Preface

Every astronaut is ready to sacrifice before going to space. What everyone carries is not only a personal dream, but also the expectation of the whole country. And on the road to chasing dreams, there is always a price to pay.

Every time you fly, it's a challenge of life. Looking back on the history of China's manned spaceflight, the names of Yang Liwei and Wang Yaping shine brightly, writing the most moving chapter in this industry. Their spirit of sacrifice demonstrates the unremitting efforts behind the aerospace industry.

A trip to space

On October 16, 2021, Shenzhou-13 took off with Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu and embarked on a 183-day space journey. As China's first female astronaut to complete the capsule, Wang Yaping has written her own legend with her strength.

In space, the state of weightlessness makes everything strange and magical. Water droplets and cups float freely in the cabin, and even going to the toilet and eating has become a new experience. Not to mention that what Wang Yaping drinks is actually treated "reclaimed water".

On November 7, Wang Yaping went out of the cabin for the first time. The 120-kilogram spacesuit enveloped her body in this way, floating freely in the vast universe. Swelling of the cheeks, backflow of blood, dizziness and gagging...... All this is the "scenery" that she must face. For more than 6 hours out of the cabin, she seemed to be in boundless darkness, accompanied only by her own breathing.

But at that moment, the figure of the earth came into view, and the fear in his heart was instantly dispelled. Wang Yaping felt the unique pleasure of riding the wind and waves, as if he was incarnated as the Monkey King, coming from the clouds and fog. She not only completed the task, but also became the brightest example in everyone's hearts.

The lights of thousands of homes on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve are still unforgettable. 183 days of life in space are finally over, but the faces of cute people have become unrecognizable due to muscle atrophy and osteoporosis. What is the cost of all this?

Devil Training

If you want to survive in space, courage alone is not enough, but you need to sharpen yourself through hard training. For women, the physical disadvantage is destined to pay more sweat than men.

From daily physical training to simulating various extreme environments in space, Wang Yaping has never given up. The swivel chair made her dizzy, the water pressure exhausted her, and the underwater training made her tremble...... But she never bowed to the brutal training.

Nothing is more difficult than overweight endurance training. The enormous pressure brought by the centrifuge was 8 times its own weight, which made her face deformed, difficult to breathe, and brain ischemia. All of this is testing her limits.

And in addition to these, there are also various field trainings that simulate survival. Surviving in an extreme environment and then completing the set tasks is unimaginable for ordinary people. But Wang Yaping and other female astronauts used practical actions to rewrite the power of women.

Hello everyone, I am Weibo blogger "@航天领域PK达人", focusing on space exploration and record sharing. Each of us has looked up at the stars and longed for the distant universe. And those astronauts who are chasing their dreams and flying high are writing the epic of mankind with their own lives.

They are willing to give, just to be able to break through the obstacles and realize their big dreams. But the road of dreams is never a smooth one, behind it is unimaginable hardships and dedication.

Today, let's walk into Wang Yaping's spiritual world and appreciate their extraordinary journey to the stars. As China's first female astronaut to leave the capsule, she completely encapsulated her life in the grand cause of the country, and continued to forge ahead.

At every moment of life, we are also eager to gain new strength, to break through the shackles given by fate, to realize the ideals in our hearts. And Wang Yaping told us with practical actions: as long as we stick to our dreams and pursue bravely, there is nothing that cannot be overcome.

Although the road ahead is long, there are these aerospace pioneers who are opening the way for us. I believe that one day, human beings will be able to reach higher and farther into the sky and touch the boundless vastness of the starry sky. On the road to realizing this great dream, Wang Yaping is the most lovely model worker.

Let's cheer them on and wish them a safe journey! There are many more opportunities in the future, waiting for everyone to join. Aerospace dream, we are always on the road!
