In a live telephone link from the Shenzhou-V, astronaut Yang Liwei last night
told his family he felt "very good'' in space.
"I promise to fulfill this mission smoothly. Wait for my good news,'' Yang
said confidently.
The talk was held at 7:58 pm between the 38-year-old Yang and his family
members, who watched him carefully at the tracking and control hall at
Beijing Aerospace Control Centre.
"So proud of you, hubby,'' said Zhang Yumei, Yang's wife. "Our parents, your
son and I are looking at you now. What does the outside of the module look
like?''
"Splendid!'' replied Yang. "The scenery outside is very beautiful, and I can
see our beautiful home planet. The inner environment of the craft is very
good.''
"Dear Daddy, how are you? Have you written diaries? What did you eat?'' asked
the astronaut's 8-year-old son Yang Ningkang.
"Thank you, my dear son,'' Yang said. "The condition of my body is pretty
good.I have written down everything about the work here and what I saw.I ate
the so-called space food in the module,'' he added humorously.
"I wish you smooth sailing and I'll see you tomorrow,'' said the grade two
student.
Prior to this family chat, Yang talked with Cao Gangchuan, Chinese defence
minister, expressing his determination to strive to complete his tasks well
and ensure the full success of the mission.
Yang rocketed into space at 9:00 am yesterday.He took with him Chinese dishes
like eight-treasure rice pudding, stir-fried diced chickens with chili and
peanuts, fish-flavoured shredded pork and a tonic drink containing
traditional Chinese medicine.
On the big screen at the command and control centre, Yang looked very calm
piloting the capsule from his specially-designed chair.
YANG: Outstanding pilot
Yang was born in June 1965 in Suizhong County of Northeast China's Liaoning
Province and joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) at 18.
He graduated from the No 8 Aviation College of the PLA Air Force in 1987 with
a bachelor's degree and went on to log 1,350 hours of flight experience as a
fighter pilot.
In January 1998 Yang became a member of China's first team of astronauts.
He was selected as one of the finalists to be the country's first man in
space for his excellent performance in the five-year training programme.
Yang's colleagues describe him as a man with a good sense of team spirit who
is dedicated to his career, while friends in his hometown, Suizhong County of
Northeast China's Liaoning Province, remember that Yang dreamed of flying
when still a child.
His wife, Zhang Yumei, also serves in China's space programme.
According to Su Shuangning, director-general of the astronaut system under
the nation's manned space programme, China's first team of astronauts are all
capable of working and living in space thanks to five years of rigid
physical, psychological and technical training.
At the Astronaut Training Base in Beijing, China's would-be astronauts
underwent training in space flight, aviation dynamics, air dynamics,
geophysics, meteorology, astronomy, space navigation, design principle and
structure of rockets and spacecraft, as well as equipment examination.
"To establish myself as a qualified astronaut, I studied harder than in my
college years and have received training much tougher than for a fighter
pilot,'' said Yang.

我非常喜欢在有风有雨的季节计划自己;
有风有雨后的季节晒着阳光我昏昏睡去;
睡去的我依然在甜梦中将曾有过的温习;
温习昨天前天等等的种种激情与过去。
