This is a lonely and beautiful place, and also a magical place.
I work and live in this place.
I often walk in the golden Populus euphratica forest, stand by and watch the launch tower stand tall on the launch site. "There is a magical place, which is hidden by Badain Jaran. Populus euphratica is a natural disguise, and the desert is a barrier. " I meditated on beautiful poems, and I felt proud.
The author of this poem is General Cui Jijun. At that time, General Cui was the deputy director of China Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center (Dongfeng Aerospace City) and the deputy commander of the launch site system.
I remember that it was one day in 2003, and I happened to find a collection of poems about space flight in the literature section of the office network. These sensational works make me fondle admiringly. I downloaded all these poems to my floppy disk (I didn't have a USB flash drive at that time), took them home and copied them into my computer. I opened them and enjoyed them carefully as soon as I had time.
Later, when I learned that these poems were all from the personal collection of poems published by the general, There is a magical place, I did not hesitate to call the office of Deputy Director Cui. The phone was connected and a kind voice came. I signed up for my family, and then I spoke frankly about my desire to get his poems. On the phone, Deputy Director Cui said with a smile, then come and get it. I only have a few books here You are very lucky. I ran to his office at once.
General Cui Jijun's poems are full of literary grace and momentum. I often think that a soldier who can write such a poem should be a great man in life.
The general's office is simple and bright. He sat behind the big desk and was glad to see me standing in front of him. He handed me the collection of poems he had prepared. I was ecstatic when I saw the Book of Songs, but I was not satisfied and said, can you sign my name? He smiled, opened the title page of the collection of poems and wrote "Comrade Hui Hui, Cui Jijun, February 2004 10" for me. His fluent pen writing is very unique.
The general told me that writing poems was just his hobby. As he spoke, he showed me several thick books, including Rocket and Missile Testing Technology, Satellite Launch Site Testing and Launch Automation Command System and Introduction to Launch Engineering. I took the book and flipped through it. I told the general that I knew the importance of these monographs to the launch. Unfortunately, I am a layman in this field and don't understand them. I like your poems better.
In a short time, I changed from formal to informal.
I like every poem in the general's collection of poems, because these poems are derived from the scenery of people around me and the cause around me. I think the astronauts living here should have the most affection for the general's poems, but what happened on the Internet soon changed my opinion.
On June 5438+00 and June 5438+05, 2003, China's first manned spaceship "Shenzhou 5" was successfully launched, which celebrated the whole country and shocked the world! Everyone knows that there is a space hero Yang Liwei in China, but few people know about these astronauts who sent Yang Liwei to Tianyu.
I turned on the computer and listened carefully to a song "My Weak River" written by General Cui: "I want to explore the moon in Shenzhou for nine days and gently touch you, my weak river; Take the' Shenzhou', I want to roam the sky and kiss you goodbye affectionately, my weak river. I can't see enough, the spaceport on the bank of the weak water is endless, and the autumn wind dances with poplars ... "Excited, I typed out General Cui's space poems verbatim and posted them on the Internet.
Soon, I heard netizens reciting his poems in the online chat room. Later, with the appeal and support of netizens, I participated in three large-scale parties of General Cui's personal poetry reading. At that time, the grand occasion of the party was unprecedented on the Internet, and many people were deeply moved by this scene for a long time.
I asked General Cui, how can you write so many poems and go to so many places? He said that in fact, others have walked a lot. What makes me different is that I recorded everything I did and all the places I walked in the language of poetry.
In June, 2005, General Cui Jijun's second collection of poems, Flying Songs in the Desert, was officially published by PLA Literature and Art Publishing House. The preface of this poem was written by Liu Liyun, director of the PLA Literature and Art Publishing House. In the 5000-word preface, he wrote, "... as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Shenzhou VI launch, why is he a poet?" Also, as a rocket launching expert who needs careful thinking and calm judgment, he has both the nature of poetry and the temperament of a poet ... the most cutting-edge science and the most elite talents, as well as the most extraordinary imagination and artistic appeal. "
1972, 19-year-old Cui Jijun joined the army from Shandong and entered Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, becoming an operator in the launch test post. 1978 Graduated from National University of Defense Technology, majoring in automatic control of aircraft. He came down-to-earth step by step from being a soldier, monitor, technician, assistant engineer, engineer, senior engineer, director of technical office, chief engineer, stationmaster, deputy director and director.
A friend of the base told me that Lao Cui once told us that you should "live and work in peace and contentment and be down to earth". What he said is so good. In our place, as long as we can do this 14, will there be any other problems?
Looking back on the road taken by General Cui Jijun, director of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, "living with peace of mind and working hard" is a true portrayal of his footprint.
General Cui is very simple. There is a small vegetable field in front of his house. After several meals, I saw him working in the field in plain clothes. In fact, soldiers can do this small job for him. General Cui doesn't eat meat, which is related to his poor life when he was a child. He doesn't smoke or drink much. His material life is simple, but his spiritual life is full of poetry and painting.
General Cui is very diligent. Everyone says he has extraordinary energy. A friend who works with him said that you have to admire the serious attitude of the section chief. He is always the first to come to every meeting. I am younger than him, and sometimes I feel very tired, but every time I see him sitting in the office waiting for us, I feel ashamed.
General Cui is a respected Confucian general in the army. He devoted himself to space launch, striving for perfection and achieving fruitful results. He is also a talented border guard poet, who described the astronauts' mental journey and dedication in poetic language. His poems not only left his shining footprints, but also let more people know about the life of astronauts. Today, with the charming and feminine words flooding the Internet, General Cui's magnificent poems stand out, showing his military feelings like roaring arrows. Netizens like to recite his poems, so they love the aerospace industry and astronauts more. Today, when we vigorously carry forward the aerospace spirit, his poems have played an important role that those propaganda materials can't replace.
General Cui Jijun is one of countless space elites. These astronauts are flying the world-famous "Shenzhou" spacecraft as flawless as a picture, and they live poetically in their space posts.
Let's look for the life track of astronauts in Cui Jijun's new creation "Stepping through Dense Leaves";
On a sunny night,
I stepped on the leafy path,
It's like going through different seasons of life.
Chunming, or Qiushuo;
Cold in winter or hot in summer;
Pain, or happiness;
Smooth, or bumpy;
A string of loud notes,
Falling alternately on this road from time to time.
