Beijing, 1 Jan (Xinhua) -- On the first day of the New Year, the "New Year's Day Dialogue between the Beijing, Hong Kong, and Macao Heavenly Palaces" was successfully held. The Shenzhou 13 crew, which is on a mission to the Tiangong Space Station, and more than 500 young students from Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao conducted a unique and meaningful interactive exchange activity to talk about "space dreams" and move forward together into the future.
Why do astronauts always say "feel good"? What are the new expectations of shenzhou 13 in the new year? What kind of blessings have teenagers received across the country? The Q&A transcript of shenzhou thirteen group and young students takes you closer to this "video call" between heaven and earth.
1. (Beijing venue) Li Haoran, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Tsinghua University: "Especially able to endure hardships, especially able to fight, especially able to tackle key problems, especially able to dedicate" the spirit of manned spaceflight, has been included in the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists. Astronauts are outstanding representatives of inheriting and practicing this spirit, the daily training intensity is very large, and they may encounter some difficulties when performing flight tasks, and believe that spiritual strength is the source of motivation to support you to complete your mission. As a college student, we will often encounter some difficulties and setbacks, and I would like to ask astronaut Zhai Zhigang to share your personal experience in this regard to encourage our young people to better overcome difficulties.
Zhai Zhigang: Where the spirit is, where the bloodline is, where the strength is. The manned spaceflight spirit of "special ability to endure hardships, special ability to fight, special ability to tackle key problems, and special ability to dedicate" is the red gene inherited by the aerospace front, and is a vivid portrayal of the personnel of the whole line of the project who love the party and serve the country, stand on their own feet, and innovate and surpass in the past 30 years since the project was established and implemented.
On the lintel of our astronaut brigade, there are eight big words like this: "The interests of the motherland are above all else." No matter how high and far we fly, a strong motherland will always be our strongest backing, and patriotism will always be the source of motivation to inspire us to fly. I believe that as long as we put the interests of the country in the highest position in our hearts, we will certainly be able to forge ahead and overcome difficulties.

2. (Macao venue) Shi Nina, Secretary General of the Macao Federation of Chinese Students: Some time ago, 3 "space teachers" launched space classes for teenagers across the country, and many students and friends around me watched. As a woman, I would like to ask Teacher Wang Yaping, you are the first "female teacher" in China to teach space, compared with 8 years ago, what do you think is the most impressive and most touching this time?
Wang Yaping: As a space teacher, it has always been my dream to be able to lecture to children again. After 8 years of persistent pursuit of dreams, I finally had the opportunity to re-enter the "podium" and felt very happy in my heart! A few days ago, my family called me to tell me that after the lecture, many netizens put the photos of the two lectures together for comparison, and everyone felt that the space classroom was more spacious and atmospheric, the teaching content was richer and more interesting, and the live broadcast screen was clearer and smoother. In fact, I feel all this, and the changes vividly reflect the prosperity and strength of our great motherland and the leapfrog development of the space industry. As an astronaut, I am also deeply proud to be able to catch up with such a great era and be in such a great motherland. What makes me even happier is that the seeds of dreams planted in those years are now bearing fruit, 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.
"The flying dream never loses weight, and the tension of the scientific dream is infinite." I hope that tiangong classroom, such a platform that ignites dreams, can guide more teenagers to raise their heads and look up at the stars, and plant in their hearts the seeds of love for science, pursuit of dreams, and exploration of the unknown, and the seeds of this dream will one day take root and sprout, blooming more and more brilliant flowers. Spreading knowledge and inspiring dreams is beautiful and sacred. I also hope to be a space teacher in the hearts of children forever.

3. (Hong Kong venue) University of Hong Kong student Chen Siwei: When you left the cabin in the early stage, the three of you were affectionately called "feeling good" by many netizens on the Internet. However, in fact, we all know that space itself is a microgravity environment, the human body in a long-term microgravity environment, is bound to be subject to various challenges, as well as when performing various tasks in space, itself is accompanied by certain risks, please Zhai Zhigang teacher to share with you what is your feeling or mood when performing these tasks with certain risks? And how do you stay "feel good" in the space environment?
Zhai Zhigang: In 2003, when Shen Wu returned safely, Yang Liwei once said "feel good", in 2008, after completing the first mission of the outgoing activity, I said "feel good", and all the astronauts of our brigade said "feel good". This time, we took a group of 3 people to revisit the classics, borrowing a poem from Chairman Mao: "I am more happy with the snow of the Min Mountains, and after the three armies, we will all be happy." It can be described as the mood behind "feeling good", which is a natural outpouring of true feelings that has undergone major tests, broken through many difficulties. I believe that everyone will "feel good" after overcoming difficulties and reaping success.
In this mission, the most challenging is up to 6 months of on-orbit residency, long-term weightless flight, which will cause us to atrophy muscles, bone calcium loss, long-term narrow and closed environment, will make our hearts feel lonely, irritable. In the face of these realistic tests, we are actively exercising physically and actively carrying out self-psychological adjustment in addition to our work. Here, what we need to thank most is the scientific researchers on the whole line of the project, it is their hard work and all-weather support that make us always "feel good" throughout the flight. At present, the task is not yet halfway through, in the follow-up task, we may still encounter various problems and difficulties, but we firmly believe that we will be able to complete the task after the "landing", let the people of the whole country see that we still "feel good" when we return.
4. (Macao venue) University of Macau student Xie Jiayi: Shenzhou 13 will fly in orbit for 6 months, which is the longest mission in orbit in China so far, I believe you are facing great pressure and challenges, I would like to ask Ye Guangfu astronauts, if you encounter some unexpected emergencies during the flight, how will you face and solve them, and what preparations have you made for this?
Ye Guangfu: First of all, I want to explain that although we are in a distant space and far away from the motherland, we are never alone in battle at any time, and our group of 3 people is a very united and highly trusted fighting collective, no matter what the situation and what difficulties we encounter, we will be in the same boat and shoulder the responsibility together. What makes us feel more at ease is that there are thousands of astronauts on the distant ground who are always worried about and guarding our safety, providing us with intellectual support and technical support around the clock, and when we encounter difficulties, they will first cross the sky to send us warmth and strength. We have always firmly believed in the great superiority of the national system, always firmly believed that "unity is strength", and always believed in revolutionary friendship tempered by arduous tasks. If we really encounter extreme situations and need to deal with them independently, we also have sufficient knowledge preparation, technical preparation and psychological preparation.
In space, although we are physically weightless, we are very solid in our hearts. We believe that with the support and support of thousands of troops and horses, the arduous training of thousands of hammers and hammers, the prediction and deduction of thousands of times, and the valuable experience accumulated and shared by our predecessors in aerospace practice, we have the confidence, determination, and ability to resolutely complete the task, please rest assured that the motherland and the people can rest assured!

5. (Beijing venue) Tsinghua University School of Astronautics and Astronautics Dai Wen: Astronauts carrying out manned space missions are one of the best, standing out from many people, after entering the astronaut brigade, you have gone through many rounds of selection and preparation for many years, and finally realized your dream of flying, I would like to ask Ye Guangfu astronaut, in the face of a long process of waiting and preparation, how did you achieve fame and fortune and never give up? This is also very instructive for us young people in today's highly competitive society.
Ye Guangfu: In daily life, people compare one thing to a difficult thing, often saying that "it is more difficult than ascending to heaven." As an astronaut, my personal feeling is that it is really difficult to ascend to the sky. From students becoming pilots, to being selected astronauts, to performing flight missions, each of these "triple jumps" cannot be easily achieved, and everyone cannot ascend to the sky in one step. Our biggest dream as astronauts is to fly, and in our careers, there are only two states: flying and preparing to fly. Each of us on the road to the flying sky, have experienced strict selection and hard training, many people wait for a few years, more than ten years, and may even be a lifetime, the most valuable thing is that everyone always insists on not giving up, keeps the original intention, endures loneliness, and also withstands the test, just like the seedlings in the spring wind to break out of the ground, must have experienced a long winter of accumulation and accumulation.
In fact, this is also a common phenomenon, for all walks of life, to achieve a career, to achieve their dreams, you need to persist day after day, to pay more sweat than others. In the face of fierce competition, I think young people need to be calm and calm, to practice their skills, to be down-to-earth, step by step towards their dreams. There is faith in the heart, there is strength under the feet, as long as there is a dream in the heart, persistent pursuit of dreams, one day will be able to realize the dream.
6. (Hong Kong venue) University of Hong Kong student Zhou Ting: Today is the first day of 2022, I believe that opening the first page of the new year in space, must be an unforgettable experience, I would like to ask you what new expectations you have in the new year, what kind of messages and blessings do you have for the youth of the whole country?
Wang Yaping: Today, our own "space homeland" in China ushered in the first ray of sunshine of the New Year, which is also the first time that we Chinese new year in space. Looking back on the past year, as a Chinese and a member of the Communist Party, I praise the great Communist Party of China that has experienced a hundred years of glory, the Chinese miracle that is constantly emerging in the land of China, and the strivers who have taken root in all walks of life. This year is also a year of full harvest and fruitful results for the entire line of manned space engineering, with 5 successive victories in 5 missions, the construction of the space station has achieved phased results, Chinese stayed in its own "space homeland" for the first time, and history has continuously set new records in the hands of hard-working strivers. In this regard, we all have a common feeling that as long as we have dreams and struggles in China, we will definitely achieve what we want.
2022 is also destined to become a year worthy of writing in the history of China's aerospace industry, China's manned space project was implemented for 30 years, under the support of the motherland and the people, thousands of astronauts will work together to win the decisive battle of space station construction and realize the dream of generations of astronauts. As the inheritor of this great cause, I am very happy that I can run my own stick well at such a great historical moment and deliver satisfactory answers in the new year. The exploration of space is endless, the pace of Chinese exploration will surely be more stable and farther, and the stage of struggle will become larger and larger. As we all can see, as of the end of last year, the Chinese astronauts who have carried out the mission have covered the "post-60s", "post-70s" and "post-80s", I sincerely hope that more young people can join our team, take over the baton of history, as long as they dare to dream, dare to chase dreams, and use wisdom and sweat to build their dream spaceships, they will certainly be able to usher in the launch moment of their dreams and fly to the vast starry sky that belongs to you!

At the event, the vivid stories of the three astronauts showed the scientific research spirit of aerospace workers who are not afraid of difficulties and obstacles and tenaciously tackle key problems. At the scene of the event, representatives of university students from Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao listened carefully and asked questions enthusiastically, and the enthusiasm of young people in various places to advocate science and have the courage to innovate was further stimulated.
"It is a great honor to be able to participate in this dialogue between heaven and earth with 'youth', 'dream' and 'struggle' as the keywords on the spot today, aerospace is a romantic and great cause, and our generation of young aerospace dreamers are fortunate to be in such an era of courage to struggle and make dreams come true, and I am willing to use my own knowledge to fight for the motherland's aerospace industry for the rest of my life." Wen Haocheng, a doctoral student at the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Tsinghua University, said.
