When China's first manned spacecraft, Shenzhou-5, was launched, I was thrilled, and it strengthened my determination. Today, I've finally realized my dream and am able to work aboard China's space station."

"I have been remembering clearly the first line of the CYP anthem: 'We are the successors of communism.' This song has inspired generations of young pioneers to honor the legacy of our revolutionary predecessors, following in their footsteps with courage and striving toward our ideals. When I sang this as a child, it always filled me with a sense of strength. Today, I'm proud to be an astronaut, contributing to our country's space endeavors. In the future, I hope you, the younger generation, will carry the baton and help China's space exploration to take steadier and farther steps."

We believe you will take up the baton of history, starting by learning from the pioneers and growing into true pioneers, with the ambition to serve and strengthen our nation, and to be resolute and responsible strivers. Always be ready to contribute to the advancement of Chinese modernization."
