Lu Zaide-the story of climbing the peak of science and technology with one leg

Lu Zaide-the story of climbing the peak of science and technology with one leg, the English model told Lu Zaide, a Shanghainese, born in 1932, joined the army in 1953, and joined the party in 1960. Senior engineer, professional and technical major general. 1978 was awarded the title of "model scientific researcher" by the General Logistics Department, and 1990 was approved as "Young and Middle-aged Expert Award with Outstanding Contribution" by the Ministry of Personnel and the General Political Department. 1992, the central military commission awarded him the honorary title of "model of national defense science and technology work". One summer day 53 years ago, Lu Zaide, a young soldier who graduated from Tsinghua University with a disability in his left leg, came to Horqin Prairie and began his weapon test career at the Central Range, the first conventional weapon test base in China. On the vast grassland, Lu Zaide, who lost his left leg, had to endure the hardships of life far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Ordinary people take a step of 70 cm, and he can only walk 40cm；; Because the grassland is windy, ordinary people can turn their backs and walk backwards. He can only walk against the wind. Winter goes and spring comes, and cold and summer alternate. Lu Zaide kept busy on the shooting range, piling, measuring, collecting data and calculating data. Although he was psychologically prepared, when the reporter saw him, his heart was still full of shock-his residual leg was only 3 inches long, his prosthesis was not firmly fixed on it, and he often bled his broken leg. "Over the years, I have worn out six aluminum alloy prostheses!" Lu Zaide told reporters with a smile. Lu Zaide had five opportunities to work in Beijing, but he gave it up again and again for scientific research and experiments. His younger brother once wrote to persuade him: "A green leaf will wither one day. You can't drag one leg and live on the grassland all your life. " He wrote back and said, "My pursuit and career are in the grassland. Even if it becomes a fallen leaf one day, it will turn into soil to nourish this land. " Lu Zaide initiated our army's first artillery dynamic test project and presided over the formulation of our army's first anti-aircraft gun trajectory computer program. Through the unremitting efforts of several generations, represented by Lu Zaide, this weapon test center has become a large-scale conventional weapon test site with information, base and institutionalized test management. Lu Zaide's tireless research attitude and innovative spirit have infected and inspired generations of latecomers in the field of weapons test and research. During the interview, several newly assigned college students told reporters almost in unison: "The natural conditions here are really bitter, but we don't regret it. Compared with Teacher Lu, what we have suffered is nothing at all! " This simple discourse contains the persistent attitude of a new generation of weapon testers to life. Gorky once said: "The higher a person pursues, the more fully he can play." Lu Zaide, with his infinite loyalty and love for the party and the people, his unremitting pursuit and struggle for the national defense of the motherland, built an immortal monument for us in the desolate frontier and vast grassland with his disabled body.
