With a glaring light, the first manned spacecraft Shenzhou V of China blasted off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and the first Taikonaut of China started the trip to the outer space. At that time, the dream of flight to the outer space of Chinese has come true. The flight makes China the third country in the world to launch a manned spacecraft. The flight is a historic step of the Chinese people in their journey to the top of the world's science and technology.

Centuries ago, it was the Chinese who first invented the ancient rocket and came up with the idea to sent human into space with the power of rocket…. Since the establishment of the PRC in 1949, depending on their own strength and wisdom, the Chinese have made outstanding achievements on developing space science and technology. For centuries, although it was a long journey, the Chinese dream of space flight was inherited and passed on. Finally, the dream came true today!

The realization of the space flight dream demonstrated the capability of our science and technology and lifted our national strength. In history, China has experienced shining days with her leading science and technology power in the world and rainy days because of the lagged science and technology. Today's China is even greater not only because of her long history but because of her intelligence to speed up the development of science and technology in light of the reality. All the achievements, from atomic energy, jet plane, semiconductor, computer and automatic control to the cutting-edge science and technology of national defense, best presented by the success of atom bomb, hydrogen bomb and artificial satellite, and from the blasting off of the first manned spacecraft Shenzhou V to the operating of the first high-performance computer system demonstrated China's mighty power of science and technology. As a prominent representative of the first productive force, the launch of the manned spacecraft shows that China has made the list of leaders in several high-tech fields in the world. The Chinese people today can proudly claim that we have possessed powerful scientific and technological strength and we are on the way to the world's science and technology power kingdom.

General Zhang Aiping wrote poems to praise the spirit of the people engaged in the cause of space flight and encourage the successors to surpass them. The success of the space flight shows that in order to implement the policy of rejuvenating the country with science and technology, one must have fearless courage to stand on the forefront of scientific and technological development in the world. With the breakage of the ice, Chinese must occupy a room in the high-tech fields and we must start our new trip to promote the practice of building a well-off society and realize our objectives of national rise and country prosperity.

At the moment of the first manned spacecraft blasting off and realizing the dream of space flight of the Chinese, let's look forward to China making new contribution to the civilization and advance of the world with her scientific and technological causes.
