In October 1964, an ordinary rural family in Hubei welcomed their sixth child, Nie Haisheng. Although the family was not wealthy and the parents were barely able to make ends meet on their meager income, they never relaxed their education for their children.
Since childhood, Nie Haisheng has shown an excellent talent for learning. He is well aware of the poverty in his family and especially values the learning opportunities provided for him by his parents. In addition to studying, he is also willing to help with housework, and has become a little adult in the family.
His diligence and sensibility not only pleased his parents, but also won the affection of his teachers and classmates.
The turning point came on January 5, 1998, the founding day of the Chinese People's Liberation Army astronaut brigade. Knowing that the Air Force began to recruit pilots from all over the country, Nie Haisheng did not hesitate to make a life-changing decision - to participate in the astronaut selection.
From then on, Nie Haisheng began his flying career. During his time at aviation school, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his studies and training. No matter the wind or rain, he insisted on going to the training ground to exercise; Even if he had blisters on his hands, he never cried out in pain.
He practiced repeatedly until he mastered every flight operation and theoretical knowledge until he mastered it, and it was this strict requirement for himself that made Nie Haisheng rank among the best in the final assessment and became the first pilot among the students in the same period to obtain the qualification of solo flight.
A young man from the countryside, relying on his hard work and perseverance, started a legendary space journey.
When Nie Haisheng's flying career was in full swing, love also came quietly. Through a friend's introduction, Nie Haisheng met Nie Jielin, a nurse who was two years younger than him. Although she has a different background from Nie Haisheng from the countryside, Nie Jielin grew up in a cadre family and was wealthy since she was a child, but she did not form an arrogant character, but was always kind and gentle, dignified and polite.
The two fell in love with each other as soon as they met. Nie Jielin was deeply attracted by Nie Haisheng's tenacity and hard work, while Nie Haisheng was attracted by Nie Jielin's kindness and gentleness. Regardless of the dangers that Nie Haisheng's career may face, Nie Jielin chose to follow his true thoughts and fall in love with this "poor boy".
Soon, they entered the palace of marriage and began a happy lifeSoon after marriage, they ushered in the crystallization of love - their lovely daughter Nie Tianxiang.
However, a major news event in September 2003 shattered that calm. Nie Haisheng was selected as the backup astronaut of the Shenzhou 5 mission, which is one step closer to realizing the dream of flying.
In the eyes of others, this news is worth celebrating, but it has caused a lot of waves in the hearts of this loving couple.
Nie Jielin knew her husband's strength very well, and she clearly knew that once he participated in the selection, he would almost certainly be selected. She deeply remembered the tragic sacrifices of international astronauts, and her heart was full of fear and anxiety.
Faced with her happy family, she can't bear the pain of losing her husband.
Nie Jielin, who has always been gentle and understanding, strongly resisted her husband's decision for the first time. She became nervous and hurried, and resolutely opposed Nie Haisheng's participation in the astronaut selection.
In a heated quarrel, Nie Jielin even threatened divorce, hoping to prevent her husband from embarking on this unknown and dangerous path.
It became the hardest moment in their marriage. Nie Haisheng is caught in a dilemma: on the one hand, his lifelong dream, and on the other hand, his beloved wife and family. He understands that if he misses this opportunity, he may never realize his space dream, but he is also unwilling to hurt his wife because of his choice.
When faced with difficult decisions, Nie Jielin was equally troubled. She loves her husband deeply and understands his dreams, but she can't overcome her fear of unknown dangers. She was lost on how to find a balance between supporting her husband and protecting her family.
This crisis has put Nie Haisheng and Nie Jielin's marriage to an important test. It not only challenges their feelings, but also their understanding and trust in each other.
Faced with this difficult choice, they need to find a way to achieve their dreams while maintaining their deep bond.
In the face of this tug-of-war between love and dreams, Nie Haisheng and Nie Jielin had many in-depth conversations. Nie Haisheng patiently explained to his wife his love for aerospace and the importance of this opportunity in his life.
Nie Jielin also slowly understood her husband's ambitions, and she realized that if she suppressed her husband's ideals, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
After much deliberation, Nie Jielin made a difficult but courageous decision to fully support her husband in chasing his dreams. She deeply understands that it is because of her deep love for her husband that she should support him in achieving his ideals.
This decision marks a new phase in their marriage, and the understanding and trust between them has become deeper.
After Nie Haisheng became an astronaut, he faced unprecedented challenges. He had to endure heavy training and dozens of specialized courses, which was very stressful, both physically and mentally. In just a few months, he lost a lot of weight.
Seeing her husband working so hard, Nie Jielin was distressed, but she always remained strong and never showed worry in front of her husband.
In order for her husband to devote herself to training, Nie Jielin took on the responsibility of the whole family alone. Not only does she have to take care of her young daughter, but she also has to take care of her parents' daily life.
Despite this, she never let Nie Haisheng be distracted by family trivialities, and every time she called, she always told her husband: "Everything is fine at home, you don't have to worry".
In order to take care of her husband's body, Nie Jielin tried all kinds of methods. She often carefully prepared a variety of nutritious meals for Nie Haisheng to help him recover his strength. Whenever Nie Haisheng returned home, Nie Jielin would massage him to relieve his muscle fatigue.
These subtle and sincere care have become a huge motivation for Nie Haisheng to persist in completing the space mission.
Despite the difficulties, the couple remained undeterred. They encouraged and supported each other, and Nie Jielin's firmness and dedication made Nie Haisheng feel a strong backing, so that he could devote himself to the hard training without any worries.
It was the love between Nie Haisheng and Nie Jielin who understood each other and struggled together, and they worked together to get through the most challenging period of their lives, which also laid a solid foundation for Nie Haisheng's later success.

At this moment, she was even more convinced that her decision to support her husband in the first place was extremely wise.

He was awarded the honorary title of "Heroic Astronaut" and was awarded the "Medal of Meritorious Service for Astronautics".
These honors are not only an affirmation of Nie Haisheng personally, but also the best reward for him and his wife.
Looking at her husband with the blessing of the people of the whole country, Nie Jielin's eyes flashed with tears of pride. Thinking back to the time when she almost stopped her husband from chasing his dream, she was even more glad that she had made the right choice.
At this moment, she deeply felt that supporting her husband to pursue his dreams not only made a heroic astronaut, but also made their love stronger.
Nie Haisheng often said that without his wife's understanding and support, he would not have been able to achieve what he is today. He believes that the success of this space trip is not only his personal victory, but also the result of the joint efforts of the husband and wife.
Nie Jielin's understanding and sacrifice became the driving force for Nie Haisheng to move forward bravely.
This space flight experience made the relationship between Nie Haisheng and Nie Jielin even deeper. Together, they experienced hardships, separations, and joys, which became the most cherished memories of their marriage.

The success of this mission has further consolidated Nie Haisheng's position in China's aerospace industry.
After returning to Earth, Nie Haisheng received the "First Class Aerospace Merit Medal", which is the highest evaluation of his great contributions to the aerospace field over the years.

Whenever Nie Haisheng was away from home for a long time due to training or tasks, Nie Jielin always smiled and told him: "Everything is fine at home, you don't have to worry" This simple word has become the warmest comfort in Nie Haisheng's heart.
Nie Haisheng's daughter Nie Tianxiang has been more sensible than children of the same age since she was a child, and her name entrusts her parents' good wishes for her to be able to soar in the blue sky like her father.
