In 2023, astronaut Gui Haichao will become one of the most concerned objects of netizens.
Because he is not only an astronaut, but also a young professor of Beihang, he has many students who are studying.
In this regard, netizens couldn't help but open their brains and wrote many paragraphs: "Classmate, what about your mentor?" My mentor is 'on God'! "Students, starting next week, my class will be suspended because I am going to outer space", "Teacher, can you take us to a group meeting in heaven to help us guide papers and revise homework?" ”
The media is also very curious about Gui Haichao's "life on earth", so they did not hesitate to go deep into Beihang to find the answers they wanted among Professor Gui Haichao's students.
The student interviewed was Su Wenjie.
She told reporters that she also participated in the "Tiangong Classroom" taught by teacher Gui Haichao on the Chinese Space Station, which was a very wonderful feeling, and the space knowledge she was familiar with in the past was really verified in space, and explored space up close through the platform, which was really interesting.
She is looking forward to waiting for the teacher to "return" to Earth and tell them what she has seen and heard in space face to face!
In addition, the reporter also learned from the mouths of the students that Gui Haichao is an "encouraging" teacher on weekdays, his attitude towards students is very gentle and humble, approachable, and there are no obstacles to communication, but whenever students ask him, he can always get a quick and effective answer.
In terms of academic research, Gui Haichao is quite rigorous and meticulous and pragmatic.
Before attending each group meeting, students must prepare carefully, otherwise they may be asked by the teacher.
When revising students' papers, Gui Haichao continued to be serious, basically checking word by word, not missing any mistakes.
Even after he was elected as an astronaut, during the busiest training period, Gui Haichao did not relax his teaching to students. Su Wenjie said that her thesis opening coincided with the teacher's training period, but the teacher still took the time to give her detailed guidance and participated in the online thesis defense.
Inspired by the teacher's own example, Su Wenjie and other students have become more determined to dream of aviation, bluntly saying that they will study harder and strive to take on the responsibility of exploring the vast universe in the future as soon as possible.
At the same time, Gui Haichao's wife also aroused the curiosity of the public, and people wanted to know what kind of excellent woman "captured" Gui Haichao, an excellent astronaut.
In fact, Gui Haichao's wife is not only "the woman behind Gui Haichao", but also a "female scholar" who can join forces with Gui Haichao.
Her name has appeared on the list of a paper seminar of the International Court of Justice of China University of Political Science and Law, and she is the speaker of the meeting.
The theme of the meeting was "Lifei", and Gui Haichao's wife analyzed her views on the development, dilemma and response of green credit in Africa by Chinese financial institutions from a new perspective, and gave a very clear and comprehensive report to the teacher.
Director Bian affirmed the research results and value of Gui Haichao's wife's thesis, and believed that the paper not only grasped the research focus, put forward targeted suggestions, but also put forward suggestions for improving relevant papers.
Several other participants in the discussion also commented positively on the paper and made pertinent suggestions, which led to the successful conclusion of the paper discussion.
It can be seen that Gui Haichao's wife is indeed very outstanding.
She is Liu Bingyu, one of the current associate professors at the School of International Law at China University of Political Science and Law.
01, a "female scholar" who came out of a civilian house: she is not only "Gui Haichao's wife", but also an associate professor who is not inferior to her husband
Because Liu Bingyu is relatively low-key, there is little information about her on the Internet.
People only know that she is a beautiful looking and gentle "female student".
She comes from an ordinary family, has excellent academic performance since childhood, and is a typical "child of someone else's family".
In 2007, Liu Bingyu was admitted to Minzu University of China and obtained a double degree in law and English. In 2011, she again entered China University of Political Science and Law with excellent results, obtaining a master's degree in economic law.
During her time in school, Liu Bingyu represented the school in the United States to participate in the international environmental law moot court final, and won the best results in history.
At the same time, she went to the University of Hamburg in Germany to obtain a double master's degree.
After graduation, Liu Bingyu still did not stop the pace of struggle, and was admitted to Columbia University again and received a doctorate in law.
Liu Bingyu is also present at the headquarters of UN Environment, and because Liu Bingyu has been interviewed by the China University of Political Science and Law, her study abroad and internship experience is rare for the public to see.
The reporter asked Liu Bingyu: Why did you choose to study for a doctorate from Columbia University in the first place?
Liu Bingyu answered: First of all, she is very interested in the research topic and thought about continuing to study abroad to deepen her research in this field. At that time, there were two choices in front of her: the United States and Canada, the former's doctoral degree application must obtain a master's degree in law, and the enrollment is relatively small, Liu Bingyu did not want to waste time and energy, so she chose Canada.
Coincidentally, a supervisor at Columbia University studied a field that matched Liu Bingyu's research interests, and the application process was smooth, so she enrolled in Columbia University.
The reporter asked curiously, how did Liu Bingyu get in touch and communicate with the mentor?
Liu Bingyu said frankly that foreign school and tutor information can be found on the Internet as long as you pay attention.
She applied between October and December of the year before graduation and received an offer in April of the following year.
What she wants to tell her juniors is not to limit their choices to one content and miss out on other life possibilities.
Everyone is not very old, and there are too many variables at each step of the way for future career planning.
Until you try it, no one knows what it will bring to them.
Therefore, try as much as possible, and never "tie" yourself to a certain point.
The reporter continued to ask Liu Bingyu's study abroad life.
Liu Bingyu recalled that she was relatively lazy in her first year, only attending classes step by step and completing the literature reading designated by the teacher.
But in the second semester, Liu Bingyu was awake and began to consciously explore herself, what books to read, what kind of social interaction to participate in... She is not strictly a hardworking international student, but has also participated in some extracurricular activities, and participated in provincial and federal policy formulation as the vice president of the graduate student association, which enriched her experience as a legal practitioner in politics and politics.
She said with great emotion that she enjoyed the pleasant experience and growth brought to her by her 4 years of studying abroad.
The reporter nodded and turned to ask about Liu Bingyu's work achievements of the United Nations Environment Agency.
Liu Bingyu said that she was mainly directly involved in the writing and collation of three research projects of UNEP, so as to provide consulting advice and opinions to target countries.
In this process, she has two intuitive experiences: first, the writing of policy opinions of international organizations is very different from academic writing; Second, the nature of the work is different.
These experiences are something that the rest of the work cannot give, and they are also very meaningful work.
As for how she applied for the position, Liu Bingyu said: "I happened to meet the head of the legal department of UNEP at an academic conference and learned some relevant information. In addition, I needed to go to Africa to study for my Ph.D., and the UNEP project also needed help, and the two sides hit it off and got this job. ”
At the end of the interview, the reporter hoped that Liu Bingyu could give some suggestions to the juniors.
Liu Bingyu thought for a while and said, "I hope that the students can seize the advantages of the CEIBS international platform, cherish the learning opportunities in CEIBS, combine the respective advantages of CEIBS and the Institute, so as to have both depth and breadth of problem analysis, as well as a broad international vision, and do not forget the belief in helping vulnerable groups and realizing social justice." I believe that CESL will be able to cultivate more outstanding legal talents and the future of the world will become better! ”
In addition to her studies and career, Liu Bingyu is also a wife and mother.
She and Gui Haichao entered the marriage hall side by side in 2017 and soon gave birth to a lovely daughter.
Although the two have different directions of research, there are endless topics between them.
In life, the two are a couple with similar interests and harmony; In terms of work, they each shine in their own fields and contribute their own strength to the prosperity and strength of the motherland.
How can such a couple, who are so close and equal, not be admired and envied?
02, the most famous "college student" on the old street: Those who know him well know that he has excellent academic performance since he was a child, and he won awards and got soft
Of course, some people may ask: Since Liu Bingyu comes from an ordinary family, as a husband who talks to Liu Bingyu, is Gui Haichao's family situation similar to Liu Bingyu?
If not, how do two people who are not "in charge" coordinate their completely different values, outlooks on life, etc., to achieve "harmonious coexistence"?
In fact, Gui Haichao also comes from an ordinary family, similar to Liu Bingyu, and he is a high-achieving student who came out of the "small city".
In terms of life and other aspects, they should not have the so-called "three views are incompatible" and "the door is not right".
Born in 1986, Gui Haichao is a native of Shidian County, Yunnan. His home, located at the end of the county seat of Laojie, looks ordinary, but in fact, if you find a random family in Laojie and ask them if they know Gui Haichao, they will answer you: "Gui Haichao is the most famous college student in our street." ”
He has been a top student in his class since he was a child, and he won awards and got soft! His hair Xiao Yin Chengcheng told reporters: Gui Haichao took the college entrance examination mock test in his second year of high school, and his results ranked dozens in the whole school, which is extremely admirable.
Yin Chengcheng's wife revealed that in the past, whenever Gui Haichao returned to Shidian, he would always sit in his home and get together with the children, but now, Gui Haichao has not returned for three or four years.
Yin Chengcheng listened, smiled, and continued to chat with reporters about his impression of Gui Haichao.
He does not think that Gui Haichao is a particularly "magical" person as his neighbors say, but thinks that in addition to his work being more "advanced", Gui Haichao is also an "ordinary person".
When he was a child, he would "play crazy" with Yin Chengcheng and play games together; It was not until he went to junior high school and high school that Gui Haichao slowly reduced his entertainment time and indulged in studying.
However, even so, the relationship between Gui Haichao and the children is not estranged, although they now have their own families and jobs, and they can no longer get together often to chat, but they will keep in touch on the Internet, talk about the children of each family, talk about their own lives, and so on.
Yin Chengcheng finally stressed that he knew the "flying sky" of Gui Haichao, no matter how busy he was, he would definitely take time to keep an eye on the live TV.
In 2003, the news of Yang Liwei's first trip into space reached thousands of homes in China on television, and Gui Haichao, who was in high school at the time, also knew the news.
He loves science and is interested in aerospace.
Yang Liwei's case was like a small seed, quietly planted in Gui Haichao's heart, prompting him to study harder and harder, and was admitted to Beihang with excellent grades to start his dream journey.
It took only 9 years for Gui Haichao to complete his doctoral studies, then go abroad for further study, and three years later returned to Huaxia with fruitful academic achievements, choosing to return to his alma mater and become a "hard-working" lecturer.
The turning point in Gui Haichao's fortunes came in 2018.
03,36-year-old university professor's "great transformation": he is a "special case" in the Chinese astronaut team, and he feels both pressure and cherishes this opportunity
A president of Beihang publicly announced at a meeting that the country began to recruit the third batch of astronauts, and unlike before, this time astronauts include space flight engineers and payload experts, both of which will be selected in relevant universities and research.
When Gui Haichao heard this, his heart immediately burst into flames.
When he was abroad, he had heard about scientific researchers signing up for astronauts and walking into the International Space Station, and now, he is waiting for the opportunity in Huaxia! Gui Haichao submitted the application form as soon as possible to participate in the selection of load experts.
After layers of screening, Gui Haichao joined the third batch of astronauts on the mainland as he wished, and realized his dream of flying as a payload expert.
However, if they want to fly smoothly, they also need to undergo a series of rigorous training.
There are many training items, the intensity is large, the progress is tight, and the challenge is very difficult.
In addition, Gui Haichao is not a professional soldier, and he is slightly weaker in terms of physical quality and aerospace skills training.
But Gui Haichao was not afraid at all, and he said lightly: "It's over!" ”
When he participated in centrifuge training for the first time, Gui Haichao only felt that his entire chest seemed to be firmly pressed by something, and every time he breathed, there was a tearing pain in his chest, and his heart rate couldn't help but accelerate.
He was quite dissatisfied with his performance, and after the training, he specially sought advice from experienced "senior brothers", and carefully identified his shortcomings, constantly corrected and overcome, and improved his grades.
In Gui Haichao's heart, the hardship and difficulty of training are far less than the fun obtained in the process of experience.
He told reporters with a smile: "It was indeed a very interesting process. ”
His efforts were not in vain, either.
In June 2022, Gui Haichao was identified as the astronaut of Shenzhou 16 and will go to space with veteran Jing Haipeng.
Jing Haipeng is very concerned about Gui Haichao, a "novice", and often asks Gui Haichao repeatedly during training whether he is ready and whether he has the ability to fly into the sky; And gave Gui Haichao a lot of help.
At the end of May 2023, Gui Haichao and two colleagues successfully lifted off on Shenzhou 16 to the coveted Chinese space station to start his business trip to outer space.
As he himself said, as a "special case" in the Chinese astronaut team, on the one hand, he withstood countless pressures to realize his dreams; On the one hand, he cherished this opportunity and lived up to everyone's expectations of him.
To sum up, Gui Haichao and Liu Bingyu are indeed a match made in heaven, with similar families, experiences and interests, and their combination is really enviable!
