Mother sent me to fly.
Zhai Zhigang was born in a small village in Longjiang County, Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province. My father was ill in bed for many years, and a large family was supported by my mother.

Zhai Zhigang recalled: "My mother, who was nearly sixty years old, sold fried melon seeds for me to finish primary school and junior high school. She goes to the street to sell fried melon seeds every morning and comes back every night to smooth the wrinkled corner ticket with her rough and cracked hands. I can't stand this scene emotionally anymore. I told my mother in tears that I didn't want to continue studying. I want to help your old man support this family. "
Who knows that when he said his thoughts, his always kind old mother became angry. My mother said to Zhai Zhigang with tears: "My mother can't read and can't speak anything, but I must recognize a truth. You must continue reading this book! " "

When relatives and friends came to tell him that he had been admitted to the Air Force Flying Academy, his mother was even more excited than him.

What I learned is still very boring, it sounds very hard, and I really didn't adapt at first. I didn't sleep before 12 pm in the last two years. "
Space environment adaptability training is a very hard training. However, when watching his training video, the reporter found an interesting phenomenon-Zhai Zhigang was smiling from beginning to end.
