Chinese astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu gave a science lecture(讲座)from China's space station to students on Earth on December 9th, 2021. The class began at 3:40 p.m., with a total of 1,420 students attending the lecture from five classrooms across China. The primary classroom is in China Science and Technology Museum. Classrooms have also been set up in Nanning, Wenchuan, Hong Kong and Macao. Millions of students across China watched the event on TV.
Shenzhou-13 members gave the students a tour of the living and working areas of the space station. They showed the students how to increase their strength(力量) with their exercise equipment(设备), introduced a specially designed spacesuit(太空服)and performed experiments. Ye, who is on his first spaceflight(太空飞行), showed how he moved in the environment without weight. They also answered questions from students during the lecture.
It was the first lecture of the Tiangong Class. More lectures will bepresentedby Chinese astronauts. Such activities are held to spread knowledge and encourage young people's love for science.
Shi Yi, a physics teacher in Beijing, said the space lecture was an eye-opening experience that would make students become interested in science.
Wang Yihan, a fifth-grade student, said, "The experiments really surprised me. I have great interest in spaceflight and would like to take part in our country's space program in the future."
Vincent Wong, headmaster of Hong Kong's Pui Kiu College, said the event gave Hong Kong students a chance to communicate with the astronauts. "It also helped them know the rapid development of our country's space technology," he said.
