Walking towards the wind Overall score 2022 /

Ni Zhan failed to become a pilot because of myopia and physical conditions that did not meet the requirements. Ni Zhan is now the general manager of the crew maintenance department of Luzhou Airlines. He and Gu Nanting are alumni. In fact, his dream back then was also to be a pilot. But at that time he was short-sighted, but because of the poverty of his family, he could not have laser surgery. Later, he finally raised money to have laser surgery, but when he signed up to participate in the pilot selection, he was told that he did not meet the requirements of a pilot after laser eye surgery, and was directly dismissed. Ni Zhan's dream of flying was shattered in this way. Later, he had to study aircraft maintenance instead, and later entered the maintenance department of Luzhou Airlines. He was serious and responsible in his work, willing to endure hardships, and knew how to study. Over the years, he grew from an ordinary maintenance personnel to the person in charge of the maintenance department.
