Earlier, on the occasion of New Year's Day, the Peking University Rong Media Student Press Corps wrote a letter to "sister" Wang Yaping, saying a good new year to all the astronauts of Shenzhou 13.

In their letter, they wrote:

In the past, it is called the universe, the four sides are called the universe, and the universe has always been in the dreams of the sons and daughters of China. Often for the new Peking University, and generation after generation of Peking University people, strive to shoulder the responsibility of making China "go upward". As an astronaut, you explore the origin of all things in the sky, running from the earth to the sea of stars, we are proud of you! The space dream is an important part of the dream of a strong country, and the achievements of China's manned spaceflight show the extraordinary Chinese style and the powerful force for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The future of China's manned space industry will surely be more brilliant because of you.

The sun and the moon are rising, and the Tatsuya column is Zhang. At the beginning of another year, silver and Han look at each other from afar, and the end of the world is happy. On the occasion of This New Year's Day, all the students of the Student Press Corps of peking university rong media center sincerely said to you and all the astronauts of Shenzhou 13: Happy New Year! I wish you a happy and healthy new year, and I wish you a safe and smooth "Space Spring Festival"! Hail to you and look forward to your triumph!

Wang Yaping completed her master's degree at the School of Journalism and Communication at Peking University, and is now pursuing her Ph.D. in the School of Psychology and Cognitive Sciences at Peking University.

Her letters are as follows:

Students at alma mater:

happy New Year! On this special occasion of greeting the old and welcoming the new, I am warm and happy to receive your letter from you in the distant space. Heartfelt thanks to the school leaders, teachers and students!

During my time on track, I missed the campus of Peking University. Through the school's homepage, WeChat and Weibo, I saw and was deeply encouraged by the attention and support of Peking University people for the aerospace industry of the motherland.

In 2021, I and astronauts Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu carried out the Shenzhou 13 mission to witness this romance with the stars. We successfully performed on-orbit medical examinations, space tests, on-orbit training, the first space lecture of the "Tiangong Classroom" and two outgoing work on the space station. The starry sky is vast and bright, and we will explore more possibilities in the vast universe.

And I know very well that you on the earth are also seeking to realize your ideals and pursue the future of Peking University and your home country. From scientific breakthroughs to humanistic research, it is you who make Peking University "always new"!

2022 will be a year of hope. At this moment, the starry sky and the unnamed lake shine together; our love and attachment to Peking University and the motherland has never been a time difference.

The wonders of the universe, the eternity of the ages. All the crew members of the Shenzhou 13 astronauts are deeply proud of you, Peking University and the motherland, and extend their most sincere and ardent wishes.

I wish you all great achievements and academic success in 2022!

Wang Jingyu, a 2018 undergraduate student at the School of Public Health of Peking University, was so excited that tears came out of his eyes when he watched the successful launch of Shenzhou 13. After the astronauts came out of the cabin and gave lectures, each "small step" in the space station was a "big step" to create human history. "Today, we are in Peking University, seeking up and down in our respective fields. Broad-minded and approximate, thick and thin. We will follow their example, be down-to-earth, bravely explore, and pluck the stars of our dreams. He said.

Sui Xuechun, a 2019 master's student in the Department of Chinese Chinese And Speech, said that the reply of Yaping's "sister" gave them a taste of the thousands of meteorology in the universe, as well as the perseverance and persistence of Chinese astronauts and Peking University people.

"We sincerely wish to move forward with this 'greeting from space', the starlight in the unnamed lake, we know very well that it is the light from the Milky Way, and it is also the same frequency and flickering dream of the universe and the earth." She sighed.
