The starry sky is vast and the exploration is endless. From September 26 to 27, heroic astronaut Zhang Lu returned to his hometown of Changde, Hunan Province, to participate in Changde's theme activities to promote the spirit of manned spaceflight and national defense education for the whole people. Zhang Lu successively shared his dream journey from high school student to pilot, from pilot to astronaut in Hanshou County No. 1 Middle School, Changde City No. 1 Middle School, and Zhangjiajie Cili County No. 2 Middle School, and sowed the seeds of dreams for students.
Zhang Lu introduced the brilliant achievements of China's manned spaceflight to students at Changde No. 1 Middle School.
In 2023, Zhang Lu successfully completed the Shenzhou 15 manned mission that lasted for more than 6 months, and was awarded the honorary title of "Heroic Astronaut" by the CPC Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission, and was awarded the "Third-class Space Merit Medal". In the hearts of hometown students, the name Zhang Lu has long been deeply imprinted.
Live at the event.
There is a confession called "I love you, China"! The singing of "My Motherland and Me" was loud, and pride and emotion filled the hearts of everyone at the scene. When the music started, everyone at the scene was overwhelmed, and "I love you China" was not just a slogan, but a patriotic feeling spontaneously displayed by people.
Live at the event.
On the track and field of Changde City No. 1 Middle School, national defense education drills are being staged. Homemade rocket launches, remote control paper airplane soundtrack flights, balance drill training, national defense class training displays... One by one, the powerful drills called on all students at the scene to go to the belief that "a strong youth makes the country strong," and the cry of "please rest assured that the party can rest assured that a strong country has me" resounded throughout the campus.
Zhang Lu shared his flying dream and growth story in Hanshou County No. 1 Middle School.
At the scene of a Chinese defense education theme activity in Hanshou County, Zhang Lu focused on the three aspects of family and country feelings, brave pursuit of dreams, and the power of perseverance, told the brilliant achievements of China's manned spaceflight with vivid language and intuitive pictures, and shared his flying dreams and growth stories.
How amazing is it to witness 16 sunrises and sunsets in a day? What is it like to see Earth from quiet space? What is it like to grow vegetables in space? Zhang Lu's rigorous and simple lecture without losing humor and vividness made the audience applaud and laugh continuously.
Zhang Lu interacted with the students on the spot.
"With the stars and the sea, the heart is bold and faithful. Four trips out of the cabin gave me a deeper understanding of my career and mission. Zhang Lu said: "The feeling of home and country is absolute loyalty to the motherland, and at the same time a deep attachment to the hometown, which is what I can see from my commander Fei Junlong." From Shenzhou 6 to Shenzhou 15, after 17 years to go to space again, Commander Fei Junlong truly fulfilled his responsibilities for the country, the nation, and the cause, which is a broad feeling of home and country. Dreams and persistence, this is what we see from Deng Qingming. For this mission, Deng Qingming persevered for 25 years, and this perseverance is worth learning from each of us. Zhang Lu shared that on the Chinese space station, 400 kilometers from the earth, the three astronauts of Shenzhou 15 often look for the motherland through the porthole and find each other's hometown. Although the clouds often obscured his vision and could not see clearly, he knew that the motherland had always been in his heart, and his hometown had always been in his heart.
At the scene of a Chinese defense education theme event in Changde City, Zhang Lu said: "Only when there is a country can we have a home, the country is our strongest backing, and only when the country is strong can we chase our dreams and realize our dreams." Students, how do you understand patriotism and love of family? The students at the scene rushed to raise their hands, one by one in an orderly manner on the stage, everyone expressed their determination to start from themselves, learn the spiritual qualities of astronauts who are not afraid of hardship, dare to sacrifice, dare to climb, patriotic dedication, turn the spirit of aerospace into the driving force for future study and work, contribute their own light and heat to the motherland with more enthusiasm, and love the country and family with practical actions!
At Cili County No. 2 Middle School, Zhang Lu listened to the class with the students. What impressed Zhang Lu was that when he walked into the classroom of Class 393 of the third year of high school, a student sitting in the back row said that his academic performance was not satisfactory and he felt confused about the future. Zhang Lu took the initiative to sit beside him and encouraged him: "From now on, you will strive for a clear goal, no matter what the outcome is, you will definitely have unexpected gains." ”
