Short-term immigrants

From16th century to18th century, western European countries invaded North America during this period. Later, under the leadership of Washington, thirteen States in North America won the War of Independence, and the United States was born. With the continuous development of the United States and due to various war reasons, more and more people began to immigrate to the United States, and then the United States became a big immigrant country. On the streets here, you can see many people of different races, because they all immigrated from other countries, and many people come from China, and Zheng Yiming is one of them.

1982, Zheng Yiming was born in Gansu, China. As a teenager, Zheng Yiming always got excellent grades and had a group of "like-minded" partners. He should have been born and raised in the motherland, but one day he was told by his mother that he needed to leave his present school and present partner. This is a great blow to Zheng Yiming who is only 15 years old. Soon, 1997 young Zheng Yiming left the motherland and immigrated to this strange country-the United States with her mother.

Perhaps because of the cultural differences between the two countries, the system in the United States is different from that in China. Zheng Yiming, who got excellent grades, came to the United States, but only became a "poor student". At that time, Zheng Yiming was immature and short, and because of the Asian face and skin, he was always bullied by those American children, and no one wanted to play with him. At the same time, the children here are always swearing at him, sometimes even punching and kicking. And all these changes, for Zheng Yiming, who just came to the United States, suddenly fell from the sky, with no excellent grades and no playmates.

After that, Zheng Yiming began to study in American high schools. High school is almost over. Because of the difference of American system, it is too late for him to learn more knowledge to make up for his lack of knowledge. At this time, he can only face not being admitted to the university, which means that Zheng Yiming's reading career is coming to an end. From then on, he needs to support himself, and he needs to make another living. After thinking, Zheng Yiming chose to join the army. Because at that time, the requirements of the United States for joining the army were not high. First, you want to graduate from high school; Second: You are American or have a green card. These two points, Zheng Yiming just meet.

Zheng Yiming, who decided to join the army, was soon ready. Before allocating barracks, an entrance examination is required. The higher the score at that time, the better the barracks and military posts were assigned. In this exam, Zheng Yiming only got 48 points. Therefore, when the barracks were assigned later, Zheng Yiming could only be assigned to Gumu Naval Base in California to do some basic chores.

After entering the naval base, life in Zheng Yiming became more difficult. In the army, the people he worked with were basically Americans, so it was difficult to see the other side of China, and then he felt even more lonely. Because of his poor enlistment and weak constitution, the soldiers here look down on him and always try their best to arrange some dirty work for him.

Zheng Yiming, who lives here alone, has a hard time every day. Here he is far away from his parents and friends, no one has always supported him, and no one can understand his hard work. However, it is this living environment that makes him more and more tenacious here. As he could only live and work here, the boy began to do every job seriously.

Although life at the naval base was extremely difficult, Zheng Yiming never gave up on himself. He began to overcome all difficulties with indomitable spirit. Here, Zheng Yiming's practical ability is very strong. Gradually, due to his outstanding performance in his work, he was promoted to carl vinson's maintenance supervisor. Life on the carl vinson was also very difficult, when the aircraft carrier was sent to the Persian Gulf to deal with emergencies.

At that time, Zheng Yiming not only lived in fear every day, but also often defended carl vinson. The headache is that there are often sandstorms here. When these sandstorms sweep, they always leave a layer of yellow sand on the aircraft carrier. As the maintenance chief, Zheng Yiming must keep the aircraft carrier clean and tidy every day. Whenever this happens, Zheng Yiming is always patient, wiping every plane and corner over and over again.

Day after day, year after year. Huge aircraft carriers are floating on the sea, and daily life is extremely boring. Because many people can't stand this boring life, they will jump into the sea and end their lives. You can always hear such news every once in a while. Faced with such a boring day, Zheng Yiming chose to continue to work hard and devote herself to her work. With his diligence and hard work, his ability was finally recognized by everyone.

With Zheng Yiming's unremitting efforts, he finally stood out from more than 5,000 sailors and was named "sailor of the year". At the same time, his name will be engraved on the carrier aircraft. At the same time, this time, Zheng Yiming also received a special award. At that time, Zheng Yiming's aircraft carrier would choose the best two sailors to fly the aircraft carrier every month, and Zheng Yiming's special reward this time was to fly the aircraft carrier himself. For Zheng Yiming, who has worked hard for so many years, it is the highest honor to have the opportunity to fly the aircraft carrier in person.

When Zheng Yiming entered the cab, he sat in the position of captain and began to control the whole aircraft carrier. It turns out that the huge aircraft carrier actually has a steering wheel smaller than the steering wheel of the car. According to Zheng Yiming's memory, when he was manipulating the aircraft carrier, he felt that it was also very simple to drive the aircraft carrier and the manipulation was not complicated. Time flies. Zheng Yiming manipulated the aircraft carrier for only 15 minutes, but he will never forget the feeling of manipulating the aircraft carrier at that time. At this point, Zheng Yiming is still a person from China who only has a green card. Therefore, Zheng Yiming was later known as the only China man who had ever driven an American aircraft carrier.

Although, Zheng Yiming has been working in a low position. However, he always treats him courteously. Because of his earnest efforts, his name was engraved on the American carrier, and he became the first China man to fly the American carrier. His spirit is worth learning. On the other hand, although Zheng Yiming's position is very small, he does not despise it, but regards it as his responsibility day and night. He was conscientious and responsible, so he was later awarded the title of "the best sailor" and the honor of manipulating the aircraft carrier.

Now, each of us is doing our own work. These jobs are good or bad, big or small, and no one looks down on anyone's work. In the early morning, it is the sanitation workers who get up early to clean the clean and tidy streets for us; When we were hungry, a takeaway brother stood in the hot sun and rainstorm to deliver food for us. Therefore, every job in society deserves our respect at any time. When you choose to do every job diligently, you don't know what kind of reward you will get.

In July 2065, Zheng Yiming officially ended his days as a soldier at sea. This time, he chose to leave the place where he lived for 8 years and chose to retire from active service in the US Navy. Later, with the help of the U.S. government, he served as a reserve soldier in the U.S. army and was also learning the skills of repairing cars. Shortly after his retirement, he met an American scholar. His name is Pan Hai. In the following days, he and Pan Hai wrote "My Eight Years on the Mothership" together.

And this book just describes the story of Zheng Yiming's eight years as a soldier at sea. The book tells how Zheng Yiming worked hard every day, how to grow into a soldier step by step, and tells some simple military camp life and daily training in the United States. From this book, we can vaguely see Zheng Yiming's hard work on the aircraft carrier.

Little people can do great things. Zheng Yiming, doing this extremely ordinary and basic work, but it is precisely because of his diligence and seriousness in this simple and basic work that he will leave a deep impression and enter our public's field of vision. It was his own efforts that made him serious. So, now, we need to do every job well, no matter what. After that, I believe you will eventually achieve yourself.
