Liu Yang, China's first female astronaut, her daily life is occupied by strict aerospace training, and everything is carried out to the highest standards. This"Goddess"Twice in space, she has won the respect and praise of people, and her achievements are well deserved.
However, even though she was so remarkable, when all the fame and fortune faded, she was still an ordinary person, a daughter, a wife, and a mother. With her own efforts, she has walked towards today's success step by step.
Her achievements are inseparable from the support and companionship of her family, and excellent people often attract excellent people.
Liu Yang was born on October 6, 1978 in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, in a family of workers. In her junior year of high school, the Air Force recruited female pilots for the first time in Henan, and she underwent a rigorous physical examination and became the first and only female pilot admitted to Zhengzhou at that time.
Liu Yang's study attitude is serious and her grades are excellent, and her head teacher once praised her for being diligent and studious, urging each other to make progress with other classmates, and often staying up late to study. Her self-discipline, perseverance, not afraid of hardships and the spirit of not admitting defeat have enabled her to achieve success again and again in her studies.
It is this outstanding quality that has made Liu Yang go all the way to the university and the national astronaut team. However, flying was not her original dream. As a child, she sat on one of the few buses in Zhengzhou, dreaming of becoming a conductor, and later thinking about becoming a lawyer, a doctor, a scientist, and a white-collar beauty.
However, in her third year of high school, because of the appreciation and recommendation of her teacher, she accidentally became the seventh batch of female pilots in China, thus embarking on the road of aerospace.
Liu Yang lived up to his teacher's kindness and went to space. In 1997, she entered the Changchun Flight Academy, and after graduation, she became an Air Force transport aircraft pilot, flying safely for 1,680 hours.
In 2009, she was successfully selected for China's second batch of astronauts, and became China's first batch of female astronauts together with Wang Yaping. Liu Yang said: "The development of the motherland and the progress of the times have ignited my ideals and given me a bigger stage. ”
Although she is married but has not yet given birth, her path to success has not been smooth, and there is still a long way to go from pilot to astronaut.
Recalling her training experience, Liu Yang said that the training was more difficult than she imagined. In the flight unit, swivel chair training lasts only 4 minutes, but in astronaut training, it lasts 15 minutes each time.
This is a difficult hurdle that she cannot easily overcome. "Five minutes is the limit for me, when I hear the four-minute announcement, I suddenly sweat and feel nauseous like motion sickness, but I know I can't throw up and I can't stop shouting.
The coach once said that if you really can't hold on, you can call it a stop. However, from the first astronauts to our batch, no one stopped halfway. Because the body has a reflex memory of the swivel chair, if you vomit or stop the first time, it's hard to hold on the next time. ”
Liu Yang said. However, Liu Yang clearly knows that the space environment is harsh and cruel, and he will not have any tolerance for you just because you are a woman. She persevered, relying on a spirit of love, perseverance and dedication.
These six words have accompanied her to this day.
Liu Yang, like the male astronauts, is supported by his love of flying, challenging the limit and fighting against the load day after day. Her persistence enabled her to complete the training tasks that usually take 3 to 5 years to complete in two years, and successfully passed the comprehensive assessment of astronaut professional skills.
After the final assessment results were released, she was selected into the Shenjiu crew, codenamed 03, and was mainly responsible for the management of space medicine experiments. Although the training was not easy, she enjoyed it and felt the happiness of being trusted and needed by the country.
"Aerospace is an infectious business, and you can feel like you're not fighting alone," she said. In the end, she and Jing Haipeng and Liu Wang drove the Shenzhou 9 manned spacecraft into space, successfully completed the automatic rendezvous and docking and hand-controlled rendezvous and docking with the target vehicle of Tiangong-1, entered Tiangong-1 and successfully completed a series of scientific experiments, and returned safely to the ground on June 29.
Astronaut Liu Yang: Grasp the opportunity, grasp the happiness, and love both career and family Although he shoulders a heavy responsibility, astronaut Liu Yang is comfortable between career and family.
She loves her career and cherishes her family, and her biggest secret is to seize her opportunities and enjoy happiness. Liu Yang is not only an astronaut, but also a versatile amateur host.
She won the championship in one fell swoop in the speech contest held at the Astronaut Center with her love and emotion for her career. She was widely acclaimed for her eloquence and writing. In addition to this, she has many other hobbies, such as reading history and **, as well as cooking good food.
Liu Yang's life is full of happiness and fun.
Cooking for family and friends has become Liu Yang's happiest moment, and she is proficient in cola chicken wings and bibimbap. Her outstanding talent and beauty have given her many suitors, and she has experienced a sweet process from love to marriage.
In 2001, Liu Yang graduated from the Flight Academy with excellent grades, and then became a pilot of a transport aircraft of the Wuhan Air Force stationed in Han, during which he met Li Wei, deputy director of the Education and Publicity Department of the Hubei Provincial Emergency Management Department, and their story began.
Liu Yang and her husband Zhang Hua met in that special unit, and their love sprouted from here.
Zhang Hua and Liu Yang's fate originated from the same unit when they worked in Wuhan. Zhang Hua, a tall and handsome pilot, came from Yichang, Hubei Province, and worked in the same political office as Li Wei.
At that time, they had a very good relationship and often worked together. In Li Wei's eyes, Liu Yang is a very good person. She has a cheerful personality and makes others very comfortable with her without any stress and awkwardness.
Therefore, she is someone that Li Wei and his colleagues like. In contact with Liu Yang, Zhang Hua also noticed her, and their relationship warmed up. In 2002, Zhang Hua and Liu Yang confirmed their relationship and began a beautiful love story.
However, Liu Yang encountered a minor accident while piloting the plane. She calmly coped and successfully completed an emergency landing, which turned out to be a plane that hit 21 pigeons. In Li Wei's eyes, Liu Yang's calmness and adaptability, as well as his excellent physical fitness, are all necessary conditions for becoming an astronaut.
In general, the story of Zhang Hua and Liu Yang is a romantic fate, and it is also the growth process of an excellent female pilot. Not only does she have excellent flying skills, but she also has a calm and calm heart, which is an important quality for becoming an astronaut.
After an in-depth understanding, Liu Yang and Zhang Hua decided to enter the palace of marriage. After meeting each other's parents, both parties were very happy with each other. Liu Yang's parents were full of praise for Zhang Hua and praised him for being filial and careful.
Liu Yang's mother-in-law was full of praise for Liu Yang's ability, and praised her for being very caring, able to take into account the needs of the elderly, prepare fitness equipment and various massage equipment for them, and often buy a lot of clothes for her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
In 2004, they held a wedding in Hankou, and their married life was sweet and active, and they were very popular, often eating delicious food and karaoke with friends. Liu Yang not only flies the plane well, but also cooks very well.
Zhang Hua and Liu Yang have been busy with work and training for several years after their marriage, and although they longed to have a child, they were unable to do so for the time being, due to various reasons, such as the need to travel frequently between Beijing and Wuhan.
It wasn't until 2009 that they began to prepare for a baby, but due to their busy schedules, this plan was put on hold for the time being.
After Liu Yang became China's first female astronaut, her fame soared, and people from far and wide congratulated her and her family. However, in the case of fame and fortune, Liu Yang still remains low-key and humble, without the slightest pride and complacency.
In the face of praise from others, she just said that she was lucky to be able to stand on the shoulders of heroes to receive flowers and applause, and the staff behind the scenes are the real heroes.
Everyone said that it was the hardest thing to keep your heart after becoming famous, but Liu Yang did it. When she learned that her mentor and teacher Wu Qiuyue, who had changed the course of her life, were suffering from the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage, she took time out of her busy training to visit her and carefully prepared gifts.
On the morning of January 6, 2013, Liu Yang, who returned to his hometown of Zhengzhou for the first time after flying to the sky, took time out of his busy schedule to visit Wu Qiuyue, a high school homeroom teacher who was in the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.
Recalling the bits and pieces of the time when teachers and students got along, Liu Yang couldn't help but cry excitedly while being happy, saying that the teacher's kindness was a precious wealth that she cherished all her life.
On the morning of the 6th, Liu Yang dialed the ** of Teacher Wu Qiuyue's husband Pang Renlong, saying that he would go to the ward to visit the teacher. Although Mr. Wu was 67 years old and had sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage, he was still in a wheelchair and waited in good spirits.
At 10:40, Liu Yang came to the ward with flowers in his hand and presented flowers to Teacher Wu Qiuyue. Liu Yang's husband, Zhang Hua, also brought fresh fruit and milk. Liu Yang sat next to the teacher, gently held her hand, and asked with concern about her condition and length of hospitalization.
The teacher replied with difficulty, "Okay, good", Liu Yang was moved to tears, but quickly took out a tissue to wipe it. Liu Yang has always wanted to visit his teacher, but due to his busy work, he has never had time, and he has not found time to come over until now.
They recalled their study days together, and those excellent students and hard-working students were unforgettable.
Among the dozens of students in the class, Liu Yang is the "Maxima" in the eyes of Teacher Wu Qiuyue. Teacher Wu Qiuyue praised Liu Yang in all aspects, so she decided to sign up for the female pilot election for her.
In the laughter, Teacher Wu Qiuyue tasted the grapes sent by Liu Yang and praised the sweetness. Liu Yang carefully wiped the water stains on the teacher's cheeks and clothes with a tissue. In the intimate conversation, teacher Wu Qiuyue also expressed her expectations for Liu Yang, hoping that she could have a child and let herself be a grandmother.
Hearing these words, Liu Yang's eyes turned red with emotion.
The brief reunion of less than half an hour was full of warmth and touching emotions. Although Liu Yang had to end the visit early due to the tight schedule, she still gave the teacher gifts such as the Shenzhou Tiangong No. 1 model and commemorative album before leaving, and gave the teacher an affectionate hug.
Liu Yang held back his tears and repeatedly told the teacher: "You must insist on exercising, strive for the early **, and when I come to visit you next time, I hope you can be as healthy as you were back then." ”
She also promised that she would come to visit her teacher every time she went home in the future. Walking to the door of the ward, Liu Yang stopped, waved goodbye to the teacher, and gazed affectionately, full of blessings, gratitude and reluctance.
For Liu Yang, this is not the first time she has come back to visit this teacher. On her way from pilot to astronaut, she has lost count of the number of times she has returned to visit her teacher.
Pang Renlong clearly remembers that in 2004, after Liu Yang became an Air Force pilot, he came back and brought gifts to his teacher. In July 2012, although she herself was delayed, she still let her parents come to visit Teacher Wu, which shows that she is a very caring child.
In 2012, after Liu Yang completed the space journey of Shenzhou-9, he had the dream of flying again. In order to realize this wish, she has gone through 10 years of hard work, not only through further study to improve her own quality and ability, but also devoted herself to training, fully prepared for the mission.
In the process of preparing for the space station mission, Liu Yang put down her previous achievements, started from scratch, devoted herself to the study of each course with abundant energy, treated every simulation training as an actual battle, and was strict with herself, step by step, and finally in December 2019, she was successfully selected into the Shenzhou 14 crew.
When Liu Yang was preparing for the Shenzhou 14 mission, the challenges and tasks she faced were far greater than those of the Shenzhou 9 mission, but the goal in her heart was always firm, that is, to successfully carry out the mission, and any personal difficulties must give way to the mission.
On June 5, 2022, Liu Yang embarked on the journey to space again, her heart was more calm, full of expectations for space, hoping that the construction of China's space station would be successfully completed, and looking forward to welcoming the arrival of the next batch of crew on the space station.
In Liu Yang's cosmic journey, her lover Zhang Hua has always been by her side, silently supporting and accompaniing, which is the deepest love he gives Liu Yang.
Liu Yang devoted himself to training, and he was inseparable from Zhang Hua's unconditional support and pampering. When the crew of the Shenzhou 9 mission was finally determined, Liu Yang said to Zhang Hua seriously: "If I can't come back, I hope you can promise me two things: one is to take care of our parents, and the other is to help me find a wife who can cook." ”
Zhang Hua replied firmly: "We will take care of our parents together, and I will wait for you to come back!" This wordless but firm love made Liu Yang more brave and fearless on the road to the sky.
In Liu Yang's heart, love words with his lover weigh more than the trivial things of life, because they are enough to offset all disputes. For her, career and family are just as important as they are.
Today, she is a mother of two children, an eight-year-old sister and a six-year-old brother. The children would be spoiled and didn't want her to go on a business trip far away, and she always told them gently: "Mom's dream is to build a big house in space, so that all the children who look up at the stars can go there." ”
For this space trip, the children gave her three tasks: "Complete the mission safely and smoothly; Shoot more ** back; Write your blessings to them in the starry sky. ”
She promised that she would do an excellent job in completing the tasks assigned to her by the children. For her family and children, Liu Yang always has some small regrets in her heart, her father Liu Shilin, the last time he saw her was three years ago, and they usually keep in touch mainly through WeChat and **.
And her son has reached the age of elementary school this year, but Liu Yang is still in the distant space at the moment, and he can't personally accompany his son into the school gate, so she can only watch him carry a small schoolbag and walk into the campus, which makes her feel a little sad.
However, due to the heavy responsibilities on her shoulders, her husband Zhang Hua and his family can only share part of the family responsibilities for her, looking forward to the day when Shenzhou 14 will successfully complete the mission with the heroes and return safely.
For Liu Yang now, all arrangements are the best. The sweet look on her face when she talks about her love history speaks volumes, her partner is handsome, prominent, and deeply in love with her, and now she has both children and daughters, and everything is just right.
1. "Both sons and daughters"Liu Yang: Family is my firm backing 2Hubei's daughter-in-law Liu Yang returned to space after ten years, and the children set three tasks for her, and the old father made mutton noodles for her and waited for her to triumph.
