"Zhu Rong is regarded as the earliest god of fire in traditional Chinese culture,a space official said."The first Mars rover was named Zhu Rong.The name symbolizes light and hope for space exploration (in our country, and means to guide humans to continue exploration." After leaving the earth last summer,Zhu Rong circled Mars for several months and landed on it in May.In recent years,our country has sent up the world's first quantum satellite ()and Chang'e-4 has made a soft landing on the moon.We have made great progress in space technology and will soon start building our own space station. 26.Who did Zhu Rong fight with?

Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music,read good books,watch good plays and take an interest in the world.
