"Going up to the sky to catch the moon, going down to the five oceans to catch turtles" has always been the Chinese nation's romantic pursuit of exploring the mysteries of nature and science.
From the flying Shenzhou to the dragon exploring the sea, behind every glory is the effort of scientific researchers, demonstrating the strength of the Chinese nation.
Yang Liwei ’s Shenzhou-5 flying journey in 2003 seems like yesterday, and 19 years later, among the personnel of the Shenzhou-14 aviation mission in 2022, there is a beautiful figure that attracts everyone’s attention. This figure is—my country’s first aviation heroine Liu Yang.
As we all know, becoming an astronaut is a very difficult thing. The selection of astronauts has extremely high standards. It not only has high requirements on people's height, weight, physical strength and other hardware conditions, but also tests people's willpower and dedication. Today let us learn about the story of this female aerospace hero-Liu Yang.
Liu Yang was born in Zhengzhou, Henan in 1978. He is now 44 years old. As my country's first female astronaut in space, she is now able to perform a mission in space for the second time. Her experience and ability are beyond doubt.
It can be seen that she has excellent enough abilities, and the spirit behind it is worthy of admiration and learning by each of us.
Liu Yang has been the top student in the class since he was a child, with top grades. He is not only a good child in the eyes of teachers, but also a child of other families in the eyes of parents.
Her academic journey was smooth, and she performed very well from junior high school to high school, and she also served as the league secretary of her class. When she was 18 years old, she made a decision that also affected her future career development. She decided to join the army and become a soldier and enter the military academy.
Although life in the army is difficult and boring, it cannot stop Liu Yang from studying hard. With her efforts, her college entrance examination scores far exceeded the admission scores of key local colleges and universities, and she was finally admitted to the Air Force Changchun Flight Academy with a score of 31 points higher, along with Yang Liwei, Wang Yaping, Zhai Zhigang, , Jing Haipeng, and others became alumni.
entered this well-known university, which laid a solid foundation for her to become an excellent astronaut. Later, she became a graduate student majoring in sociology at Tsinghua University and had a successful career.
After graduating from the Changchun Flight Academy of the Air Force in 2001, she has been sharpening her skills for ten years, constantly learning the basic theories of aviation, aerospace professional technologies, constantly doing mission simulation training, and receiving 8 major categories of aerospace environment adaptation training, flight procedures, etc. Ten subjects of astronaut training.
Finally, in 2012, she was confirmed to be a member of the Shenzhou-9 mission team, becoming my country's first female astronaut in space, and making a significant contribution to China's aerospace industry.
There is a rumor circulating that female astronauts’ fertility will be affected after going to space. This rumor is pure nonsense. Most people believe that the radiation present in space may damage women's reproductive functions and cause genetic mutations. But in fact, there are many examples of female astronauts successfully giving birth after going to space and returning to earth, because Liu Yang is one of them.
Liu Yang and her husband Zhang Hua are comrades in the army. They met in the most beautiful years of their youth. In 2004, when Liu Yang was 26 years old, they got married. In 2015, the third year after the completion of the Shenzhou-9 mission, Liu Yang spoke on a program and expressed that he was already a mother in the family.
In a later interview with her by " Global Times ", she also confirmed the fact that she was a mother. Liu Yang became pregnant and gave birth to a child, successfully breaking the rumor that female astronauts' fertility would be affected after going to space, and solved the problem. The world's misunderstandings about space have brought us a step closer to understanding space.
After ten years, Liu Yang carried out his second aviation mission. While performing national tasks, Liu Yang is also performing family tasks. The children at home told Liu Yang that he must come back safely from space and bring his blessings to his mother into the sky and stars. They also hoped to take more photos of space.
These explanations are not only the child's longing for his mother and worries about his mother's travel, but also a sweet blessing for his mother, which warms people's hearts. It can also be seen that Liu Yang has put a lot of effort into the education of his children.
Liu Yang's achievements in the aerospace career are inseparable from the silent support and encouragement of his family behind him.
Shenzhou 14 has successfully rendezvous and docked with the space station on June 5, 2022. It is still performing missions in space. Let us look forward to the day when the aviation heroes return triumphantly, and praise the heroes who have dedicated themselves to China's aviation industry. .
