Teenagers fly their dreams in the nearest place to the space station

The Tianzhou-6 cargo spacecraft was successfully launched at Wenchang Space Launch Site, and then successfully rendezvous and docked with the orbiting space station assembly.

For 12-year-old Zhou Ruiyan, these news were previously only seen on TV. Zhou Ruiyan's participation in the "Hand in Hand Looking at the Heavenly Palace" activity, in which teenagers and manned spaceflight walked into Wenchang launch site face to face, made her feel closer to the Heavenly Palace.

Zhou Ruiyan comes from experimental primary school in Shiqi Street, Haishu District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. Together with representatives of teachers and students from 12 provinces in China, such as Beijing, Hebei, Henan and Shaanxi, she took part in the activity jointly directed by the China Manned Space Project Press and Publicity Office and the Office of the National Committee for Working Youth, sponsored by the China Aerospace Foundation and undertaken by the Second Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology of China in 28, and came to Wenchang Space Launch Site to watch the launch of Tianzhou-6. This is the starting point of Tianzhou's delivery, and to some extent, it is also "the closest place to the space station".

At the launch site, teenagers watched the fireworks from the Long March 7 rocket illuminate the night sky in Qishui Bay, and heard the rumbling noise of the rocket launching. They jumped, cheered and screamed.

"I saw the great development of China's space industry, which was very shocking." Liu Xinrong is a freshman in Shenzhen University. He was under 18 when he participated in the second "Tiangong Art Exhibition", which just met the criteria for participating.

Liu Xinrong became a star of Shenzhen University because his work "Our Journey is the Sea of Stars" won the prize and was displayed by Shenzhou XV astronauts in China Space Station.

It's not the first time for Liu Xinrong to visit Wenchang Space Launch Site. He was fascinated by space since he was a child. He came to Wenchang alone last year to watch the launch of the candlestick experimental module.

Liu Xinrong is the only youth who has reached the age of 18 in the activity of "Hand in Hand Looking at Heaven". Compared with those children, he knows more about China Aerospace. Liu Xinrong said: "When I was a child, I was looking forward to when China could have its own space station. I didn't expect the Tiangong Space Station to be built so soon. This aerospace spirit has been affecting myself every day."

At Wenchang Space Launch Site, many young representatives, like Liu Xinrong, learned about space step by step in the lectures given by academicians, watched the rocket launch on the spot, witnessed the flying of Tianzhou-6, and carried out a huge picture creation activity of "Youth Painting Tiangong" at the launch site, which was similar to the success of astronauts at the launch site. Through a series of activities, they further approached the manned space project and China Space Station, and also approached the sea of stars and released their space dreams.

After the successful launch mission, teenagers once again walked into the launch site, hand in hand with "Sister Chang 'e" Cui Yihan and other scientific and technical personnel, as well as friends from all over the world who came to Wenchang to study, and * * * completed the coloring creation activities of nine large-scale paintings in the launch site.

The painting consists of nine pieces of nine squares, each with a side length of more than 3 meters and an area of about 1 square meters. These nine paintings respectively reflect the nine landmark nodes of manned spaceflight project in the past 3 years, such as the launch of Shenzhou-1, the first manned flight in Shenzhou 5, the first extravehicular flight of Shenzhou-7, the first rendezvous and docking of Shenzhou-8 Tiangong-1, the first space lecture of Shenzhou-1, the first cargo spacecraft launch, the first flight of Changwu B, the first space rendezvous of astronauts in groups, and the comprehensive completion of the space station.

Wang Cheng, organizer of the event and secretary-general of the China Aerospace Foundation, said that the splendid development process of manned spaceflight project from a blank sheet of paper to a reality was reflected through the drawing of space pictures by hundreds of teenagers and astronauts, which deepened teenagers' understanding of manned spaceflight, guided them to enhance their ambition, confidence and backbone, and sowed the seeds of their love for space.

Wenchang space launch site, it has been raining. Teenagers put on raincoats and went to the "Success Forest" with aerospace scientists and science experts, and * * * planted a "Lianxin Tree" of the same species.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the soil for planting trees is brought by teenagers from their respective hometowns: the soil of Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing, the soil of Saihanba Forest Farm, the soil of Hongqi Canal, the soil of Qian Xuesen's former residence, the soil of Chengdu Panda Base, the loess from the Loess Plateau, the black soil in the Northeast Plain, the red soil in South China and the "fertile soil" in Southwest China.

Wang Cheng explained this "planning": with different colors of soil from the north and south of the motherland, symbolizing various cultures and hopes, everyone "hand in hand" * * * planted a "heart-to-heart tree" of the same species, and also planted the children's dream of "looking at Heaven".
