On October 26, the Shenzhou 17 manned spacecraft was successfully launched, showing its national prestige. The Shenzhou 17 crew is composed of three astronauts, Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie and Jiang Xinlin, and Tang Hongbo serves as the commander. Really heroes do not ask the source, the three astronauts are all from rural areas, but they have achieved great dreams, made meritorious contributions to the motherland, won glory for their hometown, and become the pride of their parents.
Astronaut Jiang Xinlin, who can drive tanks and fly airplanes, holds the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Air Force.
In 2006, Jiang Xinlin was admitted to the Armored Forces Engineering College and became a tank driver. After graduating from university, Jiang Xinlin joined the Air Force and changed from a tank driver to a pilot. In October 2023, he was selected as the crew of the Shenzhou 17 manned mission.
Jiang Xinlin was born in Jiangzhuang, Qiaomiao Village, Qiuzhen Town, Qi County, Henan, where almost every family relies on garlic for their livelihood, growing garlic, selling garlic, eating garlic, and pickles are all garlic. If he hadn't studied well and entered a military school, he would have spent most of his life revolving around garlic like his father. Jiang Xinlin has been very diligent since he was a child, picking up a sickle to cut grass and feed the sheep as soon as school is over, and his academic performance is far ahead of the class.
Tang Shengjie's astronaut who came out of the Loess Plateau is the youngest astronaut currently on a space station mission.
Tang Shengjie was born in Xiaoxi Village, Xigongyi Town, Anding District, Dingxi City, Gansu Province, Tang Shengjie was determined to join the army and serve the country since he was a child, and chose to apply for a military school in the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Air Force Aviation University. When he was in junior high school in Xiaoxi Village, he walked on the winding and rugged mountain road every day, walking 10 kilometers back and forth. I went to school before dawn and came back after dark.
Tang Hongbo, a first-class pilot of the Air Force, the Chinese astronaut with the shortest interval between two missions, is also the first astronaut to return to the Chinese space station.
He is a rural baby of the 70s, born in an ordinary peasant family in Feilan Village, Yunhuqiao Town, Xiangtan County, Hunan Province. He is the eldest in the family, and since he was a child, he has been greedy and dark with his parents to do housework and farm work, and in his 10s, he is already a good hand in the family. In the eyes of the villagers, he was an honest man, like his father, who could not rest, was diligent and sensible when he was young, and did his work smoothly in the fields. The physique exercised in the countryside, coupled with diligent study, was admitted to the Air Force pilot.
Three rural babies who came out of the countryside and became pilots had to endure several times more hardship than ordinary people in order to persevere to the end. Just as the so-called heroes do not ask about the source, in modern society, as long as you work hard enough, you have the possibility of becoming a model of the times!
