[The hit movie "Captain China" in the National Day file has exceeded 600 million at the box office within three days of its release. This film is adapted from Sichuan Airlines flight 3U8633 on May 14, 2018. What does the worker think? ]

(Zhang Zhonglin, columnist of the article/Observer Network)

was a primary school student that night 21 years ago, and I was immersed in my homework. The sound of airplanes coming from outside the window has long been accustomed to, but unlike usual, this time the sound of airplanes has been lingering overhead. The phone at home rang, and my father hung up in just a few words after answering, ready to go out. From the conversation between my father and mother, I vaguely knew that something went wrong with my father’s work, which seemed to be related to the plane. In the third grade, I couldn't help but wonder if this has something to do with the plane that keeps circling in the sky? It is unclear what time my father will return that night, because I have fallen asleep. After I came to the school, I learned that there was an accident with an airplane yesterday. When I went home at night, I saw the news on the news that the airplane had a flaring landing on the runway before I knew what had happened and what my father had gone to do last night.

Two years later, when "Emergency Landing" was released, the school organized a viewing. When the morning exercises gathered at the school the next day, a classmate from the next class took the stage to give a speech. It turned out that his father was the co-pilot on China Eastern Airlines 586 (the prototype of the emergency landing). Even after nearly 20 years, I still remember what he said: "... very late that night, my father came back suddenly, and he should be back a few days later. After he got home, my father looked very tired and asked him whether Say..." In the same school, the fathers of two different children, one in the sky and the other on the ground, worked together for hundreds of lives on the plane.

Eighteen years later, the primary school was born as a civil aviation person, working on the front line of ensuring flights. On May 14, 2018, I clearly remembered this day. When I got up at noon to go to the night shift, I turned on the phone and found that the screen was swiped by news-Sichuan Airlines 8633, windshield off, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Needless to say, years of experience have told me how dangerous this accident is. Fortunately, I learned that the plane had already landed safely when I learned of this incident, so I didn't have to experience the worry. However, when I saw the photo of the cockpit after landing, my heart was still gripped-it was a miracle that I could land in this way. The editor called

​​and asked me to write something on Sichuan Airlines 8633. I agreed. However, I was leaving for work at the time. If I waited for the next day to go home from get off work and then write, it would obviously be too late. So I made a decision that still seems a bit crazy: writing on my mobile phone during commuting to work-no need to analyze the cause of the accident, just a few keywords have outlined the whole picture; no need to study how difficult the operation is, it is a mess The cockpit photos are enough to explain everything. The curve of the flight altitude on the FR24 and the topographical map below the route are enough to illustrate the pilot's dilemma-landing is a miracle. On the bus, on the subway, on the airport bus, holding a mobile phone with ten fingers like flying vocabulary-don't say anything, just blow!

The previous two-hour commute was so long, but now it feels so short-give me some more time and I will finish writing! Finally, when the bus stopped at Pudong Airport Terminal 2, I finished writing the article and sent it to the editor. Writing an article on my mobile phone in two hours is the first and only time in my long or short career in civil aviation column writing. The follow-up events of

are naturally known to everyone: overwhelming interviews and reports, winning the title of hero crew, being received by the general secretary, and shooting of "Chinese Captain". And I also face problems such as job transfer, new unit entry, contact with new fields, etc., and I am very busy. Thanks to a party secretary in the circle of friends who has been updating relevant content in the circle of friends, so that I can understand the progress of the filming and the release time.

Originally planned to watch "Captain of China" when it was screened in Shanghai on September 26. However, due to the heavy security task for the 70th anniversary of the National Day, we had to give up and had to buy tickets for the September 30 movie. However, on September 30, a new urgent task suddenly arrived just before the end of get off work, and I had to explain to my wife a little bit about the unexpected task of post-processing. Finally, when my wife and I walked out of the cinema, it was already October 1, and I was already in tears.

​​excludes some technical flaws in the movie and the added scenes for movie effects, if youAsk a civil aviation person how it feels to watch "Captain China", it must be resonance. In the quiet early morning, the crew members have gotten up and kissed their sleeping daughter goodbye to the airport; at 3:30 in the morning, the crew members have arrived at the base to sign in; the video and teleconference report today’s weather conditions, dispatch and make flight plans, and pilots undergo medical examinations and alcohol Inspection and pre-flight preparation meeting.

While the entire city was still asleep, the airport was already brightly lit and was operating at full capacity. In the bustling lobby, the check-in staff gave passengers on the first flight a boarding pass to check their luggage, and the security check shouted "Please cell phone , Computers, and power banks provide passengers with security checks, orderly baggage sorters, fuel tankers to refuel the aircraft, check the aircraft maintenance, and send flight information to the crew.

The huge machine of civil aviation consists of countless parts, but only a few "star" posts are known. Every civil aviation person will encounter the question "Are you a pilot/maintainer/ATC?" A detailed explanation will only lead to more questions and puzzles, and can only pass by with a bitter smile. The "Captain of China" panoramic view of flight preparation procedures allows those civil aviation personnel who are fighting in different positions to see their positions and jobs on the screen for the first time, and they can point to the screen and proudly say "Dad/ Mom does this job."

And the ups and downs of the civil aviation people shown in the movie are even more sympathetic. When the flight attendant who was about to get married said to the flight attendant played by Yuan Quan, "Sister, I really envy you for a win-win career and family," Yuan Quan said with a bitter smile that is not easily detectable.

looks to outsiders as beautiful, good-tempered and high-income flight attendants. They are well-deserved daughters of heaven. However, how many people know the bitterness behind them. Less gathering and more separation, unstable work and rest time, long-term high-altitude flight to the body. It is not easy to achieve success in career, and it is even more difficult to reconcile career and family. Just a little gathering and more separation can cause many flight attendant families to be broken.

When I was in elementary school, many classmates had a flight attendant mother. From time to time, I could see those beautiful flight attendant mothers picking up my classmates after school. However, as I grew older, I gradually learned that many of my classmates’ families were unfortunate and even divorced. Taking care of family and business, talking about how easy it is to do is so difficult. Behind the smiles of travelers, I don’t know how many tears in the dead of night.

family is like this, so is career. In the film, the first-class passengers face the persuasion of the flight attendants to make things difficult, and speak badly. The hot-tempered girls might just slap them up and let out a nasty breath, but they can't.

Faced with difficulties and unreasonable demands, they can only greet them with a smile, so as not to cause complaints from passengers. It is the only way for every flight attendant to cry secretly behind the curtain. In the face of flight delays, passengers' incomprehension, and unreasonable passengers, they must do a good job of explaining; when the plane suddenly loses pressure and falls into an emergency situation, they must first confirm whether the passengers wear oxygen masks and wear them properly. seat belt. Their duty requires them to put the safety of passengers first. The professional training they have undergone many years is to ensure the safety of passengers in various emergencies.

They are just girls in their early twenties. At this age, many girls are still enjoying their best time under the care of their parents, but they are already solely responsible for cabin safety. They are not flight attendants serving tea and water, they are flight attendants with the most rigorous training.

​​If you ask me what is the most moving thing in the movie, it is undoubtedly the emergency response on the ground after the accident. After the loss of pressure, the first officer was temporarily disabled, and the captain Liu Changjian was busy controlling the plane to report the situation to the ground. The control center of Chengdu District Dispatching Center kept calling after it discovered the abnormal dynamics of Sichuan Airlines 8633.

"Sichuan Airlines 8633, call from Chengdu. Sichuan Airlines 8633, call from Chengdu!"

could not call on the ground, so let the plane in the sky help. Different dialects and even different languages ​​are calling "Sichuan 8633, Chengdu calling" together in the air-the same sky, watching for help.

After the 7700 transponder (representing a mechanical failure of the aircraft) was hung up on Sichuan Airlines 8633, the emergency response was initiated, and the Chengdu District Dispatching Center, the Western Theater Air Intelligence Center, the Chengdu Airport AOC, and the Southwest Bureau of the Civil Aviation Administration launched emergency plans. The Regional Dispatch Center ordered planes in the sky to give way to Sichuan Airlines 8633, Chengdu airport control required that all flights on the ground were not allowed to take off, and all fighters training in this airspace in the Western Theater would evade.Take off is prohibited on the ground. The airport fire brigade, emergency rescue team, and public security are all urgently dispatched to provide Sichuan Airlines 8633 with all conveniences at all costs and create the best conditions for Sichuan Airlines 8633 to land safely. The safety of more than one hundred people in the sky is concerned with the hearts of thousands of people on the ground. Everything is for one goal: to let Sichuan Airlines 8633 land safely. And this is the embodiment of the spirit of China's civil aviation: everything is for the safety of passengers. At the end of the

​​movie, the hero captain returned home in time to attend his daughter's birthday party, as if the previous danger had never happened. Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but think of the way my father returned home after the emergency landing on the playground 19 years ago. For pilots, perhaps the last thing they want is to worry their families.

Sichuan Airlines 8633 is a miracle in the history of civil aviation in China. Under the superb technology and amazing perseverance of captain Liu Chuanjian, the plane landed safely and no one died. Although some plots were exaggerated in the movie, it basically reflected the scene at that time truthfully. The most moving thing for civil aviation personnel is the portrayal and description of those posts that are usually out of sight. "Captain of China" is not only a movie that pays tribute to the heroic crew of Sichuan Airlines, but also a movie that pays tribute to millions of civil aviation people across the country. It is a movie that can resonate with all civil aviation people.

Thank you, "Chinese Captain".
