Immediately evaluate | the first question of the new year, together to the future

When the first rays of sunlight of the new year cross the sky, there must be a touch of Chinese red in the falling colorful spectrum. We ushered in 2022, Chinese also for the first time in space New Year's Eve, the sun shines into the Chinese their own space home.

"In the time that has passed, the China we have seen and felt is a resilient and thriving China." Last night, President Xi Jinping stressed in his New Year's message. In his congratulatory speech, President Xi Jinping also specifically mentioned "three astronauts who are traveling in the vast space" and countless dreamers who are struggling to dedicate.

On the afternoon of January 1, the first day of the new year, at the Chinese space station, 400 kilometers from the earth, three astronauts who were concerned by President Xi Jinping crossed space with young people from Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao to have in-depth exchanges. The dialogue steamed, and the afterglow echoed through the heavens and the earth.

New time, the vast universe, and young life are all infinite possibilities. At the beginning of the new year, youth collides with the stars, and hopes and dreams grow.

At the main venue in Beijing, photos of front-line scientific and technological workers in manned space engineering were posted on the screen. The young people who had the dream of flying in the sky have now grown into the backbone of China's aerospace industry, and the addition of groups of young people has continuously injected new vitality into this collective.

The river of time flows endlessly, and each generation of young people has their own opportunities and opportunities. Today, how do we plan our lives and make history in our own time?

"I believe that as long as everyone always keeps the national interests in the highest position in their hearts, they will certainly be able to forge ahead and overcome difficulties." When asked by the students at the scene to share some personal stories of overcoming difficulties, astronaut Zhai Zhigang said so.

From the successful completion of the Shenzhou-1 flight test in 1999, to the completion of the Chinese space debut of Shenzhou-5 astronaut Yang Liwei in 2005, to the successful realization of the first spacewalk of the Chinese by Shenzhou-7 astronaut Zhai Zhigang in 2008, and the complete success of the 2021 Shenzhou 12 mission China's manned spaceflight has handed over a wonderful answer sheet that has inspired the Chinese people and admired the world. But looking back, the road has not been smooth.

Therefore, the students at the scene of this activity are also very concerned about how the Chinese astronauts resist the pressure and complete the task in the face of sudden difficulties and setbacks. Zhai Zhigang gave the above answer.

Zweig said: "The greatest luck in a person's life is to discover the mission of life when he is rich and powerful. ”

Chinese astronauts are "particularly able to endure hardships, especially able to fight, especially able to tackle key problems, and especially able to dedicate." Not because they are all "special" supermen, but because they have found their mission in life – to fight for the interests of their country and people all their lives.

This is the spirit of China's manned spaceflight, which is one of the spiritual genealogies of the Chinese Communists. Zhai Zhigang said, "Where the spirit is, where the bloodline is, where the strength is." "The sons and daughters of China are connected by blood, whether it is the past or the present, whether it is the mainland, Hong Kong or Macao, they can draw nourishment from this spirit and grow in the new era of magnificent waves." The formation of the spirit of manned spaceflight itself is inseparable from sincere unity, unity of purpose, thinking in one place, and striving to make a difference, so that we can burst out greater greatness in watching out for each other.

As Ye Guangfu said, Chinese astronauts always feel "at ease" in space, because on the distant ground, there are thousands of astronauts who are always worried about and guarding their safety; when they encounter difficulties, the motherland will always send warmth and strength across the sky for the first time.

Under the "Heavenly Palace", the earth is a curved surface, and we are all people on this "face". Whether we are in the mainland, Hong Kong or Macao, as a point of origin, we can connect with the "Heavenly Palace" in a straight line.

This line may not be visible or touched, but along with the direction of our eyes and hearts, it is real: with our backs to the great motherland and our hearts to hundreds of millions of people, we have courage and confidence.

"China's aerospace science and technology is very powerful, and I hope that in the future, rockets can be studied for the country!" When the camera turned to the Hong Kong and Macao branch venues, many students could not contain their excitement.

China Aerospace has never forgotten the space dreams of young people in Hong Kong and Macao. In the past year, aerospace experts have visited Hong Kong, which has aroused strong repercussions among the vast number of young people. Today, the hearts of young people in Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao are even closer because they look up at the stars together.

During the visit of Chinese aerospace scientists to Hong Kong, some students asked: "How can Hong Kong students devote themselves to the national space industry?" In this "Tiangong Dialogue", some students also asked on the spot: "What qualities and conditions do you need to have in order to stand out from thousands of people and realize your flying dream?" ”

Ye Guangfu replied: "In the face of fierce competition, young people should calm down and sink their breath, first hone their skills, and move forward in the direction of their dreams step by step. ”

The strong interest of young people in Hong Kong and Macao in China's aerospace industry also shows that they have been seriously thinking about how to embed their life plans into the coordinates of national development.

On the journey of exploring the vast galaxy, Hong Kong and Macao share the glory of the development of the motherland's aerospace industry, and also add sparkle to the national aerospace industry with their own strength. On the journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, the state has long opened its arms to provide a broad stage for the vast number of young people in Hong Kong and Macao to grow, become talents, and display their talents.

Nothing brings people together more than a common dream, and nothing enhances feelings more than sincere dialogue. This "Tiangong Dialogue" is not only a question and answer about knowledge and dreams, but also a call of responsibility and mission: together for China.

"I hope to guide more teenagers to look up at the stars and plant seeds of love for science, pursuit of dreams, and exploration of the unknown." As the first Chinese "female teacher" to teach in space, Wang Yaping feels very happy.

In the past year, more than 60 million primary and secondary school students have watched the live broadcast of China's "Tiangong Classroom"; the text "Space Day", which tells the true story of Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei, has rushed to the Internet hot search and received widespread attention from netizens; and the "Poem" of the National Day movie "My Father and My Father", which shows the journey of China's early astronauts on the blue wisp of the road, has also aroused the enthusiasm of the majority of movie fans

As shown by the 22 space paintings hand-painted by children in 11 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in the central and western regions, these beautiful aerospace dreams and seeds called "the future" have taken root and thrived in the hearts of the flowers of the motherland.

People compare a thing to a difficult thing, often saying "it is harder than ascending to heaven." But as an astronaut, Ye Guangfu's personal feeling is that the matter of "ascending to the sky" is more difficult than everyone says. Astronauts on the road to the sky, have undergone strict selection, arduous training, many people wait for a few years, more than a decade, and may even be a lifetime.

Before the seedlings break through in the spring wind, they must experience the momentum and accumulation of a long cold winter. For all young people who want to make a difference and realize their dreams, the most important thing to do is to persevere day after day and pay more sweat than others.

Wang Yaping said, "The flying dream never loses weight, and the tension of the scientific dream is infinite. "Dreams are connected to dreams, and the pioneers plant hope in the hearts of the inheritors, which is Wang Yaping's wish for space."

In 2022, a "New Year's First Question" connects the distant galaxy and the hot land of China, fixed in our memories of the New Year, and will look back for a long time in the future, because we remember that at that moment, we looked up at the stars, made promises, told our love, and went to the future together.
