The industrial base of old China was too weak. At the 30th meeting of the Central People's Government Committee, Mao Zedong said: What should we build? You can't even build a car except tables and chairs. 1953, the country began its first five-year plan and determined the industrialization process centered on 156 major industrial projects. 1956 July 13, steam
The first car was born two days before the third anniversary of the garage. From this day on, the history that China couldn't make cars ended, and our own cars drove out of here day by day.
No.1 Automobile Factory, which produces the first car in New China, is called the eldest son of Hehuo Industry. The giant of the new China industry in the future stood up from the ruins of the bacteria factory left by the Japanese invasion of China. In such a place, the significance of building the first row of national industrial factories in New China lies not only in the industrial production itself, but also in the monument of national self-improvement and dignity. On July 5th, 1953, the foundation stone was laid for the First Automobile Factory. The cornerstone was inscribed by Chairman Mao. Since then, New China has its own automobile industry. So, what is the appropriate product brand name? The leader of a machine department discussed it for a long time. Some of them call it "progress", some call it "victory" and some call it "liberation". These names were written into a report, which was specially given to Chairman Mao. At that time, Chairman Mao read the report, thought for a while and said, "Let's call it liberation. Then he took a pen and drew a circle on the word "liberation".
Feng Ru.
China's pioneer in aircraft manufacturing.
Feng Ru was born in a poor peasant family in Guangdong, and his four brothers died one after another. Life is getting worse and worse. Feng Rucai went abroad to make a living. In the United States, this 26-year-old young man from China, with his tenacious struggle and hard study, created a miracle, designed and manufactured the first plane of China people alone, and its performance was one of the best at that time, which won aviation for China people and turned the first page of aviation history in China.
At that time, Feng Ru was just in his early twenties. Although he lives in the United States on the other side of the ocean, he always cares about the situation of his motherland. At that time, Japan and Russia were engaged in a Russo-Japanese war, but the battlefield was in the northeast of China, and the victims were the Japanese people. Feng Ru's heart is very heavy. The news published in the newspaper and broadcast on the radio deeply hurt Feng Ru's heart. He said to his companion; "The Russo-Japanese War, regardless of the outcome, is extremely unfavorable to our China. The powers want to carve up China. If we have a plane and military strength, will the invaders dare to bully us? " Of course, Feng Ru's ideas may not be comprehensive. Without overthrowing the feudal dynasty and making the people of China truly masters of their own country, China will not be rich and strong. However, as a young man wandering in a foreign country, it is still very valuable to have such a patriotic heart in the late Qing Dynasty!
But building a plane is not a small plane made of paper after all. First of all, he moved from new york to San Francisco, where overseas Chinese are concentrated, and put forward the slogan of "national power will dominate and safeguard interests" to raise funds among overseas Chinese. Overseas travelers, you donated 1 1 USD, I donated $20, and soon raised 1000 USD to set up an aircraft manufacturing company.
Feng Ru was ingenious since he was a child. While working, he bought books and studied technology. He worked as a water pump, a pile driver and a wireless telegraph ...
Feng Ru found three young overseas Chinese, rented a factory and started working.
Test, fail, try again, fail again ... Feng Ru almost fell to his death for the test flight. At this time, all he heard was "advice" to persuade him to stop the experiment. On the one hand, he thanked others for their concern, on the other hand, he persisted. His parents wrote to him asking him to return to China. He said, "I will never go back to China until I can build a plane."
Many things happen. After three years of hard work, we finally got the result. On September 2 1909, Feng Ru's plane will soar in the sky of Oakland. Feng Ru is very nervous whether he can succeed or not, and many people are supporting him with sticks. Many people gathered here, even journalists came here.
Ah! Take off, 100 meters, 200 meters. The plane flew 8 10 meter, which is more than three times the flight distance of the plane made by the American Wright brothers, the inventor of the plane. When the Wright brothers made their first test flight in 1903, the voyage was only 260 meters. The successful test flight of Feng Ru plane caused a sensation in the world. An American newspaper published an article entitled "China People's Aviation Technology Surpasses the West", reported the test flight process, and introduced in detail the performance and characteristics of the aircraft made in Feng Ru. This incident shows that China people are neither stupid nor incompetent. Feng Ru turned the first page of China aviation history with his three-year efforts. At that time, he was only 26 years old.
Feng Ru's success has greatly increased the ambition of China people, and overseas Chinese living in the United States are also greatly encouraged. They responded to Feng Ru's initiative and invested in succession. With the joint efforts of everyone, the first aircraft manufacturing company in China was established in the United States. Feng Ru is the chief mechanic. This is both a gratifying thing and a strong irony. The first aircraft manufacturing company in China was actually established in the United States, not in China.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen knows that Feng Ru has built a better plane. At that time, Mr. Sun was organizing revolutionary activities in the United States. Seeing Feng Ru's test flight performance, he was very happy and sighed: "We have a lot of talents in China!"
Feng Ru was praised by the great revolutionary Sun Yat-sen and supported by overseas Chinese, so his momentum doubled. Soon. He built a more perfect plane. He personally flew the new plane for 32 kilometers, with a speed of 40 kilometers per hour and an altitude of 2 10 meters, which was a new world record at that time. Feng Ru won the first place in the flight competition conference organized by the International Aviation Association, and won the honor for China again.
Feng Ru buried himself in aircraft manufacturing with the sole purpose of serving the motherland. At that time, his name spread all over Europe and America, and many countries and enterprises hired Feng Ru to teach flying technology and guide aircraft manufacturing. But Feng Ru refused, saying, "I didn't build the plane for personal fame and fortune, just for the prosperity of the motherland." This is not the ideal of Feng Ru alone, but the ideal shared by the outstanding China people of that generation. Although the motherland was still so poor and backward at that time, it was hard to change the patriotism of a pure child.
19 1 1 In March, 2008, Feng Ru went through all kinds of hardships and brought back two planes made by himself and the machines for making them to Guangzhou. He came back and was welcomed by people. He wants to realize his long-cherished wish and contribute to the development of aviation in China.
However, he is facing the poor and backward motherland, the United States far across the Pacific Ocean. The sharp contrast did not weaken Feng Ru's "love for the motherland". On the contrary, he devoted himself to propaganda and enlightenment with stronger love. At that time, many people in China knew nothing about aviation technology and urgently needed to popularize aviation knowledge. Feng Ru used every opportunity to tirelessly publicize aviation knowledge, and he was not discouraged by the backwardness of his compatriots; I don't change my mind because of my white eyes and indifference. In order to attract people's attention and mobilize people from all walks of life to make a contribution to the plane, Feng Ru decided to fly the plane himself for an air show.
At that time, the decadent Qing Dynasty had been overthrown, and the establishment of the Republic of China brought hope to the people of China who were in dire straits. Feng Ru is one of many people who are determined to contribute their wisdom to the new country. The air show was held on August 25th in Tang Yan Playground in the suburb of Guangzhou. The news was overwhelming, and many people came from afar to see planes they had never seen before. In many people's minds, this is simply a "magic machine", because people can fly, and only in myths have they heard of it. The playground was crowded with people and the nearby roads were blocked. People still come here.
Ah! The plane took off and many people could hardly believe their eyes. I saw this man-made "big bird" soaring in the blue sky, reaching a height of 37 meters, flying smoothly to the southeast for 2 kilometers, rotating flexibly and freely, and the audience on the land gave bursts of cheers and applause. This is not just the take-off of the plane, but a sign that the Chinese nation has begun to take off!
However, just as the plane was rising, Feng Ru pushed too hard, and his foot didn't step firmly, so the plane suddenly fell down. Unfortunately, when the doctor arrived, Feng Ru was dying in a pool of blood. The last sentence he left was: "Don't be sad ... You must not lose your initiative because of my death!" " At the age of 29, he closed his eyes.
Feng Jia's life is short. Unfortunately, the suffering Chinese nation has not taken off, and the people of China still have a long way to go on the road to liberation and prosperity. Facts have proved; Only when the people of China truly become the masters of their own destiny can the Chinese nation really take off, and China's aviation industry can hope to develop and catch up with and surpass the world level.
