AS LUO YANG DEPARTED， he took with him the joys felt when his carrier-based fighter jet， researched and developed by his own hand， touched down successfully on the carrier.
As Luo Yang departed， he took with him the pride and courage felt again by the nation.
Dalian city sunk into grievance；
Shenyang city sank into grievance.
“Come home， Luo Yang！”
“Luo Yang， come home！”
Luo Yang's wife， elder sister and brother-in-law came to Dalian for the arrival of his body， and with broken hearts they called out，“Luo Yang is back， Luo Yang has returned！”
The Head of the Naval Command， and military comrades of Luo Yang had travelled with his body from the hospital.
Dalian's Shipyard Leaders and the colleagues carried his coffin to the hearse， crying out，“My brother， you are home！”
China Aviation Industry Group's Chairman Lin Zuoming with Deputy General Manager Li Yuhai and colleagues from the northeast aviation community together carried Luo Yang back to his home.
Carrying the fallen heroes body， they proceeded by car from Dalian to Shenyang.
The Shenyang-Dalian Expressway had never been so silent， so solemn or so endless……
The procession had originally planned to drive directly from Dalian to Shenyang Longgang Funeral Parlour， but staff and leaders from Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's Design Institute strongly requested that Luo Yang return home one last time. Lin Zuoming agreed.
Turning onto the expressway from Shenyang's Taoxian airport， in every direction one looked were large banners；welcoming Luo Yang with“Welcome back home General Manager Luo Yang！”“Best Wishes to Chief Luo， the hero has returned！”
As the procession slowly entered the city， Luo Yang's elder sister Luo Ming said，“Mom has raised such a precious little brother. She will be especially moved by this.We should allow my brother to bid a final farewell to her.”
Therefore， the mighty procession switched off their head lights， and slowly drove in the direction of the retired cadres base where she was.
Early that morning， Luo Yang's mother had watched as the news about the success of the aircrafts landing on the Liaoning had been broadcast， and despite seldom if ever asking about her son's work， she understood that the news on this day was closely connected with her son， and she earnestly wished that her son would finish his mission quickly so that he could return. Feeling that something was amiss， from the early afternoon she began to feel uneasy， and a number of times stopped to listen intently， as if she could hear the familiar footsteps of her son approaching， his soft knock at the door……She picked up the phone several times wanting to say something to him， but she would lose her voice whenever she went to dial， reminding herself that her son has just completed a very big mission， and he would now not wish to be disturbed.After having dinner， she could not take the silence any longer， and dialed her son's phone.Nobody answered， as at that time Wang Xili was in the hearse， travelling with Luo Yang's body.At 8 pm， the phone rang， however it was not her son， not her daughter in law， but a stranger's voice， saying that he would be coming over to repair the heating in the apartment.She did not know the stranger was her son's colleague， who was arranging to take care of his funeral.
Luo Yang's mother felt as though she being forewarned， with a feeling inside of her that she had never felt before……
She fretted on into the night in her comfortable apartment on the fifth floor of the Cadres'Sanatorium Rast House， leaving the outside light on for her son to see clearly as he arrived.
I spare a thought here for the respectable lady. Did you know it already?That at that very moment， your son was travelling to send his final farewells to you.
If Luo Yang had been watching from above， he would have seen that familiar light. In previous years， due to a busy schedule he would only be able to find time to visit his elderly mother at night time.The light on the fifth floor apartment was his mother's way of calling him over.
Every time he would see the warm glow of that light， he could see his mother's kind face in his mind. His mother had given 51 years of love， as deep as the sea， and as strong as the mountain.A mother's love， kindness and affection is the most cherished thing a son can hold， and if there is an afterlife， it should be one that Luo Yang's mother is rewarded with.
Looking at that bright light was like looking into the bright eyes of his mother. Although his mother did not ask him about his work， she was deeply aware that he was serving the nation on an important objective， and as well as being her son， he was very much the son of the nation……
At that moment， her son's heart had already stopped beating， and he would never look upon that light again， nor would he call out“mother！”again.
Inside the room there was a mother waiting， but outside the window there was a son coming to say goodbye as he travelled on his way to heaven.
As the wind blew through the cold night sky， the hero headed slowly towards his home.
At some point in the night， snowflakes began to fall， and swirled into crystals in the air. The snow came to take Luo Yang on his journey.
Closer now， the procession edged towards Shenyang Aircraft Design Institute， where Luo Yang had put into practice for the first time his dream of“serving the national aviation industry”. It was where Luo Yang had strived and lived for twenty years.It was here that he had ascended， from a standard Designer to Party Committee Secretary， though still endowed with pure spirit， wisdom and loyalty.
Academicians Li Ming， Li Tian and Yang Fengtian arrived to see the procession. Standing together with expressions of dignity and deep sorrow， three leading academic figures of the second generation of Chinese aviation personnel， farewelling the hero of the next generation.In the minds of the three scholars， Luo Yang was an expert technologist， manager and administrator， and truly multitalented.The three men would never forget Luo Yang's commonly heard phrase，“What we pursue above all else， is that through our persistence we may build a team of modern fighter jets for the nation， that we may close the defense gap between advanced nations and that oflour own.”
Back at that time， it was quite commonplace to hear the roar of the fighter jets above Tawan and Santaizi of Shenyang's northern suburbs. The noises caused an upsurge of emotion to the listener， as it was evidence that generation after generation of aviation personnel were unrelentingly pursuing this dream.Nowadays， when a fighter jet takes off from the base， they below feel at once a sense of pride at the result， and a sudden realization that Luo Yang has gone， leaving one with the feeling that the aviation industry marches on through hardship， and as the aircraft opens its wings into the sky， it flies with the blood sweat and tears of the people that have contributed to it.
The bad news fell about the Institute like a bolt of lightning from the blue sky， and with the force that almost knocked the old Director Liu Chunyi off his feet. Standing amongst the crowd， his eyes silently filled with tears of remorse.
He carried in his hand a piece of Chinese rice paper that read，“With the weight of the nation on his shoulders， and a great pressure on his chest， the hero has died too soon， and left without reward. My disciple of the industry is lost！”
As Luo Yang moved up the ranks， his spirit blended together with those of the elder generation of aviation personnel， and Liu Chunyi had seen him as a disciple. He watched as Luo Yang slowly progressed forwards with indomitable endurance， and thus Luo Yang's unfortunate death was a particularly serious loss for the old Director.
The old Director still remembered the time that Luo Yang joined as a group member when the team had travelled to Russia for a training course. At that time they had not only participated in new model inspections， but also to witness the world's most advanced wind tunnel at the time.In those few days， Luo Yang's mouth was always drawn tight， his eyes in deep focus， from within could be seen an invigorating energy， and from that moment onwards， Luo Yang's wishes for the future were clear.Along with his generation of aviation personnel， they would together create aircraft that would catch up with those of the most advanced nations on the planet.
The old Director was sure， Luo Yang had both the spirit and wisdom required to ensure that the aircraft touched down successfully on the carrier. Endowed with a limitless loyalty to his nation， and always overloading himself with work， he would carry the team to complete crucial new models， and did so up until the final moments of his life.
The old Director was comforted by the fact that， after the combined struggles of three generations， finally Luo Yang and his colleagues would deliver the great achievements.
Luo Yang's generation were the“post 1960's intellectuals”，known for harbouring within them the heavy burdens of solemnness. Born into this generation， one had to endure the early famines of the nation， were educated through the Cultural Revolution， and finally their values were put to the test during employment.After more than 20 years forging and training themselves， they were to finally become the mainstay's of that industry， and those responsible for bringing together the past with the present.When taking the baton from the hands of the older generation， they could not stop， but had to catch up to the vast and mighty objectives that were put before them.Luo Yang was the worthy representative that benchmarked this high spirit.
Edging closer now， the procession slowly arrived to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. As the sorrow filled into the night， Shenyang Aircraft Corporation lamented for the loss of Luo Yang.
“Chief Luo， travel safe！”
“Chief Luo， we will miss you！”
Heartbreaking messages were left on banners hanging on the left and right of the gates that lead into the factory areas.
Luo Yang， if only you could see！On top of the Numerical Control Plant， light boxes had been set up to display the phrase“Serve the National Aviation Industry， Strengthen the Military and Enrich the People”. That night was brilliantly bright， and poignantly sad.
The leadership group of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation had all arrived， standing before their office block， enduring the occasion with sorrow. They knew that Luo Yang did not like to see tears， though unfortunately tonight many of them could not help but to weep.This group was particularly adept at striving forwards， and as a strongly united collective， they moved Shenyang Aircraft Corporation forwards into a new age of maturation， where new heights would be reached.
His face wet with tears， Xie Genhua said silently to himself，“Luo Yang， oh Luo Yang， my brother， my partner. Through 10 years in this office， you have lead our group in the development of strategy by overcoming many problems， committing to innovation and pursuing excellence.Whenever we were confronted with obstacles， you were always the first to charge forwards， and with your‘if foreigners can do it， so then can us Chinese'attitude， you encouraged us to strive through.In the five years that you were appointed as General Manager， the output value of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation increased from 49 million RMB to 1230 million RMB.When we would celebrate our successes， you would celebrate too， but always remind us that‘there is still a gap between us and the aviation industry of the modern world， and there is a way to go yet.'”
“During the J-15 celebratory banquet， you held your glass up to toast with us， and said with great expectation，‘I'll say it now， on the day that our flying sharks successfully land on the Liaoning， we will all get very drunk！'And now that the flying sharks have landed on deck， we are waiting and expecting your arrival. But Chief Luo， you have left us too soon.'”
Chief Luo， we are awaiting your leadership to guide us forward！
Chief Luo， we are awaiting your leadership to guide us into glory！
Chief Engineer Yuan Li simply could not accept what was now before him. As long time co-workers， they became the closest of brothers.And now， at this point in time， he could only weep to himself，“Living in the same apartment block and working on the same projects， we practically lived together.We treated one another like family.As close as siblings， each having a sister‘in law'to match， children that were‘nephews'，and parents that became‘uncles and aunties'too.And now that New Year's Eve is approaching， how can I appear before your wife， her face stained with tears， your daughter still in school， and your mother with her physical ailments.My elder brother， you have left us too soon.Although you have committed yourself for the glory of your nation， all I want now is for you to be alive again！The key to your house hangs by my door， my brother， and I await the day I can return it to you by myself.”
Deputy General Manager Miao Yuhua said with tears，“Chief Luo， there was never a time that you did not care for us. Seeing that we were exhausted or weary， you would always say to us with much affection that we must pay attention to our health.Sometimes during lunch time， I would report the completion of a task to you， and would have already left your office when you would call out，‘you are looking unwell， are you working too hard?Who works best also knows how to rest and relax！'However， indeed it was only you that did not know how to rest.This year， the Corporation had implemented physical examinations， and you carefully enquired about the results oflour assessments.However， due to your busy schedule you twice delayed your check-up.Such a regrettable death， as we knew to report our health to you， yet your own health was neglected by all……”
The procession passed by the Aircraft Testing Station， as Testing Facility Head Zhang Xiaoqiang and the workers there shed tears as they greeted Luo Yang's body. Zhang Xiaoqiang expected that after the successful touch down of the J-15's， Luo Yang would immediately return to the Corporation， and his first stop would be the Testing Facility production site.Zhang Xiaoqiang had many new ideas， and carefully read reports based on a few problems that had recently been encountered.He did not expect that in his place came the news of Luo Yang's death.
The Testing Facility site was visited by Luo Yang almost every single day during the last two months of his life. As the last turnoff within Shenyang Aircraft Corporation， the results of the 16，000 strong workforce of the Corporation would ultimately be tested at within the Testing Facility.
Luo Yang knew that， although standard safety rules and regulations were put in place at the Testing Facility， ultimately the safety of the facility was assured by the staff. He would often ask Zhang Xiaoqiang about specific working conditions within the Testing Facility， and affirm that the workers must pay attention to regular rest periods as well as work.
Chief Luo， you only thought of others， but never of yourself！
Up until this moment， Zhang Xiaoqiang could not believe that Luo Yang had really“left”so soon. No， he thought， he didn't leave， he was just overworked， too tired and taking a temporary reprieve of his responsibility.He would return， and guide us once again through his miracles of innovation……
At that moment hundreds of workers had moved their cars onto the aircraft runway， facing west in two long rows to join the procession. The hearse slowly drove on at the front， and as it slowed， so too did the hundreds of cars behind， their brake lights lighting up the dark night around them.
Luo Yang， oh Luo Yang， we will light your path home.
Luo Yang， oh Luo Yang， once you arrive home it will be time for you to be put to rest.
The news of Luo Yang's death caused Wang Qiang to shudder， and he with his wife Wu Nan ran to the door. He had planned to head to the factories， but there were no taxi's in sight， and not waiting for a single moment， he grabbed his wife by the hand and together they ran to the plant sight.Arriving there， they were met by cars and people alike flowing in.
The procession slowly drove on in.
Wang Qiang's face was wet with tears as he called out，“Chief Luo， how can you be gone， how can you have left！”
In the mind of Wang Qiang and his wife， Luo Yang was not only a leader， he was also a close brother.
During 2008，as Wang Qiang and his team were attempting to overcome issues with the hook welding operation， he was also dating the girl that would become his wife. Once， Luo Yang arrived to the site， and earnestly asked Wang Qiang“Xiao Wang， you have been working overtime every day， and spending little time at home.Doesn't your partner at home miss you?”Wang Qiang replied with a reddening face“Chief Luo， we are not yet married！”Luo Yang asked，“But you have spoken to her about the possibility?”Wang Qiang replied，“Yes we are talking about it.”“What does she think?”Wang Qiang laughed as he replied，“I work overtime every night， and haven't seen her for a few weeks now.She is beginning to disapprove of it！”
On hearing this， Luo Yang said sternly to the Factory Head by his side，“We need to sort this out， if we really cannot sort out this hook， Xiao Wang would be responsible；but if Xiao Wang's girlfriend left him， you would be responsible！”
After this， the Factory Head delivered a personal note of thanks with the signature of Luo Yang to Wang Qiang's girlfriend， whom was quite moved on reading it， understanding now what her partner was so busy with every day. In addition， her father was also an old employee of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation， and she further understood the role that Wang Qiang had.
During the marriage of Wang Qiang and his partner， he especially sent marriage candies to Luo Yang， whom replied to them saying，“I ate the candies， very sweet.”“Chief Luo， how could you go！”Wang Qiang and Wu Nan called out through tears.
When the Surface Treatment Plant cleaning staff Kang Guiru heard“Luo Yang has gone”from her neighbor， she almost replied with an insult，“How dare you speak such nonsense！Watch your tongue！”Later， as she watched the workers from her apartment block all running out towards the factory， she suddenly realized the seriousness of what she had been told， and without saying a word she hurried back home， called out to her son Liu Fulin，“Son， our great benefactor has fallen”，then taking him with her， they both rushed off to the Plant.
“Our benefactor， how can you be gone……”
“Our benefactor， you cannot leave like this……”
As the hearse arrived， Kang Guiru dropped to her knees.
Her tears spilled out， and the pained calls of her and her son travelled far into the lonely night air.
The“Jin Family”Luo Yang had attached great importance to had also arrived， and lining up in a row of 10，they bowed thrice to the procession as it drove past.
In the frozen wind that washed through， warm tears froze against the cheeks of the people that watched.
Luo Yang was a skilful scientific fighter that had worked on the national aircraft carrier enterprise， and was also the first person to sacrifice his life for the carrier.
From morning till evening on that day， solemn military representatives lined up to pay respects and send one last salute to their colleague Luo Yang.
The military representatives still remembered amongst them a moving scene：
In early Spring of that year， one of the“Flying Sharks”had to be transported to another research institute for testing. The entire aircraft was required for testing， and due to its large size， it could only be transported on the main highway.In order to ensure the confidential transportation， the transportation could only be conducted at night.
The night of the operation was frozen stiff， and water droplets had frozen into ice. Luo Yang arrived onto the site early， and called out the technologists to again inspect the transport plan.Only after affirming that everything was in place， he approved the mission by signing his name.
In the frozen wind and flying snow of that night， the air temperature dropped to minus 10 degrees centigrade. As the transport vehicle slowly moved forwards， people urged Luo Yang to get into the transport car and follow behind， however he insisted on walking， in order to ensure the safety of the aircraft.
As the aircraft safely arrived into the research institute after 6 kilometers and 3 hours of transport， Luo Yang was entirely covered in snow. As he saw it， the aircraft would always be the first priority.
The Chief Military Representative said，“Luo Yang represents the countless silent contributions that are provided by military personnel， and from this perspective， Luo Yang is not just one single man， but represents a group of people whom， like those of the‘two nuclear weapons， one satellite'project， silently contributed their wisdom and energy for the defense of the nation！”
Luo Yang did represent a group that emphasized dedication， was adept in doing battle and in enduring hardship.
Recall the“Seven Wolves”group a decade ago in Shenyang Aircraft Design Institute?Later on， with the exception of Luo Yang， all six of the other colleagues in the group were promoted into higher positions；however Luo Yang was forever their“Party Committee Secretary”. They were：
Deputy General Manager of the China Aviation Industry Li Yuhai；
AVIC Deputy Chief Engineer and Chief Designer of the J-15 Sun Cong；
AVIC Aircraft Co.，Ltd.，Chairman Fang Yufeng；
AVIC Major Projects Office New Machines Director Liu Huaxiang；
AVIC Pneumatic Academy Dean Zhao Bo；
AVIC Pneumatic Academy Party Committee Secretary Wang Zongwen.
Once known as the famous iron blooded spirit of the National Aviation Industry， the group of“Wolves”gathered once more， but none would have expected that this gathering was to farewell the head of their pack……
Despite Li Yuhai telling everybody that“Luo Yang did not like tears， there will be no tears today”，as the procession slowly drove past， each and every one of the six men broke down into tears.
The hearse seemed to be slowing， and creeped to a halt.
Life and death met， and heaven and earth became one！
The air itself froze solid， and no sound came from the vast land. It seemed as though the voices of the“Seven Wolves”echoed together on the wind—
Li Yuhai：“I kept on telling you， you should have taken it easy and slowed down. You never took this advice， and in order to fulfil your service to the national aviation industry， you committed every drop of your blood and it took your life！”
Luo Yang：“Well， aren't we all the same?Aren't all aviation personnel like this?In order to catch the pace of the advanced world， we haven't any time to waste. Every aviation personnel has a sense of urgency.”
Sun Cong：“We wish to hear your phrases again， your‘whatever you design is， we will produce it！How we wish you to still be the Experimental Testing Field Commander， without that there will be no new models.'”
Luo Yang：“Oh！That phrase was just one of my favourites. From now on， I will still be here， but only be able to provide you with moral support……”
Fang Yufeng：“Our‘Annual Spring Festival Meeting'was a regulation of yours that we had kept for over ten years now. Every meeting is a grand occasion.Where we normally do not drink， this is the time for drinking！Where we usually hold our tongues， this is the time for speaking！I remember during one oflour meetings， Hua Xiang was out of the country on work， and I asked you，‘Shall we go ahead with the meeting， or wait for Hua Xiang's return?'You replied，‘Wait， we must wait for Hua Xiang.Without Hua Xiang， nothing would be right.'And now， during next year's Annual Spring Festival Meeting， we are missing you.How it pains us to meet in your absence！”
Luo Yang：“Meet！You must continue the meetings， and invite my wife and daughter in my stead. In that way I will still be amongst you.”
Liu Huaxiang：“As you leave， the light from the moon looses its glow……”
Wang Zongwen：“As your departure has come about so suddenly， would you like to say a few words before you go?”
Luo Yang：“Leaving the aviation teams that I have served and kept in my heart， without regret for 30 years， what I want to say most is，‘I have been lucky to serve the aviation industry！'”
Zhao Bo：“You are our pride！”
Luo Yang：“I am proud of every one oflour aviation personnel！If I must go on， it is to say that the work oflour aviation industry is to benefit the nation， to bring glory to our nation. My brothers-in-arms， farewell！”
The Six Wolves：“farewell！”
As Luo Yang fell， even his death was of a noble and worthy cause.
For his tragic death brought others to reflect on the values and the memory of heros that submitted their lives to pioneer the national aviation industry—
40 years prior， in order to bring peace to the skies above China， and to commence R＆D on the J-6 fighter jet， the first appointed Chief Engineer of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation， Gao Fangqi worked himself mercilessly， through impossible pain， enduring his work on the production site day and night without rest. Leading the technologist team through one research challenge after another， in the end he suffered a sudden heart attack from extreme fatigue， falling down by the production line of the new aircraft that were under development……
Sure enough， history repeats itself.
Also worthy oflour remembrance and our respect， a pioneer and one of the founders of the national Aviation Engine Research Division， Wu Daguan. Spending 68 years of his 93 years long lifespan battling for the aviation industry， he created the nine“firsts of the industry”.Through Wu Daguan's lifelong struggle， he worked to provide a“Chinese heart”to the aircraft of the nation.Within his own chest， Wu Daguan's heart was truly a most precious“Chinese heart”.Merging together his own life with the life of his nation， he took the needs of China as though they were the personal needs of himself， and committed his life to pushing the aviation industry forwards to catch up with the world.Wu Daguan stood at the beginning of the industries catching up process， establishing the talent and contributing a torrent of revival into the industry.
Also worthy oflour remembrance and respect is the J-10 Chief Experimental Testing Field Commander Yang Baoshu. The J-10 was a national defensive“Security Sword”，culminated by 20 years of blood， sweat and tears from workers at the Republic's military frontline.At the R＆D site， Yang Baoshu called on the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group Communist-workers to“take the lead and be the first to charge， for we must not allow the models on our production line to to be fabricated late！”Nobody would have expected that a relentless disease was slowly overcoming him， and on the final day of his life， he was to drag his frail body to the R＆D site for one last day of battle.As the aircraft were taking off into the sky， Yang Baoshu fell.As his soul joined them in the sky， he fell into a coma， and from then on would sometimes utter quietly in his sleep to himself“They have taken off！They fly high！Higher！”On the 9th of September 1999，Yang Baoshu finally left his beloved aviation industry.
Also worth oflour remembrance and respect are Xu Shunshou， Huang Zhiqian and Lu Xiaopeng……
With their own noble characters， they informed the world on the benefits of dignity， of courage， and of standing proud. They committed their lives to the great purpose of serving the aviation industry， and committed their own bodies to practicing the sacred pursuit of strengthening the army and enriching the people！
Just as Xu Shunshou， Huang Qian， Lu Xiaopeng， Wu Daguan， Yang Baoshu and Luo Yang represented each generation of aviation personnel up until now， looking into the future， through the 60 years journey of China's aviation industry， an immortal monument will be erected， piece by piece， as a great steel wall of might between the sea and the sky！
With these representatives behind us， China's national defense modernization to continue to grow！
With these representatives behind us， the“Chinese Dream”will become a reality！
We call out to the sea，
Chief Luo， where are you?
The sea rolls in， he has left， he has gone，
The Liaoning ship stands as your undying resolve，
A loyal aviation personnel，
An eternal monument erected between the heaven and the earth.
We call out to the blue sky，
Chief Luo， where are you?
The white clouds circle in， he has left， he has gone，
As the jets fly into the sky， so to they lift up your spirit，
With a burning sincerity，
Dancing on the tip of a knife and shaking the world.
Chief Luo， where are you?
You may have heard， the horns of the carrier on the horizon，
You may have seen， the nation as it lamented at your loss，
The rain and the winds of the past cannot be forgotten，
The parting of obstacles cannot be forgotten，
Your footsteps remain on every inch of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation.
Luo Yang， where are you?
You spared no efforts to selflessly dedicate your innovations，
The loyalty of your bones becomes the indomitable national spirit guarding the skies，
You may know， your superior character and your noble spirit has spread throughout the lands，
It has been forged into the cherished sword of aviation，
Those at Shenyang Aircraft Corporation are working on your unfinished business，
They work hard.
With the voice of all of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation，500，000 aviation personnel sing this song into the sky.
In this tragic rolling night；
In this passion burning night；
In the spirit of this night forever.
They are coming for Lei Feng， for Jiao Yulu， Kong Fansen， and for Qian Xuesen……
They are calling for a spirit；
They are summoning a soul.
To those whose dedications are engraved into the motherland！
A motherland that needs more prosperous， hardworking sons like Luo Yang！
