19 18, Qiyao Wu was born in a gentry family in Wudu, Minqing County, ranking 10th. His father Wu attaches great importance to education, and all his children have received higher education. At first, his ideal was to be a teacher. 1936, Qiyao Wu studied in Qingdao Normal University. However, a notice on the street about the enrollment of the Central Aviation School of Huangpu Military Academy has completely changed his fate. He hurried back to Fujian, hoping that his father would approve him to join the army. "He just wants to kill the enemy to serve the country and recapture the three northeastern provinces." Without waiting for his father's reply, he resolutely dropped out of normal university. 1941June 22nd was the most difficult year for China Air Force. Qiyao Wu was at Chengdu Airport at that time. When enemy planes attacked, Qiyao Wu and captain Hong Yangfu * * * drove six trainer planes with no fighting capacity and immediately took off and evacuated to Guangyuan. Passing through the happy forest area of Minjiang River, they and four Japanese kamikaze fighters (? There should be a mistake here. There is no such plane in Japan. At a height of 40 meters from the river, Qiyao Wu was hit by a Japanese plane and fell into the water. He suffered multiple injuries to his hip and leg and was detained in the water by the plane. Worried that the China pilot was not dead, the Japanese plane dived again and dropped a string of bombs.

Qiyao Wu was shot four times in the ass. If it hadn't been blocked by the metal of the plane, the bullet would have passed through his body. He was injured and fainted in the water. It was fellow villagers who rowed to save Hong Yangfu and Qiyao Wu from drowning. Qiyao Wu still remembers that because the plane engine caught fire, the plane burned red, and the nearby river was very hot, and several people who saved him were burned.

Qiyao Wu stayed in Guangyuan for more than a year and returned to the army after being injured. 1942, the national government issued the second-class and third-class disabled soldiers' certificates to Qiyao Wu. However, Qiyao Wu asked his relatives to issue false certificates to prove that he could return to the blue sky and fight against the Japanese invaders. At his repeated strong demands, the troops carefully examined him and let him fly again. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has entered the most difficult years. Starting from 1942, China Air Force added a number of American fighters and bombers. 1in the spring of 943, Qiyao Wu attacked the Japanese army in Xiangtan with an American P-40 plane. He was hit by Japanese anti-aircraft fire, and the fuselage and wings of the plane were hit by more than 20 bullets. Qiyao Wu just crossed the layers of anti-aircraft guns of the Japanese aggressors and staggered the plane back to Zhijiang Airport. When he got off the plane, American pilots all extended their right thumbs to praise him: "Our American planes are excellent, and your pilots in China are even better. The plane was beaten into a hornet's nest and could still stagger back. Awesome! "

1945, the Japanese invaders suffered heavy losses. From July of 1943, the China Air Force and the United States 14 Air Force took the initiative to find the main force of the Japanese Air Force to fight a decisive battle, and also carried out long-distance raids, bombing and destroying Japanese airports, equipment and other important targets on a large scale. That is, since then, Qiyao Wu and his comrades-in-arms have repeatedly bombed Japanese military targets such as Wuhan, Nanjing, Guangzhou and Guilin occupied by Japan in large formations.

On April 1945 and 12, during the attack on Japanese ground troops at Wuchang Railway Station, his fighter engine was hit and failed, and landed on the beach of a stream in Chenxi County, more than 20 kilometers away from Zhijiang/KLOC-0. Fortunately, he met the villagers after he went ashore. At that time, the villagers were poor, but they still took out the bacon left over from the Chinese New Year and gave it to Qiyao Wu. The villagers all said that he was "falling from the sky" and was a god. The villagers in Siliba Township lined up to touch him. He lives in a small home of a local landlord who is resolutely anti-Japanese. Xiao gave a banquet to entertain the anti-Japanese hero every day, and even invited his son who was studying at Hunan University to chat with him. 1945 On September 9th, the signing ceremony of Japanese surrender in China Theater was held in the Auditorium of the Central Military Academy of Nanjing National Government. As the detachment leader of the 5th Brigade of the US Armed Forces in China 14 Air Force, Qiyao Wu led all his team members to sit in the first row of the meeting. Qiyao Wu recalled that the Japanese surrender ceremony was attended by military representatives and military attaché s from the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union, Canada, the Netherlands and Australia, as well as nearly 1,000 Chinese and foreign journalists, honor guards and security guards outside the museum.

At 8: 52, five people, including Chiang Kai-shek's special representative, General Commander of the Chinese Army, Commander Gu of the 3rd Theater, Chief of Staff Xiao Yisu of the Army, Commander Chen Shaokuan of the Navy and Commander Zhang of the Air Force 1 Army, entered the venue and took their seats. At 8: 57, General Okamura Ningji, the Japanese surrender representative in China Theater and commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatching Army, took off his hats and walked into the meeting from the main entrance, led by seven people, including Chief of Staff Kobayashi Asazo, Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Beowulf Imai, Commander of the China Dispatching Fleet Lieutenant General Fukuda Ryozaki and Chief of Staff of the Taiwan Army. Okamura Ningji took off his sword and gave it to He with Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's hand to show that the Japanese invaders formally surrendered to China. It's exactly 9 o'clock at this time. Then, Okamura Ningji signed the surrender.

The surrender ceremony lasted about 20 minutes. Qiyao Wu said: "The essence of these 20 minutes has run through my life, influenced my life and sublimated my life."

I asked, "What is the essence?" Qiyao Wu replied: "The Chinese nation is invincible. The power of justice is eternal. "

I only interviewed three people who witnessed the Japanese surrender ceremony. They are 84-year-old Nanjing Wang Chuying, 88-year-old Hong Kong Lin Yushui and 90-year-old Hangzhou Qiyao Wu. During the 15 years when Japan invaded China, more than 30 million people were killed or injured. However, few people witnessed the Japanese surrender.

The surrender ceremony lasted about 20 minutes, which was really the most brilliant moment in Qiyao Wu's life.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Qiyao Wu was awarded the "Flying Excellence Cross" by the Allied Headquarters, and was also awarded the "Aviation Medal" and "Unit Collective Medal of Honor". During the period of 1948, Qiyao Wu was the first among more than 3,000 aircrew members to enter the aviation branch of the United States Military Academy at West Point, and went to Taiwan Province Province after further study. 1949, has been a lieutenant colonel in Taiwan Province province. His father quietly sent a letter from his comrade-in-arms' brother, Mr. Li, the manager of Hong Kong Taifeng Company:

"I hope you come back! Fallen leaves return to their roots! The failure of the Kuomintang in Taiwan Province Province was entirely due to corruption! I support your brothers to participate in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression; Today, I hope you will return to the mainland and follow the rising sun! Follow the * * * production party! Build our new China! "

Qiyao Wu said, I was scared out in a cold sweat. If this letter is seen by others, will I still be alive? At that time, the air force plane in Taiwan Province province only added a little fuel, which lasted for about 30 minutes, so it was impossible to fly back to the mainland.

Qiyao Wu recalled that one day, my classmate at West Point Military Academy, Major John of the US Air Force, led his bomber troops to land at Taipei Airport. Here comes the opportunity. I told John that I wanted to go to Hong Kong. John said, come on, I'll take you there. I got on his plane. At that time, all airports in Taiwan Province Province were heavily guarded. The Kuomintang army ignored the take-off and landing inspection of American pilots. In this way, Qiyao Wu went to Hongkong first and found the uprising of the * * * production party organization. 1February 1949, 1949 went to Beijing again and served as an instructor in nanyuan airport, China People's Liberation Army Air Force. Although he works at the airport, Qiyao Wu is forbidden to get close to the plane because of the former teacher of the Flying Tigers! Qiyao Wu's son, Wu Yuan, once told China Newsweek: "He felt a strong distrust and offered to quit the army." Qiyao Wu's son Wu Yuan took out his father's diary 1952. On the title page are three planes drawn by his father in pencil. In his diary, Qiyao Wu drew the symbol of the fifth brigade of the American Flying Tigers and wrote three small words: "Everything is over!" 1950 left the flight and went to teach at Zhijiang University in Zhejiang. There, he met his later wife, Ms. Qiu.

Later, his comrades-in-arms said that on the second day of Qiyao Wu's flight to Hong Kong, he conveyed the army's wanted order: "Whoever sees Qiyao Wu will kill him!" -Qiyao Wu will only stay in Hong Kong for six days. If he stays in Hong Kong for a few more days, "the unidentified suicide floating body in the bay may be him."

His father, Wu, was just liberated at that time, because he and his fourth brother were both Kuomintang officers and were shot.

Qiyao Wu said: "My father taught me to love my motherland since I was a child. I devoted myself to the great War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression just to listen to his teachings. It can be said that my blood is reserved for the motherland. " /kloc-in the winter of 0/950, the counter-insurgency movement began. Qiyao Wu failed to escape the robbery. Three years later, because of the failure of the political trial, he began his prison career for twenty years. Qiyao Wu escaped the Cultural Revolution in prison.

1974, Qiyao Wu, who was released from prison, couldn't find a job, so he pedaled a tricycle in Hangqingbo Knitted Gloves Factory. This push is six years, 365 days a year without rest days, a car loading and unloading 600 kg, a day to earn 1 yuan 2 cents. At that time, he and his wife Qiu took their two sons to rent in a small house of 12 square meters, and the rent was 3.30 yuan per month.

Because riding a tricycle consumes a lot of energy, he has to eat more than a catty of vegetables at a meal. There are only three famous steamed stuffed buns in Hangzhou, and Qiyao Wu and his son should eat at least two catties and sixty steamed stuffed buns. They were afraid that eating 60 buns at a time would scare the diners next to them, so they went to three restaurants in succession. In this way, after drinking 9 bowls of soup for nothing, others look much more elegant.

1980, Qiyao Wu regained his political reputation. After rehabilitation, Qiyao Wu was assigned to work as a taxidermist in the Department of Geology and Mineral Resources of Hangzhou University (later merged into Zhejiang University) because of his preference for fossils and English background when the farm was mining.

In 2005, Qiyao Wu suffered a stroke.

On the 60th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, he was remembered by more people. "In September 2005, after I attended the opening ceremony of the US Air Force Flight Memorial Hall in Zhijiang, Hunan, Deputy Secretary Wang and Minister Sun of Zhejiang University came to my home on behalf of the party and the government, and presented me with the commemorative medallion of the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission commemorating the 60th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory. This medal is a milestone in my life. It declares to the world: I, Qiyao Wu, sacrificed my blood for the motherland in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression-there was no vain flow! "

Qiyao Wu, who is 90 years old, is most happy to recite General Secretary Hu Jintao's speech at the 60th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory in 2005: "1The July 7th Incident in 937 became the outbreak point of the world anti-fascist war in the East, and China's national war of resistance opened the world's first large-scale anti-fascist battlefield. The sons and daughters of China are United, and all parties, ethnic groups, classes, strata and groups are United as one enemy, and * * * went to the national disaster together. Inside and outside the Great Wall, north and south of the great river, anti-Japanese bonfires are lit everywhere. In the magnificent War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression of the whole nation, the anti-Japanese army led by the Kuomintang of China and the Chinese Production Party undertook the combat tasks of the frontal battlefield and the enemy's rear battlefield respectively, forming a strategic situation against the Japanese aggressors.
