China astronaut exclusive English

China astronaut special word taikonaut has its own special English words. Yang Liwei said: "Everyone still remembers that astronauts are called astronauts internationally, but we have successfully created a new word. We call Chinese astronauts "astronauts". It is understood that the root taiko comes from the pinyin of "space". At present, this word is also included in the Oxford dictionary, which means Chinese astronaut.

14 years ago, the dream of becoming an astronaut took root in Chen Dong's heart. That year, Shenzhou VII flew into space, and astronaut Zhai Zhigang printed the first footprints of China people in the vast space. The scene of the five-star red flag flying in space is deeply imprinted in Chen Dong's mind.

On May 20 10, Chen Dong officially joined the China Astronaut Brigade, but it was difficult to realize his dream of flying. At the beginning of the swivel chair training, he would break out in a cold sweat and get dizzy every turn. He bought a revolving computer chair at home and sat on it whenever he was free, letting his wife push it around.

After hard work, it was finally quenched into steel. On 20 16, Chen Dong was selected as the crew of Shenzhou XI, completing his first space trip. This time, he served as the commander of the Shenzhou 14 crew and led a team to go out. Chen Dong once said, "We should go into space for our motherland and devote our lives to manned space flight." People with dreams always know what they want, and then make their dreams closer to them step by step.
