On April 29, 1988, China's nuclear submarine conducted its first extreme deep dive test. Before diving, some participants wrote letters to their families, while others took "life-and-death photos." The chief designer, Huang Xuhua, in his sixties, personally led the dive. During the process, the immense pressure of the deep sea caused the cabin walls to emit a tearing sound, and the floor was pressed upwards. Ultimately, the test was successful, setting a new record, and everyone was ecstatic. Today marks the one-year anniversary of Huang Xuhua's passing; we remember and pay tribute!
