“Every day, we see the sunrise 16 times. Do you know why? Well, we circle the Earth every 90 minutes!” Do you still remember these words? It was on June 20, 2013. Chinese astronaut Wang Yaping gave a science lesson in space. Sixty million school children and teachers across China listened to it. Were you one of them? On October 16, 2021, she and two other Chinese astronauts set off for the Tiangong space station. Wang became the first-ever woman to work in Tiangong. Ms. Wang gave her “Lesson Two” with her workmates on December 9, 2021. That made millions of people very excited.
Wang’s space dream began when Yang Liwei became China’s first man in space in 2003. “When will our country have a space woman?” She thought to herself. Wang was then a fighter pilot (战斗机飞行员). Because of her excellent performance, in 2010, she was chosen to train as an astronaut. After lots of hard training, the woman finally realized her space dream in 2013. And she became the first Chinese woman to ever complete a spacewalk on November 8, 2021. This time, Wang and her team have stayed in space for 183 days. We also heard the first-ever Chinese New Year’s greetings coming from space.
