On June 16th, 2012 Tiangong-Ⅰwelcomedits first guest, the

Shenzhou-Ⅸspacecraft. China was the third country in the world to send a woman

into space using its own technology. In the world, the first woman into space

was the Soviet Union’s Valentina Tereshkova in 1963.

As a child, Liu Yang once wanted to be a bus conductor and later a lawyer but decades later,

the thirty-three-year-old woman, became the first Chinese woman in space.

Liu Yang and her two male colleagues carried out a successful manual docking operation(人工对接)with the Tiangong-Ⅰlaboratory module during the 13-day mission. The technique was

mastered only by USSR(前苏联)and USA space teams in the 1960s.

Ms Liu, from Henan Province, joining the PLA Air Force in 1997, became an experienced pilot

after flying safely for 1, 680 hours. In 2010, she became an astronaut because of her good job.

“When I was a pilot, I flew in the sky. Now that I am an astronaut, I will_________. This

will be a much higher and farther flight. I always couldn’t help wondering: What would the earth

look like from outer space? ”Liu said.

“I have full confidence, ”Liu said before the task. “There are many foreign female

astronauts that have been into space. Men and women have their own advantages in carrying out

space tasks. They can encourage each other and better complete their tasks.

However, the difficulty of her training has not affected her life’s pleasure. “I love

children and I love life. I love reading, especially novels and history books. I am also a great

cook. To be with my family is one kind of happiness, but to fly is another kind that people can’t

experience. ”

“I am grateful to the motherland and the people. I feel honoured to fly into space on behalf

of millions of female Chinese citizens. ”Liu said after coming back to the earth safely.

On China’s Tencent QQ messaging service, she goes by the name“little flying knight”.
