Samantha Cristoforetti, the first Italian female astronaut in space, posted several lines of a famous ancient Chinese composition on Twitter to share her joy. She first wrote in Chinese, and then attached an accurate translation of the lines in both Italian and English to help more people understand. “Looking up, I see the immensity of the cosmos; bowing my head, I look at the multitude of the world. The gaze flies, the heart expands, the joy of the senses can reach its peak, and indeed, this is true happiness,” it says. Two days before she landed on Earth, the beauty of space and Chinese literature resonated (共鸣) on her Twitter account. Before long, her posts went viral. The text she quoted is from the Preface to Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion, a Chinese calligraphy masterpiece by Wang Xizhi (303-361) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420). She also attached three photos taken in space of China􀆳s Bohai Bay and the day⁃night view of Beijing. “The poem and views are both magnificent as well as healing. If everyone could enjoy the same sight, a lot of pain in the world would be ‘dissipated’,” one user comments. As the first Italian female astronaut in space, Cristoforetti carried out her first space mission on Nov. 23, 2014. In 2022, she started the second mission in April and returned to Earth after a 127⁃day stay in orbit. Cristoforetti has also been active in Sino⁃European cooperation in the field of manned spaceflight. She was a working group member with Chinese astronauts to define and implement cooperation in astronaut operations. When not working, she is an eager reader and has a great passion for languages. Speaking clear Chinese, Cristoforetti once told the media the teams from China and Europe were working very well together in the field of astronaut training. 一位意大利女宇航员在个人社交媒体账号上发布了一组太
