The successful launch of the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft, and this time Wang Yaping will also become the first female astronaut in China to carry out the capsule activities, which can be said to be of epoch-making significance.
In fact, Before that, Wang Yaping had landed in space, but as an astronaut, she had been looking forward to going to space again for the motherland.
Now, Wang Yaping's dream is about to come true. But in fact, from an ordinary person to an astronaut who can board space to carry out a mission, Wang Yaping has not been easy along the way.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">1：</h1>
Wang Yaping was born in January 1980 to an ordinary peasant family in Zhanggezhuang Town, Fushan District, Yantai City, Shandong Province, to simple farmers whose families made ends by planting cherry trees.
Like most rural children, when he was a child, Wang Yaping had no toys or princess dresses, and the only toy was a rag doll with red hair sewn by his grandmother.
Although his life was hard, Wang Yaping was a well-behaved and sensible child, who would take the initiative to help his parents do housework and do farm work when he was very young.
Once, when it was the season of harvesting corn, little Wang Yaping actually carried a large back basket alone, and threw all the corn that had been broken down into the back basket, and her small body was also bent.
When the neighbors saw it, they all said, "Why can I let Yaping do heavy work, don't crush the body!" The father said helplessly: "Don't let her do it, this child will not listen!" ”
After going to school, Wang Yaping, doing housework and farm work has become a common thing, as long as she is out of school or rest, she has become her parents' little helper, and her mother always proudly said: "They all envy me for raising a caring girl." ”
It is also this experience of hardship that has exercised Wang Yaping's perseverance, also exercised her body, and made her develop the spiritual quality of bearing hardships and standing hard work.
In addition to sharing housework and farm work for his parents, Wang Yaping also has a specialty, that is, long-distance running. Once, the school held a long-distance running competition, many students were left behind, but Wang Yaping gritted her teeth and insisted, she kept saying to only: "You can't accept defeat, stick to it for a while and you will reach the end." ”
Wang Yaping, who has a stubborn personality, likes to constantly surpass himself by running, thus honing his willpower. When he was a student, Wang Yaping participated in countless long-distance running competitions.
She often admonished herself: "You can't stop until you reach the end." No matter how tired you are, you must persist. It is precisely with the momentum of "can compete for the first and never the second" that she overcame herself again and again and ran from elementary school to high school.
In fact, Wang Yaping also encountered a small episode when she was in high school, and her parents hoped that she would apply for a normal school because of her short school age, she could work early and reduce the pressure at home.
In addition to her, Wang Yaping's family also had a younger sister who was also studying, and for ordinary farmers, it was indeed not easy to support two children to study.
But Wang Yaping, who has always been sensible, chose to be her own decision this time, she secretly applied for high school and was successfully admitted, and her parents also chose to support their daughter's decision after learning.
If Wang Yaping had chosen the normal school, there might not be today's female astronauts. But in fact, Wang Yaping's idea is very simple, that is, he wants to go to college, go out of the mountains in the future, and live a better life.
It was also this private decision that changed Wang Yaping's fate.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">2：</h1>
From childhood to adulthood, Wang Yaping never let his parents worry about his studies, and he still did so in high school. Even Wang Yaping, who had a hard-won opportunity to read, put all her energy into studying, and she was also the top student in the class.
In 1996, when Wang Yaping was preparing for the college entrance examination with all his might, there was also exciting news that the Air Force unit was going to come to Yantai to recruit female pilots, which had never happened before.
Of course, although the whole news is exciting, the students all know that the hope is very slim, one is that the number of places is small, and the other is that the requirements are high. But in the end, the teacher and classmates all set their sights on Wang Yaping, who not only had excellent cultural classes, but also had impeccable personal physical fitness.
At first, Wang Yaping was not confident and said bluntly: "It's too difficult, I can't think about it." But with the persuasion of teachers and classmates, she decided to give it a try.
This attempt made Wang Yaping and Blue Sky bond.
After the test of cultural classes and individual physical fitness, Wang Yaping successfully received the admission letter of Changchun Flight Academy, and after the news spread to the village, it caused quite a stir, not only the parents were happy, but also the villagers.
But in fact, Wang Yaping's successful inclusion is the result of her previous efforts. If he hadn't studied hard since childhood and kept practicing long-distance running to exercise his body and will, perhaps there wouldn't be Wang Yaping now.
At the end of August 1997, with the good advice of her parents, teachers and classmates, Wang Yaping came to the Changchun Flight Academy of the Air Force alone to report that her military career had officially begun.
However, after really entering the school, Wang Yaping knew that the entrance examination was only the first step, and he would have to face too many tests after that. Military school life is different from other university life.
Here, Wang Yaping not only cut off her beloved long hair, but also had to face strict management and training every day, and the heavy study was beyond her imagination, and she was so busy every day that she couldn't stop.
For a while, Wang Yaping was deeply anxious, watching other high school classmates have a relaxed life in college, and she even said to her parents that she had the idea of dropping out of school.
The father said solemnly: "You have chosen a female pilot, how many people envy you, envy our family, can only go forward, can not leave a way back for themselves." Father also said: Don't you sweat, suffer, and suffer offense every day in order to become a qualified pilot in the future? ”
Her father's words were like an empowerment, so that Wang Yaping instantly found the strength to endure hardships and not accept defeat, and since then she has only one thought in her heart, that is, to strive to become an excellent pilot.

With the passage of time, the training that Wang Yaping and his classmates received became more and more difficult, such as long-distance running, swimming, pulling exercises, etc., as well as skydiving.
The first time she jumped, Wang Yaping even felt very challenging, but the second time she suddenly had some fear, and at the moment when she landed safely, she even had the urge to cry.
In April 1999, Wang Yaping and 29 other female cadets transferred to the First Flight Academy in Harbin and began a real flying career.
The summer in Harbin was fine, but the winter was unusually cold. The temperature of more than twenty degrees below zero is mixed with college, and every time Wang Yaping runs, the sweat will wet his hair, and in an instant, the sweat will freeze into Xiaoice flowers, and even the eyelashes are hung with ice crystals.
In such a harsh environment, Wang Yaping constantly meets the challenge with strong willpower, and she feels that her heart is becoming stronger and stronger, and she is getting closer and closer to her blue sky dream.
When he officially flew into the sky for the first time, Wang Yaping was so excited that he was like a child, shouting in his heart: "Finally fly by himself!" "All the efforts of the past have been worth it.
Of course, in addition to the excitement, she was also a little nervous, until the moment the plane landed, Wang Yaping's heart was completely calm, and she finally took the most critical step.
After several years of training and study, Wang Yaping has grown into a qualified pilot, and has flown four types of aircraft, and is already the backbone of the regiment.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Yaping has also experienced the test of actual combat, she participated in the Wenchuan earthquake relief, the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to reduce clouds and rain, and completed countless combat readiness exercises and other important tasks, safely flying up to 1600 hours.
From a peasant girl to an excellent pilot, Wang Yaping used his persistence and efforts to complete the counterattack of life, of course, this is not the end of her career, otherwise there would not be today's high-profile female astronauts.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">4：</h1>
Like many people, Wang Yaping is related to Yang Liwei. At that time, 23-year-old Wang Yaping saw Yang Liwei landing smoothly through the TV and excitedly applauded him.
At the same time, Wang Yaping had a thought in his heart, now that China has male astronauts, there will be female astronauts one day, and if that is the case, maybe he will also become a part.
Sure enough, in 2009, Wang Yaping arrived at the day of female astronaut selection. Astronauts are more demanding than pilot selection. Whenever she felt that she could not support herself, Wang Yaping would grit her teeth and insist, and she kept saying to only: "I must be able to, I don't want to be left behind." ”
In the end, Wang Yaping and Liu Yang passed the test and smoothly entered the ranks of astronauts. That year, Wang Yaping was 29 years old, and his life also entered a new chapter.
At first, Wang Yaping, an astronaut and a pilot, should not be much different, but this time she thought wrong, it turned out that the road from pilot to astronaut was full of unprecedented hardships and tests.
First of all, the preparation of knowledge, Wang Yaping began to systematically learn aerodynamics, astronomy, aerospace medicine and other more than a dozen subjects.
In order not to lose, Wang Yaping must go all out, during the day she concentrates on listening to lectures, at night she is not willing to sleep, for two years, she almost did not sleep before 12 o'clock at night, even the Spring Festival holiday is not easy to let go.
In addition to theoretical learning, the biggest challenge is training, every time wang Yaping insists on running three laps more than others, in the field survival training, whether it is 10 kilometers of forced marching, or building a camp, she insists on a standard with male astronauts.
The most rare thing is gravity training, as the centrifuge gradually starts, the speed is getting faster and faster, Wang Yaping clearly feels that her heartbeat is getting faster and faster, her chest has a sense of depression, and breathing has become difficult.... A series of reactions produced by her body make her feel very painful.
This training that breaks through the body's endurance tests the astronaut's willpower the most, and there is a feeling of being half dead, but although it is painful, Wang Yaping still grits her teeth and insists, she knows that without going through the devil training, she will not become a qualified astronaut.
Finally, Wang Yaping arrived at the moment when he landed in space. On June 11, 2013, she and two other astronauts flew into space with the Shenzhou X manned spacecraft
At the moment of launch, Wang Yaping did not have the slightest fear in her mind, years of training had made her have a very strong psychological quality, her mood was very calm, and six words popped up in her mind: responsibility, mission, and realization of dreams.
And this landing in space, Wang Yaping also successfully completed an extremely important task, that is, in space for more than 80,000 primary and secondary schools across the country to teach, and finally she lived up to expectations and successfully completed the task.
Now, after 8 years, Wang Yaping will land in space again to go out for the motherland, she said: "I believe that this time I will successfully complete the task."
Before the expedition, Wang Yaping said to his daughter: "Mother went to space to pick stars for you." When she said this, Wang Yaping's eyes lit up with tears, and at that moment she was not only an astronaut, but also an ordinary mother.
This year's Wang Yaping is 41 years old, enjoying the rank of colonel, but she still has a dream, firmly moving forward, she has always maintained a hard attitude in her work, towards a higher and farther goal....
