Death of Li Jianying

Li Jianying (; May 1964 – November 4, 2006) was a People's Liberation Army Air Force pilot. Li chose to sacrifice himself in a crash landing rather than bail out and leave his plane to possibly plow into a village.

Li was born in Zhengzhou, Henan in 1964. He was known for his toughness and work ethic. He joined the army in 1982, and was a colonel and first-class pilot before his death. During his 22-year flying career, Li flew 5,003 times registering 2,389 hours of safe flights, and was awarded third- and second-class honors.

On November 14, 2006, Li Jianying was flying over an area containing seven villages, 814 households, an express toll station and a tile workshop when his fighter jet ran into a flock of pigeons. His jet had over 800 liters of aviation oil, more than 120 shells, a rocket, and explosive oxygen cylinders. Li knew that if he ejected, the jet would go out of control and possibly kill people. He radioed in that he was going to attempt a forced landing. He tried to set down on a river bank, but his jet exploded on impact and he was killed.

He was posthumously awarded a first-class merit and a gold medal for pilots, the highest honor for a pilot. In 2008, he was tied for first place in ''CCTV'''s "China's 10 Most Moving People of 2007" award. Provided by Wikipedia

    Interaction of 25–60‐Day Intraseasonal Variabilities Between Subtropical and Polar Regions Nonlinearly Amplifies and Prolongs the Extreme Temperature Over Northeast China by Jianying Li, Ke Xu, Yang Chen, Jiangyu Mao, Panmao Zhai, Yuhan Yan

    Published 2025-07-01

    Abstract Northeast China (NEC) is one of the major crop producing regions in China, which is severely affected by persistently extreme temperatures during summer. Previous works focused on understanding the intensity of extreme temperatures, yet neglecting its duration and timing. Considering the cr...

    Mechanotransductive Activation of PPAR-γ by Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Induces Contractile Phenotype in Corpus Spongiosum Smooth Muscle Cells by Huan Yu, Jianying Li, Zihan Xu, Zhiwei Peng, Min Wu, Yiqing Lv, Fang Chen, Mingming Yu, Yichen Huang

    Published 2025-07-01

    <b>Background:</b> Previously, we found that the pathological changes in the corpus spongiosum (CS) in hypospadias were mainly localized within smooth muscle tissue, presenting as a transformation from the contraction phenotype to synthesis. The role of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (L...

    Identification of stable reference genes for qRT-PCR in Stropharia rugosoannulata using mRNA-sequencing data. by Xiaohua Zhang, Xuesong Li, Rong Hua, Yuan Fang, Tingsong Yue, Jianying Li, Yuxun Lu, Wansong Yue, Zhanghui Gao, Shaoxiong Liu, Dafeng Sun

    Published 2025-01-01

    Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) is a well-established and reliable technology utilized for the rapid and accurate quantification of gene expression changes. The selection of stable reference genes is necessary to analyse qRT-PCR data and ensure gene expression studies reliability. Stropharia ru...

    Environmental carcinogens often exacerbate endogenous mutagenic processes to enhance tumor promotion by Miaofei Xu, Jianying Li, Yun-Chung Hsiao, Ramesh C. Kovi, Jian-Liang Li, Leszek J. Klimczak, Laura Riva, David Adams, Pierre R. Bushel, B. Alex Merrick, Dmitry Gordenin, John R. Bucher, Robert C. Sills, Arun R. Pandiri

    Published 2025-07-01

    Summary: Environmental exposures significantly influence cancer risk, but their mutational impact remains unclear. We perform whole-exome sequencing of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) from B6C3F1/N mice that arise spontaneously with age (2 years old) or following chronic exposure to one of ten pote...
