The same age as the Party! He installed "eyes" on missiles and cultivated talents for the aerospace industry

All material civilization, including airplanes and cannons, is made possible by technology. If China wants to become rich and strong, it must have a thriving science and technology as a prerequisite. Therefore, since high school, I have set a creed for myself: I must study hard, practice real skills, master advanced science and technology, and contribute to the prosperity of the country.
