For decades, thousands of Chinese aerospace people
have never stopped conquering the stars and the sea!
Among them, there is an astronaut from Shiping, Yunnan
Ding Kai

Ding Kai, a native of Shiping, Yunnan, was admitted to Tsinghua University in 1997 from Shiping No. 1 Middle School. He has a doctorate degree. He currently serves as the chief designer of the cargo spacecraft measurement, control and communication subsystem at the Fifth Academy of the Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. He is mainly responsible for the development of the cargo spacecraft measurement, control and communication subsystem. From Shenzhou 7 to Tiangong 1, from Tianzhou 1 to 5, he has opened up the link between heaven and earth for more than ten years!
, Fate is this thing It's always wonderful
Whenever the Shenzhou series of manned spacecraft are successfully launched and the whole country celebrates, the editor always thinks with pride, "We have a senior named Ding Kai, and he works there!"
A few days ago, taking advantage of the successful launch of the Shenzhou 15 manned spacecraft, the editor was honored to interview Ding Kai and listen to him talk about his space dream.
Ding Kai said that he had participated in nearly 10 flight control missions, but the most unforgettable one was the first one, which was Shenzhou 7. At that time, he had just started working and was mainly responsible for the development of relay terminal products. Relay terminals can greatly increase the spacecraft's space-to-ground communication duration. Shenzhou 7 carried a relay terminal for communication tests, which was the first application of my country's relay satellite system. "When the sky-to-ground link was established for the first time, I was very excited!"

On September 25, 2008, Shenzhou 7 was successfully launched. The Shenzhou 7 manned space flight enabled astronauts to conduct extravehicular activities for the first time, and the Chinese conducted spacewalks for the first time, and released accompanying satellites. The companion satellites took pictures of the spacecraft, and successfully completed a number of new technology tests, including relay communication technology. This technology was later widely used in Tiangong 1 and 2, the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft, and the space station, effectively ensuring the communication between astronauts and the ground.
, As long as you love it, all mountains and seas can be leveled.
From a small border town like Shiping to being admitted to Tsinghua University, and then to engaging in high-tech scientific research in the aerospace field, the editor always feels that this is a fantastic journey.
We visited Ding Kai’s childhood neighbor He Chun. He said that when Ding Kai was still in elementary school, his father would order models by mail from Beijing for him to assemble and play with. “I still remember that The model was called Chi Che, and it would run when the battery was installed. It was still the 1990s, which was very unusual in a small county like ours. "
Perhaps it was this kind of parents' protection of children's childishness that allowed Ding Kai's aerospace dream to sprout. According to him, he has been fond of mathematics, physics and chemistry since he was a child, and has participated in many competitions. He also won the provincial second prize in a physics competition and the award of "Three Best Provincial Students".
In 1997, the year when Hong Kong returned to , he was admitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering of Tsinghua University. After graduating from his undergraduate degree, he was recommended to Chinese Academy of Sciences Communications and Information Systems to study for a master's and doctoral degree. After graduating with a doctorate in 2006, he joined the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group and has been working ever since.
Ding Kai was at Tsinghua University
He Chun told us, “At that time, he was in high school and I was in junior high school, and our windows were facing each other. He often stayed up late studying until two or three in the morning. , I get up after six o'clock in the morning and continue studying, which is very hard-working." Ding Kai said, "It's not that exaggerated. I usually don't go past 11 o'clock at night. I think the key to study, including scientific research itself, is to be able to endure loneliness.
, "My hometown has given me the spirit of hard work and hard work"
When talking about his scientific research work, Ding Kai said that the most important things in aerospace work are "strictness, prudence, detail and practicality", which means strictness, prudence, carefulness and hard work. “We must ensure that the spacecraft goes up without any doubts when it is launched, because once it is launched, you cannot touch it again, there is no chance of correction, and it must be successful the first time. In particular, manned spacecraft must ensure the safety of astronauts. "
Ding Kai previously said in an interview with Honghe TV that his hometown gave him the spirit of hard work. Because the Baxin Haidong Primary School where he first attended classes was in a temple and there was no formal school building. "The only two decent classrooms were for children in the first and second grades. In order to allow us to study, the teacher tried every means to borrow houses everywhere. "
Perhaps it was because of such a hardship that Ding Kai cherished the opportunity to study in Shiping No. 1 Middle School. According to the memory of his high school teacher Yang Yunhong, Ding Kai was the most diligent student in their class. "The first impression Ding Kai gave me was that this doll was very smart, and the total score in each test was about 60 points higher than the second place. The second impression is that I lived a simple life. I only used a canvas schoolbag from my first year to my third year in high school. Every time I see him holding his schoolbag in his hands and running into school, he cherishes his time very much. The third impression is that he is quite diligent and willing to endure hardships than other students. He can be said to be the most diligent one in the class. The fourth one is that I have a good relationship with classmates, I like to communicate with classmates, and I like sports. I have the impression that he is a bit thin, but he loves sports and rarely calls in sick. "

The teacher Peng Songyuan at the time also told us that in his impression Ding Kai was a student who was studious, inquiring, and sports-loving, with a high overall quality. "He is easy to learn and good at studying, and he is among the best in all subjects. He is also easy to ask, and he will ask questions when he has them. After studying, he will reflect on himself and ask questions, and dare to challenge authority. Third, he loves sports and football. I remember that he was playing defender at the time. He was a student with high overall quality and comprehensive development. "
Ding Kai was much more modest when he recalled his middle school days. He said that in high school, although his total score was often first in grade, his Chinese score was low. "And I never got first in grade in junior high school, let alone in elementary school. I participate in a lot of extracurricular activities. I often participate in table tennis, swimming, and football. "
, The power of role models is endless
On December 18, 2022, Messi led the Argentine team Winning the World Cup. The editor saw many short videos praising Messi's role as a role model for the younger generation of players.
Perhaps, the power of role models is universal. Ding Kai also told the editor that his senior's admission to Tsinghua University played a great role in motivating him. "At that time, Teacher Yang Yunhong came to guide us. He always uses Qiu Hui's deeds to inspire us, which I think is quite effective. I had never thought about taking or Tsinghua before, but Qiu Hui let me know that students from Shiping No. 1 Middle School can also be admitted to Tsinghua University, so I dared to think about . The deeds of these seniors will inspire us to fight hard. "
It is reported that Shiping No. 1 Middle School was "high-spirited" in the 1980s and 1990s. In 1993, Qiu Hui was admitted to Tsinghua University, in 1994, Wang Xin was admitted to Tsinghua University, and in 1997, Ding Kai was admitted to Tsinghua University.

Later, Ding Kai himself became a role model for his junior students, inspiring generations of No. 1 Middle School students to work hard. When asked what he would like to say to his current students, Ding Kai said that persistence is the key to learning. "I think the main thing is to seize the time in class, preview before class, and review after class. The method is very common, but there are still not many students who can do it well. If you really do it well, you will learn well. Once you develop a learning attitude, as long as you keep it in the future, you can learn well."
, The pride of my alma mater, the pride of my hometown
I have been studying for more than 20 years, and I will never forget my gratitude to my teacher when I look back. "The most unforgettable teachers include Zhang Ming, Ren Hongling, Yang Yunhong, Wang Suhua, Peng Songyuan, Gao Guanyin, Yang Yuankui and many others. They not only teach us knowledge, but also always encourage us." Ding Kai told the editor.
Teacher Yang Yunhong, the high school teacher at that time, told the editor, "I will always be proud of him. Not only me, but all the teachers and students of Shiping No. 1 Middle School are proud of him. I want to tell him that although the aerospace industry is busy, we must combine work and rest, pay attention to our health, do our work well, take good care of our families, maintain good health, and strive to make greater contributions to our country's aerospace industry."
Teacher Peng Songyuan
"Ding Kai is a young scientific and technological worker who has made important contributions to the country's aerospace industry. He is the pride of all the teachers and students of Shiping No. 1 Middle School, the pride of his alma mater No. 1 Middle School, and the pride of the people in his hometown. I have always had a I hope he can return to No. 1 Middle School to give a lecture to the junior students when he returns to his hometown. I believe it will be a good inspiration to the junior students. He is an example of diligent learning, daring to question authority, and all-round development," said Peng Songyuan, a former teacher.
Ding Kai is proud of his hometown, and Ding Kai will never forget his hometown. In addition to his unforgettable mentor in middle school, Ding Kai also has a taste for his hometown. "I always buy rice noodles from Shiping online. I love eating them. I like Shiping's tofu, rice noodles and roll noodles the most. I can't forget them wherever I go." Ding Kai's hometown in Shiping
Ding Kai told the editor that he will go back to Shiping every two or three years now. He feels that after several years of protection and construction, Yilong Lake in his hometown has become more and more beautiful, and the surrounding small villages have become cleaner and cleaner. "Shiping tourism should develop in the current direction and it should get better and better."

, Using dreams as horses, fighting for the stars and the sea
It is reported that my country's "Shenzhou" series of manned spacecraft are all developed by the Fifth Academy of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, where Ding Kai works. Shenzhou 15 is the 15th Shenzhou spacecraft developed and launched by the President of the Fifth Academy of China, and it is also the 10th manned mission of our country.
This flight is the last flight before the completion of the Chinese Space Station - the Shenzhou 15 manned mission is the last step in the construction phase of the Chinese Space Station. “We have people in heaven” will become the norm. The Chinese people’s dream of “settling” space is about to come true.
Let us stand on the frontier and look at Beijing, be proud of China’s never-ending space dream, and be proud of the countless Chinese astronauts who have conquered the stars and seas! ! !
