People's Daily Review: Taking Dreams as Boats to Run towards the Stars and the Sea Astronauts | China | Dreams as Boats to Run towards
In the early morning, in the hinterland of the Badain Jaran Desert, the sky is filled with morning clouds. This quiet and distant land is boiling today as it welcomes the hero's triumph.
After a business trip on the Chinese space station for over 180 days, the return module of the Shenzhou-15 manned spacecraft successfully landed at the Dongfeng landing site. The Shenzhou-15 mission is the last leg of China's space station construction phase and the first leg of the space station application and development phase, playing an important role in bridging the gap between the past and the future. It can be said that the "Dream Team" composed of astronauts Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming, and Zhang Lu delivered a perfect score with outstanding performance.
The term "Dream Fulfillment Team" is certainly related to dreams. This dream embodies the ambitious ambition of Fei Junlong to "return to space" 17 years later, the persistent perseverance of Deng Qingming who "prepared for 24 years and 10 months", and the ultimate romance of Zhang Lu who "looks forward to singing in space 400 kilometers above the Earth"... It also embodies the fervent anticipation of the Chinese people building their dreams for nine days and human exploration of the endless sky.
The fruit of dreams is particularly sweet. The achievements of the "Dream Crew" are evident. During their stay in orbit, three astronauts completed a large number of space science experiments, conducted four extravehicular activities, and successfully completed tasks such as installing extravehicular expansion pump units, connecting cross cabin cables, and installing support rods for the exposed platform of extravehicular loads. They also cooperated to complete multiple cargo extravehicular tasks of the space station, laying the foundation for subsequent large-scale extravehicular science and technology experiments.
The reason why dreams are precious often lies in subverting imagination and breaking through innovation. The Shenzhou-15 crew has set a new record for the number of times Chinese astronauts have participated in single crew extravehicular activities, witnessing the historic moment of the comprehensive construction of China's space station, showcasing China's outstanding capabilities in manned space engineering to the world, and fulfilling the mission of turning dreams into reality.
Dare to have dreams, but also have the courage to pursue them and be diligent in fulfilling them.
Although the Shen-15 crew is currently the oldest astronaut crew to carry out space station missions on average, they have maintained their youthful flying skills with astonishing dedication and effort. The lightness of each step of the extravehicular movement is inseparable from decades of tireless repeated practice; Behind every calm and composed "feeling good" is an indomitable and courageous spirit. The power of dreams cannot be underestimated. Driven by the pursuit of his dreams, I still remember Fei Junlong's strict self-discipline in pursuing his dream of "losing no more than 1 pound in 17 years"; Deng Qingming's most common phrase during training is "do it again"; Zhang Lu stayed in deep water for five or six hours, itching and pain, and could only grit his teeth to persist.
The aerospace achievements promoted by the "Dream Team" not only include the arduous efforts of individual astronauts, but also the close cooperation and selfless dedication of millions of astronauts. It cannot be separated from the profound accumulation of China's manned spaceflight industry for more than 30 years, and the huge support of the new national system. "Returning to our motherland smoothly, we feel good." "Being able to be needed by our motherland is the happiest thing." "Having eyes on the stars and the sea, and a heart full of loyalty." These are the three astronauts of Shenzhou-15 who have just returned to the embrace of Earth and expressed their sincere emotions to the people of the whole country.
At this moment, Shenzhou 16 has taken over the dream relay baton passed down by Shenzhou 15. Not long ago, the crew of Shenzhou-16 astronauts made their first public appearance and earnestly urged young friends to "dare to have dreams, have the courage to pursue them, and be diligent in fulfilling them.". These 12 words are actually a true portrayal of the hard work and hard work of astronauts, a winning weapon for the aerospace industry's repeated achievements, and should also become the spiritual banner set by those who strive.
The space dream is linked to the Chinese dream, and the dream fulfilling journey of the three astronauts on Shenzhou 15 has also proved a truth once again: this is the Xintiandi for those who have dreams, this is a new era for those who pursue dreams, and this is a new journey for those who realize dreams! Astronauts should dare to dream, have the courage to pursue their dreams, be diligent in fulfilling their dreams, face the application and development stage of China's space station, and work hard in the glorious and dream filled expedition, striving to write more Chinese legends in the vast universe.
