"Waiting for you to grow up and send you to space"


  "Cosmic Sky Mission" enters Hong Kong for seeding

"Do you want to go to space in the future?"

  "miss you!"

  "Then you exercise your body, and when you grow up, send you to space and become a modern'little Chang'e.' Maybe you can meet Grandma Chang'e who has been in the sky for thousands of years."

  On June 25, on the fourth day of the National Aerospace Scientists team’s visit to Hong Kong, Long Lehao, an 83-year-old academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chief designer of the Long March series of rockets, visited Hong Kong Peiqiao College and had a humorous dialogue with Jiang Xinhe, a sixth-grade student of the school.

  In the past few days, despite the drizzle in Hong Kong, it could not stop the enthusiasm of local teenagers to "chasing stars".

  After visiting Hong Kong for 4 days, the team of aerospace scientists went to two universities and six middle schools.

On the morning of June 24th, the lecture of Academician Long Lehao ​​and Chief Sun Zezhou at the University of Hong Kong was "trailed" until 13:00, and none of the participants left midway.

  Hong Kong University student Chen Bingcheng asked: "Will we send astronauts to Mars?"

  Long Lehao ​​smiled and said that my country currently has no manned Mars plan, but it is also accumulating related technologies.

Then, he made an invitation to the questioning students and said, "I hope the next generation will continue to work hard and have the opportunity to land on Mars."

  On June 25th, Long Lehao ​​went to the auditorium of Pui Kiu College in Hong Kong. The first schedule arranged by the school was to raise the national flag and sing the national anthem.

  Pui Kiu College was one of the first schools in Hong Kong to raise the five-star red flag.

In 2003, when Yang Liwei visited Hong Kong as the "first man in space in China", he planted an oak tree on the Braemar Hill campus of the school.

Now, the tree that was transplanted to the new campus has grown up.

  Long Lehao ​​said that in order to explain the profound things in a simple way and meet the understanding needs of primary and middle school students, he modified the PPT, with the title "Walk with you to space."

  Jiang Xinhe, a student who listened to the exchange and sharing, said that he hopes that he can become a rocket designer like Academician Long and build various space stations in space.

  "It is very meaningful and rare." said Lin Dahui, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The visit of a team of scientists from major national aerospace projects can allow young people in Hong Kong to learn about the country's aerospace industry, learn the spirit of aerospace, and enhance participation in national scientific research. Enthusiasm and interest to promote the country’s innovation and technology to become self-reliant and self-reliant.

  Professor Rong Qiliang of Hong Kong Polytechnic University said that Hong Kong elementary and middle school students used to watch foreigners go to the sky and always felt that spaceflight was far away for them. I will feel far away again. "Aerospace is a pulling point. Hong Kong students who have studied related subjects will engage in industries that are beneficial to Hong Kong even if they do not go to the aerospace industry."
