A pure heart that beats for the motherland, believing, reciting, listening to danger, parents, and motherland
[Editor's Note] More than 100 years ago, the CPC was born at the time of national crisis. From that moment on, our party has shouldered the historical mission of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation without hesitation. From the revolutionary path of sacrificing oneself in blood, to the arduous wave of construction, from the magnificent reform and opening up to the path of forging ahead to become a strong country... In the river of history, each shining name reflects the perseverance and spirit of the Communist Party members.
Today, as we open their letters and touch these warm letters, we feel their perseverance and emotions for the Party, the country, and the people, and revisit those stories about faith.
Dad and Mom:
Hello everyone! It has been a week since I left Urumqi. As work has just begun and I am very busy, I haven't sent you any letters, which has made you anxious. The work area is the location of a gold mine mountain, where there are not only miners, but also the geological seventh and fourth teams, a comprehensive investigation team of the geophysical exploration team. Our car is speeding on a flat asphalt road, with an average speed of 90 kilometers per hour and some areas reaching up to 120 kilometers per hour, making it fly average. Because there is a vast desert and sand dune in the the Junggar Basin, which is desolate and sparsely populated. The work area is more than 60 kilometers northwest of Karamay, so it is not easy to go out. We plan to leave this place in early September and are not planning to fly back. We want to take a train and expect to arrive in Beijing in late September. Zhang Yan is also planning to go to Beijing in late September to get married. She is busy directing people to make furniture at home, and I don't have time to take care of these things. She took them all in one hand. Of course, with the help of her family, her younger brother has already graduated and returned to Changchun. She said she doesn't plan to make more furniture, as long as it's sufficient.
On August 3, 1984, Huang Danian wrote a letter to his parents in the wilderness of Xinjiang.
This is a letter written by a young student to his parents during his field geological work in Xinjiang in 1984 under the guidance of a supervisor from Changchun Institute of Geology. He later became a strategic scientist and a renowned geophysicist in China. He is Huang Danian.
On January 15, 1982, Huang Danian wrote in his graduation message to his classmates, "Revitalizing China is the responsibility of our generation.".
As early as his youth, Huang Danian set ambitious goals. He wrote in his undergraduate graduation gift book, "Revitalizing China is our responsibility.". During his postgraduate studies, he continued to cherish time like gold and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his beloved geological career.
A letter from home, only a few hundred words. The most talked about topic by Huang Danian is not family matters, but his geophysical work in Xinjiang. Even if it was a big marriage, he only used the phrase "get married together". In his heart, only national interests are the top priority.
In another letter to his parents, Huang Danian also wrote:
We usually take "Little Beijing" when we go out, and when we reach our destination, there is usually no way. There are hills made of rocks, and cars jump on them. Often, we don't know if the road ahead is clear, and we just rush forward. The phrase "there must be a way to get to the mountain by car" is perfectly appropriate here. There are no trees visible here, and the rocks are sharp. A pair of newly issued hiking shoes were bitten off in a few days. This treasure land used to be called the "place where demons reside", and the bones of dead horses, cows, and sheep can be seen everywhere on the wasteland, white and colorful, not surprising. There is a gold mining battle going on here, not only the geophysical exploration team, but several geological brigades are crowded in this area of over 600 square kilometers, with dense drilling and one hole every 50 meters, all using hydraulic presses. Despite the strong winds and scorching sun, each class was lined up with one or two female drilling workers who, like male comrades, were also very hardworking. The technical strength here is not too strong, and there are many elderly people. As soon as we, the university interns and graduate students from Changyuan, arrived, they were really impressed, but our relationship was very good.
On August 22, 1984, Huang Danian wrote a letter to his parents while conducting a scientific research project in Xinjiang.
Times are different, and ideals are inherited in one continuous line. Sincerity for the country is the ideal and belief pursued by Huang Danian throughout his life.
On April 10, 2011, Huang Danian was teaching to students.
In 2009, Huang Danian gave up his superior conditions abroad and returned to his motherland. He worked tirelessly to tackle key issues, fill multiple domestic technological gaps, and promote China's entry into the "deep earth era". In five years, he completed the 20-year journey of developed countries. He has trained 18 PhDs and 26 Masters, with a cross disciplinary team of over 400 people in various fields, laying a technical foundation and talent reserve for China's implementation of the Earth exploration plan.
Huang Danian is at the site of Continental Scientific Drilling Well 2 in the Songliao Basin.
On January 8, 2017, Huang Danian unfortunately passed away due to illness at the age of only 58. He devoted all his passion to his beloved motherland.
