"Teacher, I want to be a pilot in the future"

Handheld drone

The young boy made a dream


The 8th National Youth Drone Competition is being held in Chongqing

There is such a special team

18 little pilots

From Liangtian Primary School and other mountain schools in Zhenning Buyi and Miao Autonomous County, Guizhou Province

From provincial competition to national competition

Fly out of the mountains with a drone


Once upon a time, the mountains and ridges blocked the sight of exploration.

Many children have never left the mountains.

I have never seen such a "novelty" as a drone.

Until three years ago

Chen Zhongchao from AVIC Guizhou Aircraft Co., Ltd. came to Liangtian Primary School to teach


At first, Chen Zhongchao wanted to enrich the children's extracurricular life.

Lead children to learn about aviation science, meet space heroes, and make model airplanes

An accidental opportunity

Chen Zhongchao brought a drone to school for aerial photography

The children gathered around

I want to try it.


"Why not?"

Chen Zhongchao took this opportunity to set up a drone flight interest group

And with the support of the assistance unit, we received 20 drones

The children practiced hard in front of the kitchen, in the courtyard, and on the hillside.

Even on holiday, I still persist


In 2022, Chen Zhongchao took his six children to Jiangxi

Participated in the 6th National Youth Drone Competition

Won six awards and became a big hit

In 2023, it won seven more awards in the competition


The hard work behind the award

Only they know

Some children have difficult family conditions.

Unable to afford the competition fee

Every time I lead the team out to compete

Chen Zhongchao and the school teachers went around to "seek support"

The shop owners and farmers in the cooperative all came to support

Some donated supplies, some paid for food.

"For no other reason than to let the children go out and broaden their horizons."

Thanks to their outstanding performance, two sixth-grade students, Hou Tianyou and Liu Yilin,

The drone team of the local key middle school was spotted early on.

A new learning journey will begin this September


"I want to be a pilot" and "I want to be admitted to Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics"

This time I came to Chongqing

The children also had a face-to-face exchange with Zhai Zhigang, the aerospace hero whom they had long admired.

“The children have broadened their horizons and have a goal to strive for.”

Chen Zhongchao feels that all his efforts have not been in vain

Because every child's face shines with youthful confidence
