In China's aerospace field, there is a special astronaut who has attracted wide attention. He is Gui Haichao, an astronaut of the Shenzhou 16 crew. And he shares the glory with his wife, Liu Bingyu, a well-known associate professor who is gentle and beautiful.
Gui Haichao, male, Han nationality, born in November 1986, member of the Communist Party of China, native of Shidian County, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province. He is a payload expert, professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Astronautics, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. On July 20, 2023, he carried out the Shenzhou-16 manned mission with Jing Haipeng and Zhu Yangzhu. This is his first trip to space, and he is also the first payload specialist of China's space station and the first Chinese astronaut to fly a mission with glasses.
And behind this glorious space journey, there is a woman who is also worthy of our respect and admiration, she is Gui Haichao's wife Liu Bingyu.
Liu Bingyu, like Gui Haichao, was born in Shidian County, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province. She has been brilliant since she was a child, and she has excelled in her studies. After completing her studies, she chose to return to her hometown and become a teacher. Her dedication and deep knowledge soon led her to make a name for herself in the field of education and gradually become a well-known local associate professor.
Although Gui Haichao was busy with work and the time they had together was limited, Liu Bingyu always gave him the greatest support and understanding. She took on the burden of the family alone, taking care of the elderly and raising children, so that Gui Haichao could devote himself to scientific research.
In this Shenzhou-16 manned mission, Liu Bingyu also played a key role. She communicated closely with Gui Haichao and assisted him in various preparations. During the mission, she always paid attention to her husband's work status and used her professional knowledge to escort his safety.
During the manned mission of Shenzhou-16, Gui Haichao and his colleagues, with the support of the space station's robotic arm, successfully completed all the scheduled tasks of the out-of-cabin activities. The success of this mission was due to their close coordination and technical skills. And behind this, it is inseparable from Liu Bingyu's silent dedication and firm support.
Shortly after the end of the mission, at 8:11 Beijing time on October 31, 2023, the return capsule of the Shenzhou-16 manned spacecraft successfully landed at the Dongfeng landing site. The on-site medical supervision and medical insurance personnel confirmed that astronauts Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu and Gui Haichao were in good health. At this moment, Liu Bingyu shed tears of excitement. She knows that this is the result of the joint efforts of her husband and colleagues, and it is also a great victory for China's aerospace industry.
The story of Gui Haichao and Liu Bingyu is a true portrayal of the astronaut family. With selfless love and unwavering faith, they illustrate what true family responsibility and dedication to the country are. On this glorious occasion, we extend our highest respect and blessings to them. At the same time, we also look forward to more brilliant achievements in the future development of China's aerospace industry.
