Chinese Jing Haipeng, a special astronaut of the Astronaut Brigade of the People's Liberation Army
I am Jing Haipeng, a special astronaut of the Astronaut Brigade. It is a great honor to speak today as the representative of the Eighth National Model of Ethics. Looking back on my experience of going to space three times, it is more difficult to fly higher, longer and more difficult than the first. I always keep in mind that I am a party member and an astronaut, and my mission is to go out for the party and win glory for the country.
Once in space, one soars into the sky. Born in a peasant family in Shanxi, I became a pilot in 1985 and became one of the first space warriors to conquer space in 1998. However, flying is not easy, beating a gong and a drum can be achieved, it needs to be refined and quenched into steel. Basic theoretical learning, within a year to master the equivalent of four years of college courses; low-pressure hypoxia training, equivalent to climbing to 5000 meters in 5 minutes; overweight endurance training, in a centrifuge rotating at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, under the pressure of 8 times the weight, we have an emergency pause button at hand, no one has touched it in 23 years. Every training adheres to the standard of actual combat, not once not twice, twice not three times. Ten years is like a day, ten years to sharpen a sword. In 2008, together with my comrades-in-arms Zhai Zhigang and Liu Boming, I completed the first spacewalk Chinese, although I encountered danger at that time, but the mission was more important than life, and I had only one thought in my heart, we must let the five-star red flag fly high in space!
Two into space, and then fight the sky. After the Seven Divine Missions, our names spread throughout the streets and alleys, and there were many auras. But ask yourself, if you revel in the applause of flowers and stop at the honor in front of you, you will forget your original intention and slack off your mission. In the field of aerospace, "problems return to zero", I think people must often return to zero, the body is weightless, and the mind can never be weightless. As an astronaut, the best way to repay the party and the country is to work for a few more years and fly more times. In the days of preparing for the Nine Missions of the God of War, every day the tasks are busy, and two hours of additional training are required at night; every week when training is tired, one day of training will be added on weekends. Before the multiplication selection assessment, the biggest difficulty of the opponent control rendezvous and docking, I have practiced more than 2,000 times, exceeding the requirements of the regulations twice. Space flight, 99.99 points and 100 points that is the difference between success and failure! Ground training can be restarted with mistakes, but space flight has no chance to start again, and only by practicing to the extreme can we walk idly. In 2012, I was again selected into the Shenjiu mission multiplier group and served as the commander, and completed the first hand-controlled rendezvous and docking with Liu Wang and Liu Yang, playing the perfect "Ten Rings in Space". After successfully landing on the ground, Liu Yang said with tears in his eyes: "We have successfully completed the task!" "I know, it was tears of joy. As an astronaut, as long as you can successfully complete the glorious task entrusted by the party and the people, everything is worth it!
Three in space, beyond the self. The new era is the era of the strivers. After two flights, many people think that I will not fly again, on seniority, I have been in space twice; on fame, I have become a household name; on age, I am almost 50 years old. But this did not shake my original intention in the slightest. I know very well that as an astronaut, the original mission is to fly in the sky, and it is better to prepare than not to use, and never to prepare. I have always insisted on studying day and night with my new comrades who are more than ten years old, undergoing "devil-style" training together, and for more than twenty years I have developed the habit of not resting at noon and learning at 12 o'clock at night, making notes stacked higher than the table, millions of words of flight manuals are familiar with the heart, and tens of thousands of instructions can be accurately operated with closed eyes. In 2016, I was again selected as the flight crew of the Shen 11 mission and served as the commander, flew with Chen Dong for 33 days, entered the China Space Laboratory for the first time, and successfully completed more than 40 scientific tests/experiments, laying a solid foundation for the construction of the space station.
Exploring the vast universe, developing the space industry, and building a space power are the space dreams that we unremittingly pursue. Every step of the manned space industry carries the expectations and trust of the party and the people, and bathes in the care and love of the leaders and commanders-in-chief. In particular, President Xi Jinping is concerned about spaceflight and has paid attention to spaceflight, and has repeatedly traveled for us, called us in heaven and earth, and given us commendations. On July 28, 2017, President Xi Jinping awarded me the "August 1st Medal" to encourage me to continue to make new and greater contributions; on June 23 this year, I personally went to the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center to have a cordial call with the Shen 12 Mission Crew, which made us feel inspired and inspired, and felt that we had a heavy responsibility on our shoulders. At present, the construction of the Chinese space station on orbit has been fully launched, and Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping, and Ye Guangfu are carrying out the thirteen missions of the gods, and will stay on orbit for the first time for 180 days. All of us astronauts will always bear in mind the sacred mission on our shoulders, vigorously inherit and carry forward the spirit of manned spaceflight, always be ready to go to space again, create brilliant achievements again, always be the strivers and climbers of China's aerospace industry in the new era, and strive to create brilliant achievements worthy of the party, the people, and the times!
