The beautiful Hainan Island has always been the focus of Chinese people's attention. December 15, 2023, an ordinary day.
On this day, a large number of people and cars from all over the country appeared on Hainan Island, and everyone was in a hurry and moved towards the same place. Private cars are rolling forward, countless people, the pace is speeding up, everyone tacitly moving forward, and then moving forward to the goal: the seaside.
The sky is gradually getting dark, and the traffic is increasing unabated. From morning to night, the bus actually disappeared, about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, all the cars, people appeared in Wenchang, Hainan Province, the police officers were in order to maintain order, all the cars were intercepted and asked to change to the ferry, the original local bus has a new task to do the ferry, pick up and drop off people in the designated area.
We, the six people from Sanya Phoenix Mountain Residence, Pan Wenjie, Rose, Dr. and Mrs. Zhang, Ren Jie, and Zhang Ling also joined this torrent with firm eyes.
Two kilometers away from the launch center, there is a small and exquisite Qishui Bay, on the beach, tens of thousands of people gathered here, the old people are supported by their children, children are playing on the beach, young and middle-aged people are the mainstream, or standing or Xi sitting and everyone talks and laughs, bends their knees and chats from time to time looking up at the starry sky, looking forward to it together.
Tonight, the stars are shining, and a crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and it is auspicious to the people underground;His face was extraordinarily gentle. The sea, the tide is long, the waves are bursting, the sea water brushes and brushes in line to attack the people on the shore, the tide is one meter to the shore to attack the people step by step backwards, the people are noisy, and finally retreat to the forbidden line.
At this moment, the moon and stars in the sky, the shadow of the coconut grove on the ground, the rolling waves on the sea, and the gathering of people constitute the real heaven, earth and people.
All this because:This evening, December 15, 2023, in Wenchang, Hainan, there will be a satellite launch.
From the setting sun to the bright starry sky, four or five hours passed before I knew it. We're all tired, never long for nearly five hours** sky.
It's half past nine. The officers and police officers lined up, and some people stood up, and some began to raise their mobile phones and look in the direction of the Western satellite launch: there, the lights of the launch center shone in the sky. The six of us also didn't hesitate to hold up our cameras.

At 21:41, the clouds above the launch center suddenly emitted a strong light, and at the same time there was an earth-shattering thunder, a large cloud of air slowly extended upward, and two seconds later, a large ball rushed out of the cloud of air and appeared, it was like a real dragon Tianzi,Born out of thin air, it is extraordinary, and rises to heaven with the momentum of thunder. Up, up again. At the same time, a ray is emitted from the emission center, and the ball moves eastward, the ball is higher and smaller, and at 1:09 seconds, the ball drags out a bright tail, and at 1:11 seconds, it turns diagonally downward, and the tail is elongated, at 1:25 seconds, the tail is detached, and the ball begins to slide upwards and again, getting smaller and smaller, and at 1:36 seconds, it turns diagonally upwards again, and turns around in the air, gradually and gradually drifting away into the distance, merging with the other stars in the sky, far into space beyond the reach of the naked eye.
For more than a minute, I couldn't think at all, my eyes were being led by the ball, and my ears were full of roars. When the satellite was launched, all the people roared with joy and shouted: "Long live the motherland!"The crowd was excited, and the shouts of 10,000 people were all drowned out in the super-loud rumble of the satellite.
It was only after me that I realized that because our camera did not have enough pixels, the satellite could only see a rough idea, like a round ball. According to CCTV news, at 21:41 on December 15, 2023, Beijing time, China used the Long March 5 Yao-6 carrier rocket at the Wenchang Cosmodrome to successfully launch the remote sensing 41 satellite, and the satellite successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.

That's when I understood:The Round Ball is the Long March 5 Yao-6 carrier rocket, which is the strongest rocket in China at present。The tail is the launch vehicle, which, after disengagement, sends the remote sensing 41 satellite into the sky.
There will be a variety of different experiences in a person's life. This time, the six of us made a special trip from Sanya to Wenchang in order to witness the whole process of the satellite launch. We did it, excited, excited, indescribable.
Proud of our great Motherland!Thrilled to see with your own eyes the most powerful evidence of the strength of the Motherland!Proud that we are Chinese! !
