1 . 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.

4 . Duan Jiayang, a 12-year-old student of a primary school in Yinchuan, Ningxia, learns the skills required to take care of vegetable fields.

“I learned how to place the mulch film（地膜）,” he says, “It’s not easy.”

In China, many parents place a heavy focus on their children’s good results, but vocational（职业的）skills have little been cared.

“Some parents do everything for their children,” says Yan Mei, an official with the primary school, adding that many students are short of the basic skills needed in their daily lives. For example, Yan says, some parents would do the school’s general cleaning instead of their children.

Since March last year, the governments have launched a lot of policies, requiring that colleges, middle schools and primary schools pay more attention to teaching students practical skills.

Following these policies, the primary school launched an “agricultural（农业的）class base” on one of its schoolyards. Students plant fruit and vegetables on an area of land about 4,000㎡ in size.

In the days coming up to the May Day holiday, students of various grades at the school worked together in the fields, says school principal Yang Bo. They planted watermelon, carrot and corn. May Day, also known as Labor Day, is celebrated on May 1st in China.

The school hopes that students will understand the food is quite precious so that they will better realize the difficulties that their parents went through.
