"In space, we gazed at the beautiful blue planet countless times. This is the common home for humanity and needs to be protected by all of us together. Especially, the vibrant red outside the space station's cabin wall, the brightest color in space, filled me with pride for our great motherland. On this mission, I led two people born in the 1990s. With the crew united as one and the assistance of the ground staff, we successfully completed the task entrusted by our country and the people. In the future, we will continue to maintain a diligent attitude, scripting new chapters for China's space industry in the new era."

"At this moment, I feel incredibly proud, happy, and full of anticipation. We've transformed the dedication and hard work of all our researchers into scientific research achievements, and we are very proud of that. And we are very proud of the three extravehicular missions that we've completed successfully. It is a blessing to serve my country in space, and being down-to-earth is also a source of happiness. Very soon, I will reunite with the family I've missed day and night, as well as the comrades and colleagues who have stood by us through this entire journey. We are truly looking forward to that. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you. You've worked so hard! Next, I will promptly begin my post-mission recovery and adjust myself in time. I will be ready, as always, to dedicate my purest love to our motherland."

"It's good to be home, to be down to earth. I'm right on the land of the motherland now, and the words I most want to say are 'Motherland, your children have returned from a long journey.' The journey of 180-plus days in space is a test to the body and a practice of the mind. The mission empowers me to report to the motherland and the people that I'm confident and competent to undertake more challenging tasks. Please rest assured. Every time I gazed into the cosmos from the space station, I'm deeply convinced that we, the Chinese astronauts, will venture farther and farther, reaching into the vastness of space. Finally, I extend my best wishes for the continued advancement of China's space cause, and may our great motherland enjoy prosperity and our people live in harmony and peace."

"Attention, everyone. This is Beijing. The Shenzhou-19 return capsule landed at the Dongfeng landing site normally, and the three astronauts are in good shape. The Shenzhou-19 manned space mission has been a complete success!"
The three astronauts of China's Shenzhou-19 crewed spaceflight mission returned to Earth on Wednesday after completing their planned tasks aboard the Tiangong space station.
The return capsule, carrying Shenzhou-19 astronauts Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze, touched down at the Dongfeng landing site in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at 13:08 (Beijing Time), according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
By 14:02 , the Shenzhou-19 crew had all left the return capsule. They had spent 183 days in orbit and are all in good health, said the CMSA, declaring the mission a success.
"In space, we gazed at the beautiful blue planet countless times. This is the common home for humanity and needs to be protected by all of us together. Especially, the vibrant red outside the space station's cabin wall, the brightest color in space, filled me with pride for our great motherland. On this mission, I led two people born in the 1990s. With the crew united as one and the assistance of the ground staff, we successfully completed the task entrusted by our country and the people. In the future, we will continue to maintain a diligent attitude, scripting new chapters for China's space industry in the new era," Cai said shortly after being carried out of the return capsule.

The Shenzhou-19 crew was sent into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on Oct 30, 2024. Prior to their return, the crew handed over the space station to the Shenzhou-20 astronauts who got on board on Friday.
