Zhang Guangyao, captain of Linyi Ship： After ten years of grinding the ＂ship＂, he became the ＂more valuable person＂ of the motherland.
After the national release of Operation Red Sea, Linyi Ship held a "special screening meeting" on the back deck. At the "special screening", the officers and men of Linyi ship watched the film with relish, and their eyes on the big screen were full of pride. There is no Zhang Guangyao in the eager and excited audience. His cat is in the captain’s room, reading quietly as usual. "I’m not used to our soldiers always being in the high light of glory. Soldiers have nothing to show off in the face of war and danger." He said.

Dialogue with Zhang Guangyao, Captain of the Navy Linyi Ship-
Times are eliminating people, and times are also selecting people.

After the national release of Operation Red Sea, Linyi Ship held a "special screening meeting" on the back deck.
This explosive blockbuster, with a cumulative box office of 3.651 billion, made the national audience remember the special "first hero" Linyi Ship.
At the "special screening", the officers and men of Linyi ship watched the film with relish, and their eyes on the big screen were full of pride.
There is no Zhang Guangyao in the eager and excited audience. That night, his cat was in the captain’s room, reading quietly as usual.
In fact, until today, the second captain of Linyi Ship has never seen this film with the background of Linyi Ship’s evacuation of overseas Chinese.
"I’m not used to our soldiers always being in the high light of glory. Soldiers have nothing to show off in the face of war and danger." He said.
Although Zhang Guangyao is not used to it, it does not prevent this "glorious moment" that he and his comrades personally experienced from being remembered by historical documents such as Memorabilia since the 18th CPC National Congress and Memorabilia of Forty Years of Reform and Opening-up.
Linyi Ship is destined to be an unavoidable word in the grand narrative that embodies the demeanor of a big country and the responsibility of a big country’s army. In the China battleship sequence, it may be difficult for you to find another ship like Linyi, which has played a "hero role" in reality and on screen.
Just like the writer’s "that book", the singer’s "that song" and the cool warship in Operation Red Sea are exactly the "that role" of Linyi Ship.
"Linyi ship is a corner, we are not." Zhang Guangyao said, "But it is our luck and our mission to make Linyi a corner."
We are sailing in an unprecedented "open water"
"Where is the Linyi ship?" In the past two years, the Linyi ship seems to have "disappeared" from public view.
"We concentrated on one thing and gave the carrier Liaoning a’ knife guard’." When talking about this topic, Zhang Guangyao’s calm and restrained expression began to change.
"We are a ship that knows Liaoning best." Almost in one breath, Zhang Guangyao revealed the mysterious track of Linyi ship in the past two years in a parallel way: "When the Liaoning ship fired live ammunition for the first time, we were beside it; The Liaoning ship was trained in the open sea for the first time, and we were a member of the aircraft carrier formation; 歼 -15 landed at night for the first time, and we are the benchmark ships for their landing aircraft carriers … "
Although the captain in front of him is not used to his "high-profile", he will never allow any voice to question the Linyi ship.
"We are at every key node in the growth of Liaoning ships." No wonder Zhao Jingdong, Zhang Guangyao’s partner and political commissar of Linyi Ship, said that he was a "particularly decisive person".
Indeed, in the two-day interview and observation by reporters, there are few words that are very harmonious or ambiguous in Zhang Guangyao’s discourse system. Especially when standing in the cab, looking out at the sea and talking about the future, his quickness in speaking and the passion that flashed through his brow made no secret of his inner self-confidence.
The captain, who grew up quickly on the Linyi ship, successfully completed more than 40 major tasks such as Sino-Russian joint performance, escort in the Gulf of Aden and evacuation of overseas Chinese in Yemen.
Zhang Guangyao doesn’t intend to repeat these well-known stories, but tries to summarize them: "We are driving in an unprecedented’ open water’, and many times we are’ full speed ahead’."
How fast is it? The "Memorabilia" of Linyi clearly recorded their "full speed ahead" track-
Less than 3 months into the list, complete the basic training of a course; Less than half a year after being listed, five missiles were successfully launched, creating a new record for the same type of naval ship; Only nine months into the ranks, and passed the full training assessment …
Zhang Guangyao, who is about to celebrate his 40th birthday, is more and more convinced of his own judgment: the new era is an unprecedented "open water", and it is not only them who are "full speed ahead", but the whole navy is "full speed ahead".
Zhang Guangyao, who was obsessed with military affairs since childhood, had a picture of the British "Invincible" light aircraft carrier under his desk in middle school. After many years, he became the captain of the Linyi ship. He realized that the predecessor of the Linyi ship and the Invincible came from the same country.
The famous "Hua" class anti-submarine frigate "Alfalfa" of the British Navy was first sold to Hong Kong as a merchant ship after the end of World War II, and then bought back by the People’s Navy for repair and modification, and was named "Linyi" frigate …
Behind the interweaving and overlapping of personal memory and historical process is the real "time difference" between China’s navy and the world’s powerful navy. During the whole generation’s growth, the development of China’s navy, like that of this country, began to catch up with the world at an accelerated pace.
In the eyes of the world, this "open water" welcomes more and more new warships. "Old online celebrity" constantly gives way to "New online celebrity", which has become a common sight in the rapid development of China Navy.
"Enough water depth can support so many modern warships; The water surface is wide enough to accommodate the diving growth of our generation of captains. " Born in 1979 and growing up with the tide of reform and opening up, this naval captain has an intuitive insight into the times.
Knowing that the reporter arrived in Qingdao in less than three hours from Beijing by Fuxing, he immediately said: "The high-speed rail in the new era has been caught up by our generation."
What Zhang Guangyao said is true. When he was 6 years old, he went out with his father and saw a warship for the first time. After graduating from the military academy, he once thought that he was "finished in the deputy regiment" and did not expect to meet the era of a new type of warship blowout. Especially after becoming a captain, the pure time of leading the crew to study training and fighting fascinated him and injected him with ambition and confidence.
"The’ waters’ in front of us are wide enough, and how much you can do depends on how much you want to do." He said, "Now, I have infinite expectations for the future."
