The life of the character
"War makes women go away" seems to be a matter of course. Throughout the ages, the protagonist on the battlefield has always been a man, but Ji Yan, the first female doctor of military strategy in the whole army, stayed because of the "war". She said that her career gave her all her dreams. She studied war in order to stop it. In the field of war theory, the deeper she studies, the deeper her worries and the more she can't stop.
She affectionately compared her "occupation" to her "red dancing shoes" and "seriousness" to "red ribbon on dancing shoes", and frankly said that "the longer you jump on the stage, the deeper you plunge, and the red dancing shoes are given by eternal fate."
As the daughter of a janitor, Ji Yan has always been "closely linked with defending the country and building a strong army, so that I can dedicate my life to the air force for which my parents fought all my life.". It makes my ordinary life extraordinary, full of passion and creativity. "
Female doctor's strategic view of air and space
Ji Yan, who grew up in the air force compound, witnessed with her own eyes how her parents devoted their life's wisdom and passion to the cause of air force construction. When he was a teenager, he had an intuitive understanding and closeness to the word "air force". After joining the Air Force, Ji Yan's simple feelings for the Air Force gradually sublimated into a rational pursuit of mission.
"A country cannot be called a strong country without well-organized and well-equipped air power. Air power will be the decisive aspect of future international competition, both military and civilian. " Many years ago, Ji Yan was shocked by Mitchell, the pioneer of the Air Force. Times have changed. Today's air force is different from the Mitchell era, and a sense of urgency often oppresses Ji Yan.
Ji Yan once said that our generation of air force personnel shoulder the heavy responsibility of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and are also pioneers and pathfinders in the transformation and construction of the air force. They must have a strong sense of mission and hardship. Over the years, Ji Yan insisted on keeping his strategic research close to the forefront of air force construction and development, and hammered the mission with the heavy hammer of thought.
Ji Yan and several colleagues formed an observation team in the Kosovo War of 1999, the Afghan War of 200 1 and the Iraq War of 2003. During the war, they made strategic assessment and military analysis every week and wrote many research notes.
Ji Yan and his colleagues sensitively discovered the future trends hidden in the historical details of the war-early warning and detection, reconnaissance and surveillance, navigation and positioning, stealth attack and precision strike of the air-space battlefield have become the main battlefields of the information-based war, and the integration of aviation, aerospace and cyberspace is accelerating.
"The integration of air and space is not only a sign of the transformation of air combat form and air power, but also a sign of the transformation of the whole war form and military power form." Ji Yan came to his own conclusion. Based on this, she raised a series of questions: What does the prosperity of the country require of the air force? What role should the air force play in a strong army? What kind of air force should be built, how to build it, and with what attitude?
In 2003, Ji Yan began to write the monograph "Air and Space Confrontation". She believes that "the whole' blue' vertical space should be the' main battlefield' and' big stage' for the Air Force to carry out its mission, perform its tasks and show its elegance."
As a military scientific research worker, Ji Yan regards the mission and responsibility of air force personnel as the core essence of promoting air force construction and the spiritual horn leading all thoughts.
Ji Yan incorporated her love, loyalty and reverence for the Air Force into her thoughts. She took the lead in the study of service culture in the Air Force and creatively raised the mission and responsibility of the Air Force and the values and responsibilities of air force personnel to the category of service culture.
The Research Report on the Transformation of Cultural Construction written by her looks more like the cry of her mission: "Blue sky culture", with "loving, aiming at and defending the blue sky" as its basic feature and taking responsibility to the party, courage and tenacity, determination and unity as its basic connotation.
A number of topics and papers, such as Research on Air Force's Strategic Application Mode in the New Century and New Stage, The Rise of Great Powers and the Mission of the People's Air Force, and The Great Duty from Heaven: The Strategic Choice of Great Powers' Air Force, which Ji Yan completed or participated in, were all incorporated into the think tank of Air Force's strategic thinking with a strong sense of mission.
This woman doctor used to be a nurse.
When he was young, Ji Yan had his own life plan. After graduating from high school, her father, who was then the commander of an aviation division, advised her to become a soldier. She didn't listen and went to the countryside for re-education without telling her family.
Ji Yan did well and was recommended as a commune cadre, but she gave up and wanted to study.
1February, 976, recommended by the village, Ji Yan joined the army and became a medic in jinan military area command Logistics Department 148 Hospital. Two years later, she was admitted to the Health School with the first place in jinan military area command.
Ji Yan's professional level is the best in the hospital. She often wins the first prize in competitions, but nursing is not her dream. My sister Ji told reporters that in order to get into college, she studied day and night.
1989, Ji Yan passed the self-study exam and was admitted to the Air Force Political College as a postgraduate in philosophy. After obtaining a master's degree, she went to the Strategy Teaching and Research Section of the Air Force Command College as an ordinary teacher.
That's when people saw such a Ji Yan: She came to the office with a big bag on her back before 7 o'clock every morning. My colleague who got off work a little late at night hasn't left yet. After dinner, Ji Yan came back with a big bag on his back. Soon after, Ji Yan became one of the few teachers on the podium of the Air Force Command College who often won applause from students.
In order to realize his dream of becoming a strategic thinker, after many efforts, Ji Yan was finally admitted to the Doctorate of the Academy of Military Sciences at the age of 4 1, which was the longest application time. Since then, she has devoted herself to research in the field of military strategy.
In order to concentrate on completing the doctoral thesis, Ji Yan decided to stay in the dormitory for a few more days during the 200 1 winter vacation. However, the college has regulations that all students must leave school during the holiday, and all classrooms and dormitories should be locked and sealed. Ji Yan secretly locked himself in the house, and successfully escaped the siege of the school leaders. With several boxes of instant noodles, Ji Yan stayed in the dormitory for more than 10 days. He didn't call the team cadres until he finished the examination paper and asked them to open the door and let himself out.
In this book "On Common Security", Ji Yan wrote down his thoughts on strategy and his understanding of his career. In the bold and unrestrained pen, she once again realized the beauty of wearing "red dancing shoes" and her thoughts spinning and dancing rapidly.
"On Common Security" was rated as an excellent doctoral thesis of the Academy of Military Sciences in that year, and was well received by tutors and experts from the National Defense Commission. That is to say, at the end of the paper, Ji Yan suddenly realized that he had no choice but to leave the "war" for the rest of his life and gain a sense of intellectual satisfaction.
"Strategic research-observing all the history and reality in the military field from a overlooking perspective, paying attention to all the changes in technology and tactics, predicting the future and pointing out the situation." Ji Yan soon fell in love with this job. She began to re-read the era swept by the wave of information with a strategic eye, and thought at an unprecedented height and depth. Worry, passion, hope and various emotions are intertwined in her heart, and she feels that the mission on her shoulders is so heavy.
If you are not a fish, how can you know the happiness of fish?
"Reading is a beneficial way of life" and "Reading is a kind of self-enjoyment". This is the prelude to Ji Yan's last class in his life, and the time is May 7th, 2009.
In this class of "Talking about Reading", Ji Yan said, "A strategist's thinking does not have to follow the historical trend, but should predict the evolving trend."
Ji Yan is a person who loves learning. From the day she became a teacher, 1978 held a "reading class". Ji Yan hopes to pass on what he has learned to his students without reservation.
After "reading aimlessly", Ji Yan suddenly received a phone call from the department head, ordering her to be hospitalized immediately. At that moment, she suddenly realized that she was "destiny takes a hand".
In the Air Force Command Academy, Ji Yan's work and rest have always been arranged according to the work progress and thinking rhythm, because it takes too much time to eat in the canteen. When he is hungry, he often buys a bag of instant noodles or two cakes to solve the problem. She threw a set of bedding in the office like a male colleague. When she was late for work, she laid the sofa horizontally, fell asleep in the office and woke up to continue her work.
The busy career came to an abrupt end. Lying in a hospital bed, Ji Yan's weak body only accounts for half of a single hospital bed, with various tubes inserted in her body, and began to take medicine and infusion day after day.
Facing the challenge of natural forces, every life is particularly fragile and helpless. However, Ji Yan said, "Although the magic of nature is powerful and irresistible, fate still reserves an exploration' mind' for life." She kept a diary of her illness and named it "Adventure".
In his diary, Ji Yan said frankly that in the face of pressure, he retreated, but fortunately he persisted; After being sentenced to death, she was still "grateful for this career that accelerated me to the end of my life"; In the face of someone saying that she was "stupid and tired to death from work", she used a sentence "Children are not fish, how do you know the happiness of fish?"
In Ji Yan's eyes, giving is more important than getting, and the process is more important than the result. Therefore, when she says goodbye to this world, she will calmly say, "I am really happy!" " "
Ji Yan compared himself to "a crane with beautiful feathers" and "crying and singing". She proudly declared: "My career has given me all the glory, which has turned me into an ugly duckling with no surprising appearance and no heavy body, which will not be seen in any group of people."
appendix
On my deathbed, the leaders of the air force organs and colleges who came to visit spoke highly of Ji Yan's research achievements, but she wrote in Expedition: "If God gives me more time, the unfinished research projects will continue."
Go out and go to the vast sea of books.
There is a "Ji Yan Military Book Counter" in the Key Subject Literature Center of the Library of the Air Force Command College, which collects 1356 military books before her death, of which more than 600 books are unique treasures of the college library.
Seven days before his death, Ji Yan wrote to the college leaders: "Donating military books to the library is my last contribution to the college."
Open the thick "War and Strategy" on the bookshelf, the crease is still there, and the horizontal line drawn by the pencil is still there. Professor Guo Jinsuo, who is in charge of sorting out books, said that every book is full of notes, marked with dense points and experiences! These books are only part of Ji Yan's reading. She also has many books on literature, language and other tools, and countless books borrowed from the library.
Ji Yan is gone, but in everyone's mind, she seems to be still in the teaching and research post, silently imparting knowledge to students and inheriting the spirit.
"She has been looking for opportunities to study and research all her life." Ji's sister is both proud and sorry for this 17-year-old educated youth who went to the countryside.
Comrades clearly remember that until the day before she was diagnosed as terminally ill, she gave a big lesson to the hospital staff with passion-"Talking about Reading".
The 20-year teaching career begins at the podium and ends at the podium. But for the last lesson before his death, Ji Yan wrote in Expedition: "If I can predict that this is the farewell of my career, I will go all out and do my best."
The power beyond the horizon comes from the boundless sea of books.
The vast sea of books has nurtured Ji Yan. From educated youth in rural areas, female soldiers and nurses, to master of philosophy, doctor of military strategy, and military theory expert of the Air Force, Ji Yan has made life leaps again and again.
Extensive knowledge was passed on to future generations. Ji Yan read widely, prepared lessons carefully, taught with novel ideas, a large amount of information and a wide range of knowledge. Her class has become one of the most popular courses for students of the Air Force Command College.
In order to help you open a window to learn about foreign troops, Ji Yan translated the Rules of the US Air Force, sorted out more than 700,000 words of manuscripts, and faced obscure and boring technical terms and military terms.
Chen Wenfeng, the first graduate student of Ji Yan's belt, saw that the teacher had made great efforts to revise the paper, and when the article was published, he was going to put the tutor's name on it. Ji Yan resolutely removed his name.
Only when you have no distractions can you swim in the sea of books; Only when you have no distractions can you Hui Ze others.
She wrote in "Expedition": "My career has given me all the glory. Once I enter the working state, I will be glorious."
