China News Service, Zhengzhou, June 5 (Reporter Han Zhangyun) learned that Liu Yang will take the Shenzhou 14 manned spacecraft to go to space again. On the afternoon of the 4th, Dai Xianping made a special trip to Liu Yang's parents' home to congratulate him.

In the past ten years, as a teacher representative of Liu Yang's alma mater, Dai Xianping and Liu Yang's family have established a deep friendship.

In his view, Liu Yang's success stems from perseverance and self-discipline. "She is the pride of the school and the pride of the Chinese people."

  In an ordinary residential community in the northern part of Zhengzhou City, the homes of Liu Shilin and Niu Xiyun, the parents of my country's first female astronaut Liu Yang, are here.

When the gray-haired Dai Xianping walked into the room, Liu Shilin and Niu Xiyun, who were being interviewed by reporters, quickly stood up and greeted them with a smile: "Principal Dai, you are here!" The joy in the old couple's words was hidden. Can't hide either.

  Dai Xianping, 67, was the former vice-principal of Liu Yang's junior high school alma mater. Although he has retired for many years, he has been paying attention to Liu Yang's situation.

At that time, he watched Liu Yang go from school to his favorite high school, enter the university hall, and become China's first female astronaut.

  Although he did not teach Liu Yang directly, Dai Xianping knew Liu Yang very well, because that down-to-earth, diligent and intelligent girl impressed many teachers in the school, and he was no exception.

  "Liu Yang studied very seriously and achieved outstanding results. Her head teacher once said that when Liu Yang was in school, she always made appointments with her friends to study together, supervise and promote each other, and often studied until late. These were all due to her self-discipline and persistence, and her willingness to endure hardships. Don't admit defeat." Dai Xianping believes that it is this excellent quality that supports Liu Yang's admission to university and entry into the national astronaut team.

  On the same day, when he learned that Liu Yang was going to go to space again, Dai Xianping made a special trip to express his feelings to Liu Shilin and Niu Xiyun.

He said that this is the pride of the school and the pride of the Chinese people.

At the same time, he once again expressed his gratitude to the two seniors for sending such outstanding students to the school.

"In the past, the school said this sentence. You send a child to the school, and the school is also a pillar of society. Liu Yang has won glory for the country, and her parents have contributed greatly."

  According to Liu's mother, Niu Xiyun, in the past ten years, Dai Xianping has often visited her and her husband like an old friend, which made her and her husband very warm.

She said that she only gave her daughter life, and the step-by-step training of teachers, troops, and the country made Liu Yang what she is today. She wished her daughter a successful completion of the tasks entrusted by the country and a triumphant return.

  The reporter learned that since Liu Yang performed the Shenzhou 9 manned mission as my country's first female astronaut in 2012, as a senior sister, she has become a role model for the students of her alma mater.

Every year for the first class of freshmen, the school will tell the story of Liu Yang, my country's aerospace industry, and the spirit of aerospace.
