Gui Haichao is a university teacher, mainly studying space at Beihang University. His dream of flying to space has now come true.
On May 30th morning, the Shenzhou-16 went into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre (酒泉卫星发射基地) in northwest China.
In 2018, China began to select the astronauts. Unlike past choices, this time, astronaut s were chosen in three kinds: space pilots, space engineers, and payload specialist (载荷专家). Gui becomes the first payload specialist to enter space. During the Shenzhou-16 task, he will manage the payload for space science experiments.
Gui grew up in a common family in Yunnan Province. His interest in space began at the age of 17 when he turned on the school radio and heard the news of Yang Liwei's space travel in 2003.
Over the past few years, Gui has been trained to use difficult equipment (设备) and do experiments in space. However, the training way was a big problem for him. "I felt very sick after the space training," he said. "So I added more exercises, learned from other astronauts, and tried some of the training methods used by pilots. Finally, my physical ability slowly improved. "
As a sports lover, Gui found happiness in training activities. And because he had the habit of doing sports, he was able to keep up with this difficult training. His spirit of not being afraid of difficulties in realizing his dream made him successful. Although he wore glasses, he was able to become an astronaut.
