Wang Lie leave us…

It is a sad story, I don’t know why people are still making fun of this

From war thunder wiki
On 1st April 2001, an EP-3 (BuNo. 156511) from VQ-1 of the USN stationed at Okinawa, piloted by Lieutenant Commander Shane Osborn, was conducting a reconnaissance flight close to Hainan Island. There, a pair of J-8Bs from Hainan Lingshui Airbase intercepted them; one of the J-8B, piloted by Major Wang Wei (??) from 27 Brigade, 9th Division of the PLANAF, accidentally rammed the EP-3's left wing and was severely damaged by the propellers. His jet crashed into the South China Sea, and the EP-3 made an emergency landing at Lingshui Airbase. Although Wang Wei was witnessed to have ejected, after weeks of searching, he was declared KIA and was posthumously given martyr status and the “Guardian of Sea and Air” (????) title by the PLA.
