Astronaut Wang Yaping replied to Macao students: I am very pleased that the seeds planted by space teaching are bearing fruit

On January 1, the "New Year's Day Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Tiangong Dialogue" activity was held, and three astronauts from the Chinese space station, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, interacted with young students from Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao. Nandu reporter noted that during the dialogue, astronaut Wang Yaping talked about the feelings of "teaching in space". She said that after 8 years of persistent dream chasing, she felt very happy in her heart when she returned to the podium. It is hoped that tiangong classroom can guide more teenagers to raise their heads and look up at the stars, and plant seeds of love for science, pursuit of dreams, and exploration of the unknown.

Nandu previously reported that according to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, on December 9, "space teachers" Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu brought a wonderful space science popularization class to the majority of young people on the China Space Station, and the first space teaching activity of the Chinese Space Station was successfully concluded. This is the second time that female astronaut Wang Yaping teaches space every 8 years.

At the "New Year's Day Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Tiangong Dialogue" activity, students from Macao asked Wang Yaping, "You are the first female teacher to teach space, compared with 8 years ago, what do you think is the most impressive and most felt this time?" ”

Wang Yaping said that as a space teacher, it has always been her dream to be able to lecture to children again. After 8 years of persistent dreaming, she felt very happy in her heart when she returned to the podium. "As an astronaut, I am deeply proud to be able to catch up with such a great era and be born in such a big motherland. What makes me even happier is that the seeds of dreams planted in those days are now blossoming, and some of the children who sat in the classroom 8 years ago to listen to the space lesson have become members of the aerospace family and are fighting side by side with us at this moment. ”

Wang Yaping said that he hopes that tiangong classroom, a platform that ignites dreams, can guide more teenagers to raise their heads and look up at the stars, and plant seeds of love for science, pursuit of dreams, and exploration of the unknown in their hearts. "Spreading knowledge and inspiring dreams is beautiful and sacred, and I hope to be a space teacher in the hearts of children forever."

Wang Yaping also talked about his messages and blessings to the young people of the whole country. She said that by the end of 2021, Chinese astronauts who have carried out out missions have covered the post-60s, post-70s and post-80s. I hope that more young people can join the team and take over the baton of history. "As long as you dare to dream, dare to chase dreams, and use wisdom and sweat to build your own dream spaceship, you will certainly be able to usher in the launch moment of your dreams and fly to the vast starry sky that belongs to you."
