　　　　CCTV News: The first report meeting of the report group on heroic deeds of earthquake relief was held in the Great Hall of the People at 9: 30 this morning. In his report, Zhang Xiaofeng, political commissar of an aviation regiment in Chengdu Military Region, introduced the whole process of the helicopter crash driven by Qiu Guanghua. Zhang Xiaofeng revealed that Qiu Guanghua was supposed to be in charge of the ground command in this disaster relief, but he took the initiative to take part in the flight, and it was only half a year before he was grounded.

　　　　Zhang Xiaofeng introduced that the air route from Chengdu to Lixian was called "death route" by pilots. On this route, although we saved the day again and again and turned the "death route" into a "life channel", unfortunately it still happened. On the afternoon of May 31, Qiu Guanghua’s unit was ordered to transport health and epidemic prevention experts to Lixian. On the way back, near Yingxiu, Wenchuan County, I was caught in a low cloud, fog and strong airflow, and unfortunately crashed at 14: 56. Captain Qiu Guanghua, co-pilot Li Yue, mechanics Wang Huaiyuan, Chen Lin, petty officer Zhang Peng and 14 passengers are missing.

　　　　Zhang Xiaofeng said that Qiu Guanghua’s crew had made two flights that morning. Considering that famous experts were being transported, the regiment decided that Qiu Guanghua’s crew would carry out this mission. At that time, it was lunch time. Qiu Guanghua and the crew ate two meals in a hurry and flew to Lixian. This is their 64th disaster relief mission. About half an hour after returning from Lixian, the helicopter entered Ginkgo to Yingxiu. The mountains here are high and the valleys are deep. In some places, the gap between the two mountains is less than 300 meters.

　　　　Zhang Xiaofeng recalled that in the mountains in the afternoon, the weather changed rapidly. Shortly after the helicopter entered the valley, a large area of thick clouds and dense fog suddenly appeared, which covered the narrow passage. "Don’t move, look at the course!" This is the last sound left by Qiu Guanghua, and then it disappeared from the communication signal and disappeared from the sight of his comrades …

　　　　Zhang Xiaofeng said that Captain Qiu Guanghua, a 51-year-old first-generation minority pilot of the China Army, is the oldest and most experienced special pilot of the Army Aviation Corps and has flown safely for more than 5,800 hours. In this disaster relief, the regiment originally arranged for him to be in charge of the ground command, but he took the initiative to fight and insisted on taking part in the flight. At this time, it was only half a year before he was grounded.

　　　　Wang Huaiyuan is the best aerial mechanic in the regiment. Everyone likes to fly with him. Not long ago, he promised to take his brother with a disabled leg to Chengdu for treatment after the disaster relief mission was completed. Both Chen Lin and Li Yue are under 30 years old this year. Chen Lin’s daughter just finished her first birthday and couldn’t send a cake on her first birthday because she participated in disaster relief. Li Yue just got married during the Spring Festival this year, and her newly-married lover is waiting for his safe message every day during the disaster relief. Sergeant Zhang Peng submitted an application for joining the Party during the disaster relief period. Before the mission, he called his mother to tell his family not to worry about him.

　　　　Zhang Xiaofeng said that although five comrades-in-arms left, their heroic feats are inspiring the officers and men of the whole regiment to fight hard in the front line of earthquake relief. As of June 5, 1,799 emergency flights have been made, 1,121 wounded people have been successfully transported, 615 tons of urgently needed materials have been transported, and 2,171 trapped people have been transported, ensuring that the heads of the Central Committee and the Military Commission have inspected the disaster areas for 16 times, creating a record of super-intensity and super-meteorological flights in the history of Chinese military aviation.

　　　　Zhang Xiaofeng expressed his determination to follow the example of brave and fearless comrades-in-arms, live up to the great trust of the Party and the people, live up to the high hopes of the people in the disaster areas, and continue to fly with his life in order to win an all-round victory in earthquake relief!
