On September 1st, 2021, the First class for New School Year moved the classroom to the Chinese space station. Through the way of "connecting heaven(天堂) and earth", three astronauts, Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming, Tang Hongbo were invited to bring a special "space teaching" for the students.
Nie Haisheng showed students the flute, a traditional Chinese musical instrument he brought to the space station. More surprisingly, he also brought a special family photo of all the astronauts in active service.
Liu Boming gave a general introduction of the inside space station. By the short video, he showed students the space kitchen, fridge and other objects. He also introduced what food they ate a day and how they drank water.
Tang Hongbo prepared two scientific experiments for the students: "Drinking tea with chopsticks" and "growing sweet potatoes in space". The sweet potatoes that accompanied(陪伴) him all the way from his hometown to space have sprouted. Tang Hongbo also sent a message: "The road of life is long, do not give up your dream because of difficulties. Life requires keeping making progress, and the future is always full of hope. I believe that in the near future, we will meet each other better of ourselves. "
What's more, in order to let the students know how the astronauts exercise and build a healthy body, the three astronauts led the children on the spot (现场) to play Tai Chi.
