Chen Qin: “Feelings on Women’s Day” Phoenix Chen Qin North American Association of Women Writers today at “Hualian” The well-known old song "Young Friends Come to Meet" was sung at the Women's Day group reception hosted by the group. We who were young in the 1980s have now entered middle-aged and old age. When we got together to practice singing this song last weekend, everyone discussed the song, "For the motherland and the four modernizations, how much sweat have you shed, do you feel guilty looking back on the past?" One sister said: Have we contributed to the motherland overseas? Sister Fengxia, founder of the North American Women Writers Association, said: "We teach Chinese abroad to contribute to the spread of Chinese culture!" Fengxia has led North American women to publish two books about the personal experiences and experiences of Chinese women living in the United States. She and her husband also founded the Mencius Chinese School and are making contributions to the spread of Chinese culture. This topic has been on my mind for many years. I have been thinking about doing something for China abroad. Today I saw on WeChat a photo of an ARJ21 aircraft flying over the Beijing Airport posted by a domestic friend, and I felt very cordial: I once participated in the design and implementation of the control system for the first Chinese regional airliner at Honeywell in the United States. I was also the only Chinese female engineer to participate in its earliest design at Honeywell, and helped the cooperation and communication between COMAC and Honeywell. Especially in 10 and 11, I was inspired by the large aircraft industry and returned to China to serve COMAC for two years. Last year, this regional airliner finally passed the airworthiness certification, and I also made a contribution to it. Now I am engaged in the design and implementation of the flight control system of China's first mainline passenger aircraft. I will work hard for the rapid development of China's aviation industry. In fact, we Chinese women have contributed directly or indirectly to China in different positions, and we have a clear conscience!
