Wenchang, China, April 29 (Huang Guochang, Xu Binru, Guo Chaokai) "5, 4, 3, 2, 1! ignition! At 11:23 on April 29, accompanied by the clear and loud voice of 01 commander Liao Guorui, the Long March 5B carrier rocket lifted the space station and the core module and soared into the sky, opening the curtain of the Era of the Chinese Space Station. For this day, Liao Guorui and his colleagues have been fighting for 89 consecutive days.
The first time as a 01 commander, Liao Guorui had excitement and nervousness in his heart. Back in time, in 2010, Chang'e-2 ran from the Xichang launch site to the moon, kicking off the prelude to the second phase of China's lunar exploration project. Liao Guorui, who has just graduated from graduate school, came to this world-famous "Beidou" and "Lunar Exploration" port and became a post operator of the rocket control system. Originally, Liao Guorui, who had outstanding achievements, could choose to develop in Xichang safely, but when he learned that the newly built Wenchang launch site was in need of fresh blood, he did not hesitate to report to the organization.
In Liao Guorui's application to Hainan that year, there was such a sentence: "I don't want to do well, I just want to do something for the motherland's aerospace industry." "A paper application, a red heart." Step by step, from the operator, the main operator to the goldfinger to today's 01 commander, on the track of ability improvement, Liao Guorui completed the rush at the speed of "100-meter sprint" and quickly grew into the backbone of the young generation of the launch site.

Look up at the stars and keep your feet on the ground. Like Liao Guorui, his lover Zhang Lu is also an astronaut in the accusation hall of the launch site, and she has rich experience in mission execution, and she is affectionately known as "Sister Lu" by everyone.
The front-line tasks of spaceflight are heavy and risky, and there are only a few female comrades who do this line. Some people say that the girl's family should find a "leisurely" post to take care of the family, but Zhang Lu does not believe in "evil". In order not to be regarded as a "special care" of female comrades, she always rushes to work: actively exert her strengths, devote herself to the transformation of the command display system; actively participate in project research, work overtime and stay up late to tackle key problems... In her body, all reflect the persistence and pursuit that should be expected as a "spacewoman".
At the launch site, feeling the shock of the rocket flying in the sky, Zhu Mingxia cheered. Not long ago, he was methodically directing more than 20 people to assemble rockets from segmented arrow bodies into standing "giants". According to Zhu Mingxia, he entered the rocket hoisting detachment of the Wenchang launch site at the age of 22 and has now become the commander of the system, responsible for the vertical assembly of the arrow body. "'Fat Five' is like a child who grew up with his own hands, and when the rocket takes off, his heart will also cheer for it."

Thousands of miles away, turquoise waves crash against the golden sand. Staring at the measurement and control data on the computer screen, Sha Guangyuan's heart was surging and he inadvertently moistened his eyes. It turned out that Sha Guangyuan was a "shepherd" who insisted on sticking to the Xisha Islands of the motherland. Although he could not witness the magnificent scene of the rocket taking off, every time he successfully launched, he would silently count down in front of the post computer screen and follow the password of "01" to witness the great moment in this unique way.
Although it is after the name "95", Sha Guangyuan's small body contains great energy, and the work has successfully completed more than 60 active space measurement and control tasks represented by the Tianhe core module, Tianwen-1, and Chang'e-5. Graded has a "strong" ability at a young age, thanks to his hard training day after day. Learning the principles of the equipment during the day, practicing operations overtime at night, and becoming more and more skilled in the operation of losing heavy capture, Sha Guangyuan refreshed his own record again and again. He said that there are many ways to serve the motherland, and it is the happiest to be able to step on the beautiful and rich Paracel Islands day and night, and to always look up at the mysterious and boundless starry sky.
They are the "screws" in the space launch system. Tightening each "screw", sticking to every post, a pair of hands to hold up the long five B, gathered the powerful force of "Tianhe" to take off. (End)
