China’s First Female Astronaut Shows How “Women Hold Up Half the Sky”

Tania Branigan

 

1 The famous Chinese maxim has it that women hold up half the sky. Thanks to Liu Yang, they have now soared past it.

 

2 On Saturday a Shenzhou-9 spacecraft blasted off carrying the first Chinese woman into space from its Gobi desert launch site — Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Gansu province.

 

3 Liu Yang becomes the first Chinese woman in space in a step towards the country’s ambition to build its own space station.

 

4 “I am grateful to the motherland and the people. I feel honoured to fly into space on behalf of hundreds of millions of female Chinese citizens,” Liu told reporters before take-off. Speaking alongside her two male colleagues, she said: “Men and women have their own advantages and capabilities in carrying out space missions. They can complement each other and better complete their mission.”

 

5 The launch is the latest step in China’s ambitious programme to build its own space station. American objections prevented it from participating in the international space station. Shenzhou-9 will perform China’s first staffed docking mission with an orbiting space laboratory module. Two astronauts will live and work inside the Tiangong-1 to test its life-support systems, while the third will remain in the Shenzhou-9 capsule.

 

6 Space programme spokeswoman Wu Ping said: “Generally speaking, female astronauts have better durability, psychological stability and ability to deal with loneliness.”

 

7 Liu’s selection for the mission caused a surge of pride in her home province of Henan. But as a child, Ms Liu considered different careers. Xinhua said she first wanted to become “a lawyer like the ones in television series”. Then, it added, “the first time she sat on a bus with her mother, she also thought becoming a bus conductor would be great, as she could ride the bus every day”. However, instead she joined the air force. She began training as an astronaut only two years ago, giving her much less experience than her colleagues.

 

8 In an interview with China’s CCTV, she said she felt “very guilty” that she had not been able to spend time with her family during intense training for the missions. “He has been very supportive of me,” Ms Liu said of her husband. “I am very thankful to him.”

 

9 Liu will carry out medical experiments while the third astronaut will handle docking manoeuvres.
