China News Service, Chengdu, October 16 (Su Heng Wang Peng) In the early morning of the 16th, the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft successfully launched.

Among the astronauts entering space, Ye Guangfu, born in 1980, is from Sichuan.

When the spacecraft was launched, Ye Guangfu's mother, sister, relatives and friends were also watching the live TV broadcast at their home in Wan'an Street, Tianfu New District, Sichuan.

They also recalled Ye Guangfu's growth story.

I dreamed of being a pilot since I was a child, and I often sit on a stone slab and watch the plane

　　Ye Guangfu's sister Ye Yadan still remembers the past.

She told reporters that her brother went to a rural elementary school near her home at the age of 6. At that time, the family lived in the countryside and his father died young. It was a weak and strong mother who took on the responsibility of farming and raising children.

Being strong and persevering is a life lesson for mothers to teach herself and her younger brother through actions.

　　Whenever the farm is busy, the neighbors will come to help, and the fruits of the vast rice field can be collected into the granary in a flash.

Speaking of these past events more than 30 years ago, the gratitude of his mother Liu Shaolin has not diminished. How many hands have helped this once-poor family through the difficulties.

　　My sister said that being born in a poor family didn't affect his younger brother's path of study and motivation. Ye Guangfu, who had never let his family worry about learning from an early age, said that being a pilot was his ideal.

At that time, there was a stone washing board at the door of the house. There was a plane flying by in the sky. My sister would call out loudly, "Brother, come, plane!" The two brothers and sisters often sat on this stone slab, looking up at the blue sky and watching the plane passing by. .

Ye Yadan said that such scenes filled their young lives with little but precious romance and longing.

28 laps of bicycles to accompany him on the road to school

　　In junior high school, Ye Guangfu started to attend Wan'an Middle School. The big and old 28-lap bicycle left by his father was a means of transportation he cherished.

Until high school, Ye Guangfu went to Taiping Middle School farther away from home to study, and it was this old bicycle that accompanied him on the journey and rush to the future.

In 6 years, the figure of a teenager studying in the country left overlapping and firm footprints on the country road.

On October 14, my sister used her mobile phone to take a picture of her younger brother's appearance.

　　Ye Guangfu’s third aunt told reporters that Ye Guangfu lived in her home for three years in high school, and she can see how hard her children are.

I woke up at an unknown day, and I was still reviewing in the middle of the night. These day after day hard work, and the back of that desk studying, seemed to be engraved in the heart of the third aunt for a long, long time.

　　In the third year of high school, Ye Guangfu ushered in the recruitment meeting, passed the physical examination and the college entrance examination, and soared into the blue sky ever since.

And just after he worked, with the rapid development of Wan'an, both his mother and sister moved into the brand-new elevator apartment. The community can walk and exercise, and you can buy fresh vegetables not far away. The transportation is convenient, the environment is pleasant, and it is hard work. The mother of many years began to enjoy the "slow down" old age.
