"During the War of Resistance Against Japan, I found that the pilots of the Chinese Air Force all had a common characteristic." Wang Liang paused slightly, and then continued: "Generally speaking, their family background is good, at least they don't have to worry about food and clothing. All of them are highly educated, educated, and have a strong patriotic heart. ”

During the Anti-Japanese War, the level of education received by the Chinese Air Force was simply incomparable with that of other branches of the armed forces.

This means that even if these young people do not become pilots, they can rely on their academic qualifications and abilities to seek a good job.

Or a university teacher, a government official, a doctor, and other decent and secure jobs.

But they chose to become pilots, and another of the biggest common denominators emerged.

During the Anti-Japanese War, when the martyrs of the Chinese Air Force died, the average age was only in their twenties.

Entering the school in the same year, graduating in the same year, and dying in the same year, this situation is not a new period in the Chinese Air Force's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

Wang Liang simply used more rational data to analyze it: "According to the statistics of the book "Chinese Air Force" compiled and published by the Executive Yuan of the Nationalist Government, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese Air Force made a total of 3,337 sorties, killing and missing 3,533 people, and the Japanese Air Force suffered 2,765 casualties in China and lost 2,148 aircraft of various types. ”

"The remains of most of the Air Force martyrs are buried in the Nanshan Air Force Anti-Japanese War Memorial Park in Shancheng and the Aviation Martyrs Cemetery in Nanshi. The Nanshan Air Force Anti-Japanese War Memorial Park in the mountain city, originally called the Air Force Cemetery, was built in 1938 and buried 242 martyrs of the Chinese, American and Soviet air forces who died in the Sino-Japanese air war. The Aviation Martyrs Cemetery in Namseong was built in 1932 and is home to about 3,320 martyrs, including 884 martyrs of the National Revolutionary Army, 2,179 American martyrs, 237 Soviet martyrs, and two Korean martyrs. ”

There is no such thing as a teleprompter, and this data is all imprinted in the head.

Talking about remembering the martyrs all day long is more about shouting slogans.

Who will really remember them?

Wang Liang will.

Wang Liang was able to clearly and accurately name each martyr who died, as well as their deeds.

Yes, in the 21st century, everything is riddled with everything, and they are all busy making money, where is there the effort to remember these people, not to mention that these people have been ancient for so many years, is there any point in remembering them?

Significance?

Material or spiritual?

"How tragic is the sacrifice of the Chinese Air Force? The sacrifice of many Air Force pilots was silent, often leaving only one line: 'One day, he went and never flew back.' 'Most of the Chinese pilots during the Anti-Japanese War had good academic qualifications and family backgrounds, full of patriotic enthusiasm, and had the courage to sacrifice ......"

Wang Liang didn't want to say too much, it was hard to imagine that picture.

When the fighter plane was hit by a shell, it was infinitely close to the ground, accompanied by a loud bang, the flames were monstrous, and the body was blown apart.

Where to find the pilot's body?

I'm afraid it's hard to find even a severed arm and stump.

What's inside the coffins of those martyrs' cemeteries?

It's nothing more than sacrificing the pilots' uniforms and the items they used during their lifetime, and that's it.

How tragic the Chinese Air Force is, "Bloodstained Sky" has already told you.

His, their stories, are three thousand five hundred and thirty-three, perhaps more.

Every martyr who sacrificed his own life, his own experience, and at the same time his own story, in which he is the protagonist.

In life, each of us is the protagonist of our own life, and we are writing our own story every day.

"I flew over my homeland until my last breath turned into the wind." Wang Liang is bidding farewell to that heavy history, and this sentence is said for all the martyrs who sacrificed.

Most of the viewers who participated in the recording of this episode of "National Heroes" were college students, and they wrote their feelings on the small notes provided by the program team.

"History does not dare to comment on it. But I always think one thing is absolutely true. Anyone who resists foreign humiliation and defends China, regardless of party affiliation, is the backbone of the nation! ”

"'Born in modern China, we are not allowed to steal a moment of life' - noble, tragic, poignant, you are a well-deserved national pride, it is your heroic sacrifice in exchange for the victory of our nation, salute you!!"

"The introduction of the martyrs I saw at the Sino-US Cooperation Institute in Chongqing was all in their teens and twenties, well-educated, and well-off! But for the sake of a bright future for tomorrow's China, they went forward and fought heroically! How magnificent! Kudos to them! ”

"All those who have sacrificed and contributed to the cause of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, regardless of race and nationality, should be respected and courteous by us!"

"From 1937 to 1945, this glorious, this shining, and tragic War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will eventually restore its original face, and the outstanding descendants of the Chinese nation will pay tribute to the national heroes!"

"Salute to the martyrs, every time I visit the Whampoa Military Academy, I have a high respect in my heart. As the old chief said, the pilots' families are generally very wealthy, and many of them are high-level intellectuals of the year, who have read books and have ink in their stomachs. But they resolutely decided to risk their lives to serve the motherland, which is very worthy of respect! Salute! ”

Young people in different eras grow up in different environments, but what remains unchanged is the patriotic heart, and China has never lacked heroes throughout the ages.

There is no shortage of heroes in the country.

Wang Liang continued: "Let's turn our attention back to the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force units, and let's not talk about what just happened. On January 29, 2018, less than half a month before Chinese New Year's Eve, an Air Force plane crashed during flight training in Qianxian Province, and Shang Jin, a 2006 national defense student of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, died at the age of 30. ”

Rank and file officer, husband, father, son.

Playing multiple roles, he said he walked away.

A three-year-old son, a one-year-old daughter, will never see her father again.

In this New Year of 2018, how should their family spend it, and how could there be laughter.

How do you answer this question when your child asks over and over again, 'Daddy, Daddy'?

"Between the blue sky and white clouds, forever follow the blue sky and white clouds to soar into the sky, you are not handsome! Not handsome at all! How can he ruthlessly abandon his wife, children, parents, and comrades-in-arms who are fighting side by side? Come back! I know you're okay! You're just tired, take a break somewhere, and come back right away, it must be like this! Wang Liang roared from the bottom of his heart, preparing for the time of war, which is the so-called peaceful thing, there should be no more sacrifices!
