Suddenly, he didn't answer.

The teacher advertised for a lover

Chen Dong was born in Luoyang, Henan. When I was a child, the soldiers in the movies beat the enemy out of the water with steel guns in their hands. He has great reverence in his heart and dreamed of serving his country since he was a child.

In the college entrance examination, he only filled in one wish, that is, Changchun Flying Academy. Finally, I hope to put on my military uniform and become a flying student.

When Chen Dong went to aviation school for the first time, he was a little bloated. The standard of the horizontal bar and parallel bars is 16, and he can only do three or four. 1500 meters race 5 minutes 10 second, his score is 7 minutes.

Aviation school stipulates that anyone who fails in any subject must be eliminated, so every morning exercise, he has to run one lap more than others and tie some sandbags on his legs. After turning off the lights at night, practice push-ups and sit-ups by yourself, and then run the stairs until you are exhausted. In this way, he lost 10 kg in three months, and Chen Dong achieved excellent results and became the district captain.

200 1, Chen Dong graduated and was assigned to a certain air force regiment. He completed the training task to a high standard every year, accumulated safe flying hours 1500 hours, and won the third class twice during 1 1.

In 2009, China began to select the second batch of astronauts.

At that time, Chen led the flight brigade to participate in the exercise in the northwest, and almost missed the selection. Fortunately, the door of opportunity opened again, and the superior informed them to take the make-up exam collectively.

In May of 20 10, after strict selection, Chen Dong became a member of the Astronaut Brigade.

Chen Dong became a member of the astronaut group.

From then on, Chen Dong devoted himself to the training, as if he had "vanished" and disappeared into the sight of relatives and friends.

Because of his sudden disappearance, Mr. Yao, who taught him, published an article in the newspaper looking for him.

It was not until the announcement of the Shenzhou XI mission that everyone knew what he was busy with.

"Dad checks his homework"

I really came back this time.

Before the "Flying" of Shenzhou 14, Chen Dong accepted an exclusive interview with the headquarters.

Chen Dong was interviewed.

At that time, Chen Dong told reporters that his children also wanted to go to space, and he left them homework.

"'Why do you want to go to space? What do you want to do when you go up?' I want to ask you when I get back.

I think, when Wang Yaping came back, she was the mother who picked the stars, and when I came back, she was the father who checked her homework.

Now, the "father who checks homework" is really back. I wonder if the children have finished their homework?

But what is certain is that the joint efforts of Chen Dong and Chinese astronauts have sown the seeds of space dreams in the hearts of countless children!

Exploration is endless, and dreams never stop!
