Wang Yaping introduced the first "Space Painting Exhibition" held by the Chinese Space Station, which came from teenagers in 11 provinces and municipalities in central and western China, which was also a New Year gift to astronauts. Some of these teenagers once lived in poor areas, and after the implementation of the targeted poverty alleviation policy, the local people have lived a happy and well-off life.
"This exhibition with the theme of 'Dialogue between Youth and the Starry Sky' carries the visions, expectations and dreams of the vast number of young people for the future development of China's aerospace industry, and we believe that these dreams will one day become a reality." Wang Yaping said.
