Wang Wei, a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, was determined to serve the country since childhood. 1986, the air force flight school went to Huzhou to recruit pilots. 18 years old, took the pilot test without telling his parents. He spent four years in a flying academy in Changchun, Jilin Province, during which he worked hard and devoted himself to flying. He assiduously studied high-tech knowledge and flight technology, and achieved excellent results in every flight assessment.

Out of his love for flying, Wang Wei created many firsts. Among the students in the same period, he was the first to be the squad leader and district captain, the first to join the party, and the first to fly the most advanced domestic fighter plane 1000 hours, becoming an "all-weather" first-class pilot who can fly in four kinds of weather. He often undertakes major flying missions and has won many meritorious deeds and awards.

Later, Wang Wei was responsible for monitoring the US reconnaissance plane in the South China Sea. On the morning of April 38, 2006 1, as usual, he flew his beloved J-8 plane to the South China Sea for a mission. Unexpectedly, he will become the protagonist of an event that shocked the world. Wang Wei's J-8 plane and the EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane of the United States are flying normally nearby, which is 0/04 km away from Nanhai/KLOC-. Suddenly, EP-3 rushed to his fighter plane, and the propeller of the reconnaissance plane hit the tail wing of the J-8, which was seriously damaged.

Then EP-3 crashed into Wang Wei's fighter plane. The US reconnaissance plane was also damaged, even entering China's airspace without China's permission and landing at the China military airport. Zhao Yu, the pilot who flew with Wang Wei, later said that the tail of his fighter plane was blown "like a piece of paper" by the propeller of an American plane, and then began to roll and fall. However, Wang Wei's calm report still came from the plane: "Aircraft control failed!" He still wanted to make a final sprint for the rescue soldiers with his own flesh and blood, so Zhao Yu had to loudly order him to skydive immediately. Wang Wei's parachute opened in the air. After he fell into the sea, 654.38+ 10,000 soldiers and civilians searched for 654.38+04 days, but found no trace of him. It was later determined that he had been killed at the age of 33.

After the plane collision between China and the United States, the U.S. Department of Defense accused Wang Wei of being "bold" and "aggressive" in his usual surveillance of American aircraft flights. In fact, Wang Wei, who has flown more than 2,000 times, has never made any mistakes. The United States weaves various reasons to excuse and shirk its responsibilities, and delays in apologizing for the serious consequences caused by the illegal behavior of the aircraft. Even the pilots and crew of the EP-3 reconnaissance plane were rewarded and praised by the United States. Rumsfeld, then US Secretary of Defense, and Hilton, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, personally presented the so-called "medals" to the crew.

The American pilot who later crashed Wang Wei's fighter plane said in an interview that he had no responsibility at all and had no intention of repentance. Because of this, he became a "hero" and "idol" in the United States. With the support of the American people, he went into politics.
