【推荐3】Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space aboard the Shenzheu XIII on October 16th. The 41-year-old Wang became the first female astronaut to enter Tiangong space station.

Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang was a strong candidate to become an astronaut in 2010. She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men. “The space environment won’t change because you are a woman,” she told Xinhua.

The hardest part is the high-G training. Sting in a spinning（旋转的）machine, Wang would become blind for a while because her brain was short of blood. “There’s a red button（按钮）,” said Wang. “If you can’t bear it, you can press it to stop.” But Wang never used it. “There is no such red button in my heart.” That strong spirit finally made her dream come true in 2013. She joined the team for the Shenzhou X mission.

Wang said that as astronauts, women have their own advantages. “Women may be more patient and can better deal with loneliness. Women’s hearts are also easier to adapt（适应）to the weightless environment, making them more suitable for long-term missions.”
