Multiple fighter jets from different countries illegally entered the airspace over the South China Sea. After an illegal patrol, they fought in the air, and three of them collided, killing all the pilots on board.
When Liang Guiying learned about this from the TV news, she felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, as soon as she turned off the TV, Zhou Yue came back to pack his luggage.
“Something’s happened in the South China Sea, and Captain Gu and I have to go there.” As Zhou Yue spoke, she handed all her possessions to Liang Guiying. “If I don’t come back, please raise Niannian for me.”
Liang Guiying knew the situation was serious, but she didn't expect it to be this serious. Her hands were trembling: "Zhou Yue, it shouldn't have gotten to that point yet, right? Aren't there still negotiations at the national level? Besides, it was their own fighting up there that caused the plane to crash, it has nothing to do with us!"
“There have been negotiations at the national level, but there has been little progress. They are too domineering,” Zhou Yue said in a deep voice. “They claim that the collision occurred because they were driven away by us. They say that there should be no airspace demarcation in the South China Sea, and that it is international and anyone can come here.”
"How could you be so shameless?!"
“Because we are too weak.” Zhou Yue didn’t want to say more. “This is the letter I wrote to you, and also to Niannian. I’ll give it to her when she turns eighteen. Mom, I’m leaving.”
Liang Guiying was startled by the word "Mom" and chased after him, crying, "Zhou Yue, you must come back!"
The camp seemed to have lost many people overnight. When the families gathered together, few had the leisure to gossip about anyone. Someone started talking about the current international situation, and as they spoke, they burst into tears: "Our country is still too weak! If we could manufacture our own fighter jets, if we had our own warships and aircraft carriers, how dare they bully us like this!"
As Liang Guiying passed by, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
Yes, that's so unfair!
But apart from sitting here and venting their emotions, they seem unable to do anything else.
On the fifth day, students in the capital organized their own marches to protest.
This incident, like a spark, quickly spread like wildfire across various regions after being reported in the news.
Liang Guiying and Liang Yuelan, along with other family members from the compound, also joined the march.
Everyone hopes this matter can be resolved properly, but no one knows what constitutes a proper resolution.
After the trip, Liang Guiying brought Niannian back as well.
She turned on the TV for Zhou Xiaonian: "Watch TV first, and Grandma will help you with your homework after dinner."
"Not grandma, but maternal grandma." The little one said seriously, "Mom said you are maternal grandma, not grandma."
Not grandma, but mother-in-law... Zhou Yue is treating her like her own mother.
Liang Guiying quietly cried out in the kitchen.
Half of her was happy because Zhou Yue was not only willing to treat her as family, but also as her mother.
Half of my sadness comes from the uncertainty surrounding Zhou Yue's fate.
"Mom!" Zhou Xiaonian shouted from the living room, pointing at the TV. "Grandma, look! Mom's on TV!"
On television, Zhou Yue, dressed in combat uniform, said firmly: "If the other side wants to fight, then we will fight. All members of our flight squadron are willing to use our own lives to build a new Great Wall over the South China Sea!"
Liang Guiying's tears streamed down her face again.
This footage was seen by many people across the country.
