Zhang Shaohua, Chief Expert of Geophysical Exploration at China National Petroleum Corporation, led his team to work hard in the Kuqa Mountain Front, a place known as "hard for eagles to reach". They achieved multiple breakthroughs in exploration technology, effectively solving the problem of observation blind spots in complex structural areas and providing high-quality exploration data for the discovery of China's billion cubic meter atmospheric field. In the face of an interview with reporters, he said, "It's about striving for success in a desperate situation and gnawing on the hardest bone of complex mountain exploration." Desperate situation refers to a situation where there is no way out. To strive for success in adversity "embodies the spirit of self-reliance and independent innovation for scientists. For soldiers, it is a heroic spirit of fearlessness in the face of danger, daring to break through, and daring to win. It is a heroic spirit of bravery, tenacity, fierce fighting, and perseverance. Looking back at the history of war, the People's Army has always maintained a proud posture, writing loyalty in times of danger and creating miracles in dire situations, and forging military prestige with outstanding military achievements. To achieve success in adversity, the first priority is to adhere to one's ideals and beliefs. During his visit to the Memorial Hall of the Long March Departure of the Central Red Army, President Xi Jinping pointed out: "The Party and the Red Army relied on firm ideals and beliefs, as well as strong revolutionary will, to rise from adversity time and time again, to become more courageous and ultimately achieve victory, creating an incredible miracle." During the Red Army's Long March, 28 wounded and sick soldiers tightly united around the "Grassland Party Branch," using their belief in "leaving a spark for revolution" to illuminate the way forward and eventually emerge from the grassland; In the Battle of Shangganling, the Eighth Company of a certain unit of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army fought bravely for 43 days in a desperate situation of food and water shortage, with the great spirit of overwhelming all enemies and never succumbing to them. In the end, they planted a battle flag filled with 381 bullet holes on the main peak, creating a miracle in the history of world battlefield defense; Liu Jin, the commander of a special operations brigade, led a team to participate in the "Team Spirit" international competition. Faced with the situation where the team was lost in the primitive forest, he never gave up and resolutely threw away the distress wire on his body. He turned his belief in fighting for soldiers and bringing glory to the motherland into a "sharp knife" that pierced through the desperate situation, and ultimately won the gold medal. Practice has proven that faith is the persistent pursuit of a predetermined goal, the guiding light to overcome adversity, and an important prerequisite for creating miracles. Winning in a desperate situation is not only a competition of faith and will, but also a contest of wisdom and ability. It requires a "diamond" to turn the tide and a "trump card" to turn the tide. In 2014, the Navy's 372 submarine, which was on a mission, suddenly encountered a terrifying "underwater cliff". In the critical 3 minutes, the entire crew executed over 30 commands and completed over 500 actions without any errors. It is precisely with this near limit speed and excellent skills that the officers and soldiers successfully escaped the submarine, creating a miracle in the history of submarines in China and even the world. During a flight training, carrier based aircraft pilot Yuan Wei collided head-on with a flock of birds, causing the left engine to catch fire. With his excellent skills, Yuan Wei received over 50 instructions and completed hundreds of operations within 10 minutes and 57 seconds, successfully saving the fighter jet and creating a miracle in the special situation handling of the aviation force, such as the fighter jet hitting a bird and catching fire, landing at the maximum load, and successfully landing at low altitude with a single engine. As a general once said, true strength can always find the key to breaking through in dire situations. In the future information-based and intelligent warfare, the battlefield environment will become more complex, combat methods will become more diverse, and combat transitions will become more frequent. We may be forced to a dead end at any time. Only by maintaining firm ideals and beliefs, and a strong revolutionary will, constantly forging an indomitable fighting style, and honing invincible combat skills, can the vast number of officers and soldiers "survive in the dead and emerge from the dead". Our heroic team will definitely win more applause and respect as a result. (New Society)
