In every child's heart, there is a dream of "flying in the sky", crossing the bright galaxy, swimming in the vast universe, and exploring unknown mysteries in the vast desert sky. On the occasion of the 9th "China Aerospace Day", Yili joined hands with the Chinese Population Welfare Foundation to enter the No. 5 Primary School of Siziwangqi in Ulanqab City, Inner Mongolia, to carry out the "'Benefit' to see the starry sky - 'Children's Dream Tongyu' Astronomical Science Popularization Public Welfare Action", donating astronomical science courses to the children here, and painting astronomical "picture scrolls" with the children, helping the development of local astronomical science popularization, and protecting the children's astronomical dreams with knowledge.
Zhou Wenxia, vice president of Yili Group, said that providing astronomical knowledge for children is not only the responsibility of the school, but also the whole society. "'Benefit' to see the starry sky - 'Children's Dream Tongyu' Astronomical Science Popularization Public Welfare Action" came to Siziwangqi, hoping to provide more help for children's astronomical dreams by providing professional astronomical knowledge popularization.

Mankind's exploration of the vast universe is inseparable from the strong support of the basic disciplines of astronomy. In order to help the development of astronomical science popularization in mainland China, Yili Group launched the "Children's Dream Tongyu" public welfare action in October 2022 under the guidance of the goal of "comprehensive value leadership" proposed by Chairman Pan Gang, hoping to build a classroom for young people, especially those in remote areas, to learn astronomical knowledge through the construction of science popularization bases and astronomical science popularization activities, so that they can have equal rights to enjoy national science popularization resources. Up to now, the "Children's Dream Tongyu" public welfare action has successively entered 5 regions of Qinghai Delingha, Gansu Minqin, Guizhou Hezhang, Guizhou Kaili and Guizhou Pingtang, covering 49 primary schools and helping 5,245 children obtain astronomical knowledge curriculum resources.
Siziwangqi is located in the northwest of Ulanqab City, located in the Inner Mongolia Plateau, and has an indissoluble relationship with astronomy, where there is a well-known space landing site, known as the closest place to the universe. In recent years, the local area has vigorously developed the aerospace and astronomical industries, created a unique new model of "popular science + research + tourism", and formed a good atmosphere of astronomical science. The "Children's Dream Tongyu" public welfare action into Siziwangqi not only broadened the children's horizons and stimulated their curiosity, but also injected new vitality into the astronomical science education here, drove more people's attention and participation in astronomy, and helped the innovation and development of the local cultural and tourism industry.
In less than two years, the "Children's Dream Tongyu" public welfare action has brought high-quality astronomical science popularization resources to campuses around the world, helping more teenagers in remote places to freely fly their astronomical dreams and pursue their dreams. In the future, Yili will continue to promote the nationwide development of the "Children's Dream with the Universe" public welfare action, and protect the astronomical dreams of more young people by driving the participation of more social forces, so as to contribute to the vigorous development of China's astronomy and aerospace industry.
