【推荐2】It’s reported that Shenzhou-16 will bring international paintings by teenagers from 10 African countries to the China Space Station.

Jing Haipeng, one of the astronauts for the Shenzhou-16 manned spaceflight mission, shared the information during the Shenzhou-16’s press conference（新闻发布会）at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China’s Gansu Province on Monday.

These paintings were beautifully drawn by teenagers from 10 African countries including Algeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Egypt, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Nigeria, Somalia, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

“Indeed, we have this special and meaningful purpose, which is to show international paintings for the first time on the China Space Station, and these excellent works are from the winners of ‘Tianhe Award’ for young friends from the 10 African countries,” Jing explained.

“At present, we have not seen the paintings. I believe they will be bright. Exploring the vast universe（宇宙）is the common dream of all human, no matter the race, age, or nationality. We look forward to joining hands with all peace-loving people to create a better tomorrow,” he continued.

“We will take the children’s best youth, best friendship, and best dreams into space, plant the seeds（种子）of science, friendship, and dreams on the China Space Station, and let them grow and bear fruit,” Jing hoped.
