Carry out daily training, participate in space science popularization activities, and sort out research notes... Recently, Wang Yaping, a member of the new National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and an astronaut of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Astronaut Corps, has been busy and full. In June 2013, Wang Yaping carried out the Shenzhou 10 manned flight mission and moved the classroom into space for the first time, becoming China's first "space teacher". In October 2021, she returned to space to carry out the Shenzhou 13 manned mission. During the mission, she carried out space teaching twice and was welcomed and loved by the majority of young people. "Space teaching has sown dreams for children and pointed out the direction of struggle for me. I will do my best to integrate space science popularization education and aerospace cause, and continue to be a good 'space teacher' for teenagers," said Wang Yaping. From Tiangong-1 to the China Space Station, the development of China's manned space project has always been closely linked with popular science education. "Tiangong-1 Classroom" has become an important platform for spreading space knowledge and sowing space dreams. On December 9, 2021, Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, the other two astronauts of the Shenzhou 13 crew, brought a wonderful space science lesson to young people. During the 60-minute lecture, the astronauts vividly introduced and displayed the working and living scenes of the space station, demonstrated the magical physical phenomena in the microgravity environment, and explained the scientific principles behind the experiment. Compared with the first space lecture, Wang Yaping felt more confident and calm. Confidence comes from long-term preparation. In order to be the "seeder" of the aerospace dream, Wang Yaping has been learning, settling and accumulating. In the past year, in addition to the Shenzhou 13 manned mission, Wang Yaping often participated in various popular science activities and won the title of "the most beautiful space teacher". "Every space class will ring the bell for the end of the class, but the spread of scientific knowledge will not 'end the class'." This year, Wang Yaping was elected as a new member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, with a heavier responsibility on his shoulders. She told the reporter that she had prepared a proposal on strengthening popular science education for teenagers and improving their scientific literacy. "In the follow-up mission of the space station, we will carry out in-depth science popularization education activities by building a science popularization education base, carrying experiments in Zhengzhong Primary School, astronauts' in-orbit teaching, and interactive exchanges between heaven and earth. We believe that through our joint efforts, more people will come closer to and love space." Wang Yaping is full of expectations about the future. (Xinhua News Agency)
