourself up, not unkempt, not unkempt, and not making yourself masculine or feminine.

If you love yourself, you will be strict with yourself: "Save yourself three times a day." Dare to expose yourself, dare to dissect yourself, get rid of bad habits and accumulate good conduct bit by bit.

Love yourself to love others. If you don't respect yourself in personality, you won't take others seriously. If you don't pay attention to your self-cultivation, you won't be modest to your comrades. If you don't restrain your words and deeds, you won't consider whether others are stimulated.

If you love yourself, you can love your job. If you don't love yourself, you won't realize the meaning of work. If you don't love yourself, you won't seek your own value in your work. If you don't love yourself, you will never create excellent results in your work.

"Huang Yong is a sunny boy." The reporter heard someone say this about him more than once in the interview. Reading Huang Yong's diary, we seldom see the words of melancholy, depression and pain, but more love, happiness and hard work. I always feel that there is a big boy sitting in front of me who loves to joke and is full of youthful vitality. I thought I heard him say, try to be happy.

Huang Yong keeps a diary, not every day, but it is emotional and true.

What comrades admire most about Huang Yong is that he can always find happiness from a simple and boring life. Huang Yong is very clever. He knows what is the most uneconomical thing-muddling along. He took time to read more than 100 books. He wrote hundreds of letters to his classmates and friends, discussing life ideals and beautiful love. He took the self-study exam and learned to sing the latest songs. He is busy with his work happily, and he takes his apprentice happily. He is devoted and full of passion every day.

Shao Jianxin, a comrade-in-arms of Huang Yong, said that Huang Yong usually pays great attention to his appearance. If there is a little oil stain on his clothes, he will take it off and wash it at once. No matter how late you come back from the outfield, Huang Yong's dirty clothes never stay overnight.

Luo Zhan, a college student cadre, told me that in July 2000, he was assigned to a dormitory with Huang Yong, the first squadron of locomotive maintenance. There are many mosquitoes in Liuzhou in summer, and Luo Zhan, who has no mosquito net, sits on the bed worrying about sleeping. See Huang Yong hurriedly picked his mosquito net and handed it to Luo Zhan, who repeatedly refused. "It's okay. I am used to living here. Mosquitoes generally don't bite acquaintances. You can rest assured! " Huang Yong said, hanging mosquito nets on the bed of Luo Zhan. Luo Zhan slept comfortably all night. When he got up the next day, he found that Huang Yong's arm had been bitten by mosquitoes for several packages.

Mary Chen also recalled a little thing. That winter, Guangdong Bing He saw the snow for the first time and didn't want to eat rice, so he made a pile of snow to play in the yard. Huang Yong first ran to the cookhouse squad to take his meal back to the dormitory, and then picked up a big broom to play with Mary Chen's pile of snow.

Huang Yong loves himself, his comrades-in-arms, his work and his life, making life interesting. "The most beautiful thing in the world is moving. This kind of touching is not only that others have done good things to touch you, but more importantly, you have done good things to touch others. You see the touched face of others, which is the best touch in the world. " This is his favorite sentence.

Contradictions, wandering, never despair.

-February 2003 14

……

As the saying goes: iron camp, mobile soldiers. I regard the army as my home, but one day I will return to my hometown and find my dream. Although I have a green dream in my heart, how can I express my feelings? I also have my lifestyle, my pursuit and goals. ...

In the past, I have been very contradictory and hesitant. I think comrades-in-arms have good intentions, and many things cannot be done according to their own ideas. Anyway, I always have to be prepared. Even if ambivalence is difficult to decide, everything should be organized. If I stay, I will continue to work hard and perform my duties wholeheartedly. If the organization asks me to leave, I have no regrets. ...

"Desire is half a life, indifference is half a death." Many people say so, but not many people know what it really means.

Yes, difficulties, setbacks and failures are not terrible. Although it can knock a person down, it will never be defeated. There is a saying that "the stone presses the bamboo shoots obliquely and the flowers hang upside down." As long as there is the desire to pursue and immortal confidence, who says that all this is not the cultivation of courage and the whetstone of will? The most terrible thing is this: if you are frustrated a little, you will be devastated and disheartened. ...

Remember this sentence, it is called "Never despair".

Huang Yong is an honest and transparent person. In his short life, he also had a short wandering.

The reporter learned that at the end of 2000, Huang Yong was faced with the question of whether to stay or not for the first time.

At the end of that year, Huang Yong was transferred to another squadron when he was ready to join the Party and prepare for party member.

At the end of 2000, Huang Yong was looking forward to his first vacation since he became a soldier, but his job transfer went up in smoke.

In 200 1 year, Huang Yong's college girlfriend Li was pursued by a boy one year older than her, and Huang Yong could not visit her. Anxious, Huang Yong tried to sneak back to see his girlfriend with a suit and bag, but was stopped by his apprentice Mary Chen. Huang Yong fired impatiently at his apprentice: "Do you remember that the soldiers of the Third Squadron sneaked home and were confined? Why can't you remember the aircraft maintenance regulations I asked you to recite? "

Grandma is sick, mother is in hospital, etc. Also let Huang Yong once unhappy. But he always adjusts himself in time and stays out of it.

Huang Yong is a sunny boy and a young man with dreams. After leaving the army, he designed a variety of jobs for himself, such as car beautician, lawyer and psychologist. ...

As a town soldier, he will be discharged after two years of compulsory military service. Huang Yong's family also hoped that he would go back early and find him a good job. But Huang Yong is the technical backbone, and the army needs him very much. I hope he can stay and continue to serve the army. So, Huang Yong stayed.

He re-examined his life course and moved forward happily.

Go home forever

-9 July 2003

Tomorrow, I can go home to visit my relatives, so don't mention the excitement.

I asked for leave from the organization because of my father's birthday. Today, the deputy squadron leader informed me that I could leave tomorrow, and asked me to get my luggage ready for standby. My tutor came to me to explain some requirements and precautions for vacation, and also wrote a letter of guarantee. Comrades know that I can go back to my hometown tomorrow, and they all come over to ask if everything is ready and the tickets are ready. Wait a minute. I am very touched. Really thank you, my comrades-in-arms, my brothers.

In the evening, several fellow villagers chatted in a room and said that they must accompany their parents and family when they go back, so I asked them what to bring you. Everyone is a word: absolute Hunan specialty. The evening passed quickly, and the two brothers said they would have to go to work tomorrow and go to bed early. After saying goodbye, I went back to my room and couldn't sleep for a long time. I am really excited. I can see my mother's smile, taste my hometown food and have dinner with my family. I think everyone has experienced this exciting moment.

When the sun rises tomorrow, I can leave and visit my long-lost parents and friends.

At this point in the diary, there is no more. This is Huang Yong's last diary.

On the third day after Huang Yong's death, it was his father's 50th birthday. Huang Yong originally took a holiday 10 days earlier for his father's birthday to visit relatives. He also went to the city to order a birthday cake for his father, but his father did not share the happiness of his birthday with his filial son, but attended his funeral on his 50th birthday.

In spring, in front of Huang Yong's tombstone in Shaoyang, I saw flowers piling up. Tombstone photos, Huang Yong is still smiling.
